From Deadline:
More than two decades after Jean-Claude Van Damme split-kicked his way onto the scene, the legacy of the Muscles from Brussels is making a double impact on Hollywood’s action game. Radar Pictures (The Last Samurai, Riddick) has a new vision for Van Damme’s 1989 martial arts actioner Kickboxer, one of two Van Damme reboots in the works around town.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Hmmmm...I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this. I love that martial arts films are making a bigger comeback, but I really enjoyed the originals. The cheese factor in these films are part of what makes them so awesome.
It is an incredibly shit idea, and is doomed to fail.
thanks but no thanks. van Damme movies should be left alone.
did these people not see what happens when you make a kickboxer movie without VD? go watch kickboxer 3 and 4.
also, bloodsport is a classic. judging by todays action sequences, G.I.joe, Fast and Furious, lone ranger, etc everything is sooo over the top. bloodsport will be like a wanna-be mortal kombat movie coz people will be doing teleport and bicycle kicks, throwing fireballs and what not.
no thanks. just leave it alone.
without van damme's charisma, both projects would get knocked out. it would be ridiculous rebooting this films they should try fresher ideas.
