Mark Verheiden posted this little blog yesterday about an upcoming movie called JCVD. You’d probably never guess what those four letter mean in a million years, or maybe you could if you have some kind of weird ability to see initials like that and expand them to full words.
Regardless, the suspense is over: It stands for Jean-Claude Van Damme.
This is a film in the same flavor of the upcoming My Name is Bruce starring Bruce Campbell. The film is a parody about Van Damme playing himself as a broken down action star lamenting his career. The movie debuted at Cannes last weekend and will be out on June 4 in France. It’s subtitled, although there looks to be quite a few English scenes in it from the previews.
Mark’s post about this was interesting, because as he points out, this could be the best film of Van Damme’s career. He mentioned Timecop as the last good one he did, and I have to agree. I don’t remember much from that movie, but I did like it.
Here is the trailer:
What do you think? Does it look good? Funny?
Suhweet!!!
But I’m a sucker for any celeb willing to make fun of him or herself. Looks pretty funny, though a bit darker than I was expecting. I like that. I think paired with My Name is Bruce we’ll have a dark comedy and a farce of celebrity heroes acting like…well, JCVD doesn’t look very heroic, but still.
Richards last blog post..George Lucas at it again
Little unknown trivia question about the Capn. I’ve seen every movie with Jean-claude, every single one of em. From his pre-glory days, through his really bad B rated movies (and calling them B rated is a gift), to cameo’s, if he’s in it, I’ve seen it… but, who cares really. I think it would be nice to see all old stars we used to love have at least oen more shining golden movie, so I hope this does well,because lately, well, lets just say i’d rather see speed racer…
I liked Timecop and a handful of his other films, albeit a small handful. This one, I’ll skip.

He peaked in Breakin’ 2. Just sayin’.

ROTFL
I think I’ll skip this one, but I do have an idea for JCVD. He should try to get in the next Rocky or Rambo movie. It’d be huge.
