    21.05.2009  Jean Claude Van Damme and Vinnie Jones kick it in "Weapon".

The Muscles from Brussels and that big, bald-head British dude are going to kick ass in a movie called “Weapon.”

Action stars Jean Claude Van Damme and Vinnie Jones are going to play “rival assassins who form an uneasy alliance,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. They will be directed by Russell Mulcahy, who did the first two Highlander movies and just finished Give ‘Em Hell, Malone.

In “Weapon,” Jones will be a highly skilled sharpshooter. Van Damme will play a character skilled with a knife (which has me hoping there’ll be a knife-in-toes fight, a la the immaculate Double Team). Backed by the DEA, they join forces to take down a drug cartel.

Considering the power behind this film, it is likely that it will be released to the big screen, which will be Van Damme’s first in a decent amount of time (not counting the limited release, JCVD).  Regardless, Jones has proven to be an undeniable butt kicker, and he should make for a good pairing against someone facing a bit of a “resurgence” like Van Damme. Yeah!

10.05.2009  Karate

Recently a new Van Damme film is announced: Karate. We now have the first promo poster and plot!

A legendary karate world champion (Van Damme), known as "The Piston" because of the speed of his legs, is famous and wealthy and has the martial arts world as his feet. But his ego takes control and his world begins to crumble around him. He loses his family and his life goes into a downward spiral. Before long, this one time champion is living like a bum on the streets of Los Angeles.

Then, the Piston meets KK, an internet fight promoter. KK has a dream... to find a fighter good enough to win the prestigious freestyle mega fighting championship in Las Vegas. The Piston returns to his karate roots in Japan to find the fighting edge he needs to become a champion again. He comes back to Las Vegas for his make it or break it fight, for the fight of his life in the cage against the undefeated young champion from New York "The Bulldozer."

This classic, gritty, riches-to-rags-to-riches story has a heartfelt, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat finale. It is one of the greatest fight movies of all time, appealing to a wide-ranging, new-generation audience and especially to the millions of karate and martial arts fans around the world who are hungry for a new martial arts epic in the tradition of "Bloodsport".

This week starts the filmfestival of Cannes (13 to 24 of may). So big chance for more news on Van Dammes latest project The Eagle Path, Universal Soldier 3 and Karate!

    21.04.2009  Universal Soldier 3

Jean-Claude Van Damme will fight fire with fire in the battle against Chechen terrorist Basayev in the new action drama ‘Universal Soldiers: the Next Generation.'

Directed by John Hyams, the film revolves around die-hard soldiers Luc Deveraux and Andrew Scott, played by Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren.

 

They find themselves on opposite sides, as both join the battle against the Chechen militant Basayev who takes control of the Chernobyl power station, and threatens to unleash a poisonous radioactive cloud unless his demands are met.

Both Lundgren and Van Damme starred in the original 1992 drama ‘Universal Soldier’ from German director Roland Emmerich. Jean-Claude also portrayed Luc Deveraux in the 1999 'Universal Soldier: the Return' by Mic Rodgers.

    13.04.2009  The Monk

I found these two little pictures of the project 'The Monk" in my mailbox today. They are so rare, I thougt to share them immediately with you. The movie would be directed by Ringo Lam (Maximum Risk) and had a budget of $25 Millions. Van Damme did a lot of promo for this movie on Cannes filmfestival, in 2001, but the film was cancelled.

    05.04.2009 You love dogs ???  Adopt a Van Damme dog!

Jean-Claude Van Damme has never hidden his passion for dogs and finds it insensitive when there is neglecting of animals in distress. Thus, during the shooting in Bulgaria, Mexico and Thailand, he saved eight of the street dogs; some of them were seriously wounded. The star has offered them medical treatment and repatriation at a kennel in Belgium Brabant Wallon. But he has already five dogs and cannot keep the other eight he has rescued. That is why he offers now a chance to those who wish to adopt any of those eight. As said, the dogs are in Belgium, are in good health now and of course for free.

    19.03.2009 Theatrical Release Universal Soldier 3

The new "Universal Soldier" flick isn't going direct-to-DVD after all. Because of the involvement of Van Damme and Lundgren, Sony will be releasing it theatrically. This will be Van Damme's second theatrical release in twelve months (the other being "J.C.V.D") - that's quite a leap forward for the Muscles from Brussels!

