Its funny that JCVD easily turned down a role in The Expendables whereas this actor wants to be part of the Expendables for Sly

He has acting chops and is a new face, Sly should really get on this kid! Bring in a new face cause, well lets face it, The Expendables is great but all these guys are passed their prime. Even Austin, he’s nearing 50! Couture is almost there, you can see the age on Dolph! It will be great seeing the heroes back in action but we need some new blood!
And Jet Li, even though he looks young, he is nearing 50 as well! I would say he is mid-50!

Check out this kid, he is really good! We should back him up!

@ Paul Young, you totally should! Ha!

That being said, I do think Van Damme might do well in the horror genre. Though it would be somewhat amusing to see him try to act “scared.”

Agreed Kofi, that was a silly move on JCVD’s part. Maybe he’s tired of being pigeonholed into action movies.

I’m not a big fan of horror, so I won’t be seeing this film. But if he makes another Bloodsport type flick, I will SO be there.

@ogb

Yeah, I appreciate JCVD trying to “reinvent” himself, put turning down a role in The Expendables was a mistake. Even Dolph L. knew to jump onboard that film!

Sigh…I have a bad feeling about THE BREED…Against the Dark was a horrible movie. I don’t know why Seagal is still around.

I do have way more respect for JVCD just because he’s actually trying with his movie career and staying in shape.

Why oh why did he turn down a role in Expandables?

No doubt this sounds interesting… but the problem is, I’d rather have him do the KARATE movie he promised us.

In case you guys haven’t heard of it..

I’m not sure why but I really want to see JCVD suceed. Maybe it’s because I grew up watching the man but I’m behind him with support on this one.

One word of advice Jean Claude…never ever EVER use the phrase “weak and no direction” to describe the reason on why you turned down a film or I will personally post and review every crappy ass film you made in the past 20 years starting Double Take!

Hey, you all do know that JCVD and Dolph are together again in another Universal Soldier movie right?

This, didn`t he kinda make a horror DTV film? Something about cults? Kickboxer and Bloodsport still rules man!

Van Damme is making a slow comeback, but it is good to know he’s still kicking butt.
