Lionsgate has now released the trailer for Damaged.

This sends Jackson on a trip to Scotland which will involve a mystery, a cult conspiracy, and a multicultural investigation.

The film is co-written by Capaldi alongside Koji Steven Sakai and Paul Aniello.

Samuel L. Jackson's 10 Best Movies, Ranked
Samuel L. Jackson's prolific career includes over 150 roles. From blockbuster franchises to intense dramatic roles, these are Jackson's best movies.
McDonough is a first-time feature director, primarily making his career out of television directing. This is far from his first time in the crime genre, however, boding well for Damaged. McDonough has previously worked as a director on prominent shows such as Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Killing Eve, and The Expanse. Hopefully, he can effectively transfer this knowledge over to film as he directs Damaged.
