A Van Damme-less TIMECOP? What the hell kind of fun is that?!?
While nothing is official, it seems Universal is forging ahead with TIMECOP 2.0, a remake of the 1994 sci-fi thriller of course starring the Muscles from Brussels. Problem is, it looks like Van Damme, despite lobbying for a return, won’t be invited back to reprise his badass role of Max Walker in the remake. Seriously, why even bother then?!?
Word comes from What’s Playing, which claims:
“The studio (Universal) has been developing the pic for four years now. Uni are envisioning a big-budget science-fiction blockbuster with a major star (despite asking for a look-in, Van Damme won’t be invited back). We can expect it to be on the release calendar sometime over the next twelve to eighteen months. Will look into this more.”
Gotta say I’m torn on this one. While I love the big-screen return of full-fledged action flicks (THE EXPENDABLES), I’m not sure a flick so inexorably linked to Mr. Jean-Claude will be very good with a hapless wannabe stepping into his shoes.
