I see Jean Claude Van Damme as quite a few movies lined up, the most interesting one in my opinion is "Hell". Below is a Poster and frame shot of the film.
The plot sees Van Damme imprisoned on an island where the hardened criminals battle to the death for the wardens pleasure and are surrounded by croc-infested waters. It has cult film stamped all over it and hopefully will return him to the type of martial arts films he used to be good in.
I also see he has "Streetfighter 2", "The Tower "and "After Dead" lined up in the future. I am not sure about a sequel to "Streetfighter" though thats about as wise as a sequel to "The Postman" or "Battlefield Earth".
Below is a poster for After Dead which is described as having a premise similar to "The Six Sense".
I also see he seems to have abandoned a project called "The Monk". Does anyone know what happened this as he talked about it for a few years and was reported to be on a vegetable only diet for the role as it required him to be leaner and faster.
I happen to like Van Damme and think he gets slated to easily by people. He has made some very entertaining films in the past and is a decent enough screen martial artist. Though there definatly has been a drop in quality in his films from the mid-nineties onwards, the only decent ones I can think of have been "The Quest", "Double Team" and "Knock Off". Has anyone seen "The Replicant"? I here he actually got some critical acclaim for that one!
Peace.
