A NEW look at an action movie starring a Hollywood megastar which was shot in Scotland has been unveiled.
We previously told how Samuel L Jackson got all of Scotland talking when he was spotted in the West Lothian town of Bathgate – and then at a Bongo's Bingo event in Glasgow.
Known for his roles in classic films such as Pulp Fiction as well as for playing Nick Fury in the Marvel movies, Jackson was reported to be filming the movie Damaged.
According to IMDb, the film follows a Chicago detective who goes to Scotland after an emerging serial killer’s crimes match those of one he previously investigated.
The film also stars Scottish actor John Hannah – known for his roles in The Mummy franchise – as well as Kate Dickie, who previously starred in Game of Thrones.
It also features French actor Vincent Cassel, known for his roles in La Haine, Black Swan and Ocean’s Twelve.
It is set to be released on April 12 in cinemas across the UK with the trailer giving a new look at the tense thriller.
Scottish streaming company Stream Digital in partnership with Red Sea Media and Bondit Media Capital made up the team behind the film.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
