More About DogMan
Luc Besson’s badass characters are standouts in his films, and the DogMan trailer seemingly introduces a few who could make quite an impression. In addition to Jones, the movie’s cast includes Jojo T. Gibbs (Past Lives), Christopher Denham (Oppenheimer, Shutter Island), and Clemens Schick (Andor). Lincoln Powell is also set to play a young Douglas Munrow, suggesting that the film will dive into its main character’s backstory.
DogMan’s story revolves around Douglas Munrow who was forced to live in a kennel at a young age. This ultimately causes him to bond with dogs in a way that sustains him as he discovers more about the good and bad side of life, ultimately helping him seek justice. It’s a fittingly ambitious pursuit for Besson, who is known for unforgettable worlds and sprawling movies like The Fifth Element. The movie also looks set to showcase Besson’s action writing which, given that the filmmaker made Lucy and wrote the first Taken movie, is a strong sign that exciting moments will abound.