    08.02.2009  Jean Claude Van Damme: I need success to win back my son.

HE is best known as the all-action hero in hit movies Timecop, Street Fighter and Universal Soldier. But since his heyday more than 15 years ago, JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME has appeared in a series of duds. He has also gone through one of the most bitter divorces in Hollywood, which resulted in him losing access to his youngest son, Nicholas, 13.  Now, though, The Muscles From Brussels is back with a vengeance in JCVD — which is getting rave reviews and being compared with Mickey Rourke’s triumphant return in The Wrestler. And Jean-Claude has a bigger incentive than most stars to make it back to the top.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, he says: “The only way I can bring my son back is to be successful again as they were saying to him, ‘Your father is a loser’.”

    24.01.2009  Van Damme in Double Impact sequel?

Jean Claude van Damme has said he would like to make sequels to Bloodsport and Double Impact. Van Damme told The Guardian he would consider revisiting his former career - but on one condition.

"I am planning on making sequels to Bloodsport and Double Impact but the action films I will make in the future will be more believable and character-based. I am now on my second cycle of fame, and I want to make films that smell real and are truthful," he said.

But he said he is no longer the 'Muscles From Brussels' fans might expect: "When you see me in JCVD, the way I am in that film, it is very difficult for me to go back to doing three flips in the air and landing on the table saying, 'I'm Jean Claude van Damme'."

from an unhealthy relationship with high class and vicious business owner "Soli", (ADAM KARST), and maybe even herself. With the help of his Best friend, "Bobby Jackson" (JOSEF CANNON) the alcoholic, paraplegic former Military specialist. They set out on a path together, "THE EAGLE PATH"
that could free them all from the self imposed prison they each find themselves in."

    03.01.2009  JCVD release on DVD (UK)

JCVD the highly-anticipated new DVD from Jean-Claude Van Damme, where he stars in the role he was born to play... as Jean-Claude Van Damme. JCVD is released exclusively on DVD through Revolver Entertainment on Monday 2nd February 2009 in the UK.

JCVD shows the world’s favourite action hero as you have never seen him before …living the life of an ordinary guy. Set as a parody of his life, he has no money, battling his ex-wife over custody of their daughter and then dealing with the final insult of losing a lead role in the next big film to his arch-rival, Steven Seagal – who makes the ultimate sacrifice by cutting off his pony tail.

JCVD already has a cult following after securing high praise and reviews on the International Film Circuit and being released across the world. In JCVD, the action hero uses his cult status and iconic scenes from his career history to save the day and overcome his biggest challenge.

Jean-Claude commented:”JCVD is very different to all my other films, it shows a different side to my life and my acting abilities in ways that are dramatic, realistic and humorous".

JCVD is directed by Mabrouk El Mechri and written by Frédéric Bénudis and Christophe Turpin and is available to buy on DVD from Monday 2nd February 2009.

    12.12.2008   Van Damme second in Time's Top 10 Movie Performances

At the end of the year we can conclude that 2008 was a great year for Jean-Claude van Damme. Also Time's Magazine is impressed by Van Damme. Each year Time's makes various Top 10 list of the year, and also there's a Top 10 Movie Performances. And guess what... Van Damme's second! Here is wat Time.com writes about Van Damme's movie J.C.V.D:

The Muscles from Brussels: a best actor? An actor, even? In 25 years of martial arts melodramas, he's displayed fast kicks, a surly-seraphic demeanor and an uneasy command of English. But in this low-budget French-language thriller shot in his home town, Van Damme is superb at playing himself, or, as director Mabrouk el Mechri would have it, a semi-realistic version of same: a worn-down ex-star who gets involved in a bank heist with tough guys eager to exploit his residue of celebrity. The wow moment is a six-minute take of Van Damme confessing his sins to the camera: a brave, bravura exhibition of shouting, tears, emotional scab-pulling. Is this wrenching revelation factual? Is it fake? Let's call it fake-tual, and, for now, call Jean Claude Van Damme a bold, gifted actor.

Now Van Damme, go for gold with Full Love!
