“Since we first met Iko Uwais, Matthew Chausse and I have been pushing to make a star vehicle for him like Warpath. Pairing him with the truly versatile action legend Scott Adkins, along with XYZ films, the company that started things off for us, has been a dream come true.”
The martial arts alien invasion film stars Uwais and Adkins, along with Louis Mandylor, Randall J. Bacon, and Yayan Ruhain rounding out the cast. Playing at Trieste Science+Fiction, Toronto After Dark, Austin Other Worlds, Rio Grind Vancouver, Cinepocalypse Chicago, and the Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival, Beyond Skyline met positive reactions from a global crowd.
