Jean Claude Van Damme Reviews, Interviews & More
Because, frankly, what the world of cinema (and the world in general) needs now more than anything else is reboots of Jean-Claude Van Damme time-travel vehicles from the 1990s, the former action star’s Timecop is now getting a reboot. Yes, Timecop, the film in which you could tell past and future Van Damme’s apart by the length of his mullet, and for...
With Thanksgiving this Thursday, there’s a paucity of new releases, partly because sales are going to be all about the discounts and deals that come with Black Friday. So there’s one new movie that’s actually pretty entertaining (The Expendables 2), one of the most famous bombs in the history of cinema, and a box set featuring most of the films of one of...
This week isn’t great for new releases, unless you’re a Tim Burton apologist, but it does have a classic Disney film, one of the best films of the last twenty years, and some great and not so great ghoulish delights. It must be October…
The roster of talent involved with the Expendables movies means that - even if the first picture was pretty terrible - there's a thrill that comes with the sequel. And it seems like The Expendables 2 knows the problems the first film had and decided that the best way to deliver a sequel is just make it a greatest hits of action icons doing...
Today, Sylvester Stallone returned to Comic-Con, and brought his action hero buddies with him. The Expendables 2 panel, which took place at the legendary Hall H, opened with a trailer, which ScreenCrush's Jordan Hoffman best described as a "roll call of action cinema's greatest heroes intercut with images of explosions and fisticuffs."
How do you screw up the excitement for the cheesy goodness that is The Expendables 2? I mean, you’ve got an action film starring Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Dolph Lundgren, and Jason Statham—it’s going to be big, stupid fun, right? So how do you knock the goodwill for the film down a peg? You release a...
Brace yourselves, folks—you are about to witness the most testosterone-heavy 60 second clip you have ever, or likely will ever, witness. Seriously, this thing is the visual equivalent of eating a pound of raw meat, going to the gym for an hour, and then challenging a stranger to a bloody streetfight. Also, like those things, it’s kind of really dumb (but in a fun way). What am I...
Despite the fact that this is a movie franchise based upon a film in which Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren starred as Vietnam-era soldiers who were killed and then turned into cyborgs who punch and kick each other a lot (I know, I know, it sounds like it should be cool, but it isn’t) Universal Soldier is somehow getting a...
Jean Claude Van Damme is on a roll. First he landed a voice gig in DreamWorks upcoming sequel Kung Fu Panda 2, then he got picked up for a part in James Bobin The Muppets movie, and now Joel Silver has tapped him for a role in his latest martial arts flick, Dragon Eyes. The eighties action star has been on a solid...
The Muppets cast continues to grow at an alarming rate with this latest bunch of actors. Over the past week we've heard that nine actors have come on board for various supporting roles and now three more have signed on. According to THR, Billy Crystal, Oscar winner Alan Arkin, and Jean Claude Van Damme (yes, him too!) have joined the cast of the film. There's also...
***Update: Jean-Claude Van Damme's website denies the reports that he had a heart attack. If anyone can clarify please leave us a comment or e-mail in to tips@screencrave.com***
Legendary action star Jean-Claude Van Damme has had a set back. According to several reports, the Belgian actor recently suffered a heart attack while on the set of his new movie...
The cast for DreamWorks' sequel Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom continues to grow as three new actors have joined film. This past weekend we learned that Gary Oldman signed on to play Lord Shen (a peacock), and today it's been announced that Michelle Yeoh, Victor Garber, and Jean Claude-Van Damme will join him!
Jean Claude Van Damme was too good to appear in Sylvester Stallone's upcoming action flick, The Expendables yet he's content with starring in another sequel in the long running Universal Solider series. The actor along with Dolph Lundgren will reunite for a fourth installment that's expected to be shot this fall in 3D (face palms).
What decade am I in? I feel like I just took a step 20 years into the past. Our favorite Belgian Jean-Claude Van Damme is starring in an upcoming action film entitled, The Eagle Path. I know it sounds deep, and the recently released trailer for it makes sure it looks as melodramatic as possible. Van Damme stars as Frenchy (yeah, I know) a taxi driver...
As I'm sure you already know, the Sylvester Stallone action flick The Expendables has become my own personal obsession. The film has an unbelievable cast, attached to a badass eighties action story. With Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, and Dolph Lundgren signed on to star, I had one major question, where's Jean Claude Van Damme?...
