Van-Damme Will NOT Be Involved In ‘Bloodsport’ Remake

by Derek Kraneveldt

Well this is bound to upset Van Damme fans everywhere (sorry Jonathan).

Robert Mark Kamen wrote the screenplay for the now-in-theatres Taken 2 (listen to what Jonathan thought of it here). Kamen is of course doing his publicity rounds, and while talking to CraveOnline, the topic of Bloodsport came up (Kamen is set to pen the remake). Here’s what Kamen had to say on the thought of Van Damme appearing in the film:

With the new Bloodsport, Van Damme said he wanted to play the coach and the producers weren’t interested. What do you think? Wouldn’t it be awesome to have Van Damme in the new Bloodsport?

This film resembles the original in title only. It has nothing to do with any Kumite contest. It has nothing to do with Frank Dux. If the title was not the same, you would not associate the two films. To use JCVD would make no sense because the association would be lost as the story has nothing to do with the first one. If anything it would be a distraction.

So it’s a Bloodsport remake that has nothing to do with Bloodsport. Excited?

Jean-Claude Van Damme Reveals Script For Sequel To ‘Double Impact’ Is Written!

by Shawn Madden

Let’s keep it real. You can NEVER have enough Jean-Claude Van Damme movies. Especially not ones where you get JCVD playing not only one of the the lead roles but two. Double Impact is definitely one of Jean-Claude’s best films and it looks like we may just get a sequel. When talking to Next Movie the actor revealed that a script for a sequel has been written.

“I wrote the script with a friend of mine Sheldon – He [co-wrote] “Bloodsport” and “Double Impact” with me,” he told us. “Hopefully, somebody smart enough, like an agent or a producer, can put that back together…I’m excited about it, you know?”

JCVD also expressed the lack of having any franchises in his career.

“I have no franchise. I lost ‘Bloodsport,’ ‘Lionheart. Double Impact’ [would be] a great franchise. Today, Chad would be like the guy in ‘JCVD’ and Alex would be the guy like ‘The Expendables.'”

“I came up with a great story set in Los Angeles. [Chad] is a producer, making pictures with a big house behind him. Alex is gonna go on vacation and has some problems with the Triads. Why?  Because Chad went to Hong Kong and to get some loan money using [Alex’s] face, all of that bulls**t. And Alex comes [to Los Angeles] to see Chad and he’s full of s**t, has a girl pregnant, and she’s the sister of the big boss from South Central. It’s like ‘Double Impact’ in Los Angeles.”

I mean he does have the Universal Solider franchise but we really don’t need another one of those. I am on board for this one though. Let us feel the impact once again damn it! More black silk underwear!
