JackFetch Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Jean-Claude Van Damme has confirmed to totalfilm.com that he is working on Bloodsport 2, a true sequel to his first hit movie. “You know, like, we’re gonna do Bloodsport 2," he told us in a recent interview. "Which was my first movie. And I want to do it now in a very mature way, where the guy from Bloodsport is a complete bum, maybe abusing his son." The original Bloodsport spawned three follow-ups, but Jean-Claude was connected to none of them. Studio Hesitant Despite the recent success of latest movie JCVD, Van Damme is encountering some resistance from the studio. “They told me, ‘No, no, no! You cannot make a movie in America where a father is abusing his son physically! It’s wrong." “And you cannot be a guy on drugs doing karate and shit like that.’ I said, ’Why? Why? Tell me why.’ "It’s against the rules of success. But I believe the other rules of success. To show something real.” Keep an eye on totalfilm.com for more from Van Damme, including his thoughts on drug addiction, why he turned down Stallone's Expendables and the help tape he's looking to create. http://www.totalfilm.com/news/van-damme-is...S&attr=news Why would he want Frank Dux, the hero of the first movie beating his son and doing drugs? I would never watch Bloodsport again knowing how he turned out. I love Bloodsport. Don't make me stop loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thats awesome. To take a bona-fides 80's action hero and show their decline, not just in standing but in morals, thats brilliant. Not all men can be great heroes, lets see a truly flawed man who you don't have to cheer to be interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I am fucking STOKED!!! for this. Bloodsport is one of my all-time favorite martial arts movies. I can't wait to see JCVD and it appears he sees the marketability in portraying a washed-up martial artists whether it is himself or his former heroic roles. Brilliant, I say. Bring it on! Ku-matay! Ku-matay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
