None other than original Kickboxer star Jean-Claude Van Damme will play an updated version of the original film’s Master Chow.

Directed by John Stockwell (Cat Run), the new Kickboxer follows Eric and Kurt Sloan, descendants of a well-known Venice, California-based family of martial artists. Kurt has always been in older brother, Eric’s shadow, as he lacks the instincts needed to become a champion. But when Kurt witnesses the merciless murder of his brother at the hands of Muay Thai champion Tong Po, he vows revenge. He trains with his brother’s mentor, Xian Chow, for a Muay Thai fight to the death with Tong Po. Chow first thinks Kurt impossible to train, but through a series of spiritual exercises and tests, Chow discovers that Kurt has a deeper strength that will carry him through his final showdown with Tong Po.

Also set to star Alain Moussi (X-Men: Days of Future Past), Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) and George St. Pierre (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Kickboxer is produced by Ted Field of Radar Films, Dimitri Logthetis and Nick Celozzi. Mike Weber and Peter Meyer are executive producing.

“We are so excited to have ‘Kickboxer’ roll into production and to have JCVD in the role of Master Chow, passing the torch to Alain, to have him lead the franchise to a new generation ” said Field. “Audiences better get ready for this incredible reboot. The action is going to be non-stop with never-before seen stunts. Simply put, ‘Kickboxer’ will kick-ass!”

The remake of the 1989 cult classic, Kickboxer started production this week. The film is shooting in New Orleans, Louisiana and Thailand.

According to the film’s official Facebook page, Kickboxer is now called Kickboxer: Vengeance (most likely to differentiate the film from Albert Pyun’s upcoming Kickboxer title). Also, new details have emerged about some of the cast members: Gina Carano’s character is a “sneaky and dangerous temptress, a boa constrictor of this fighting jungle,” and JCVD’s actual character is named Master Durand (not Master Chow, as previously reported when Tony Jaa was attached).

Looks like there’s trouble with the upcoming Kickboxer remake.

Producers allegedly still haven’t paid more than 150 crew members, vendors and extras based in Louisiana despite weeks of promising to do so. An attorney for Radar Pictures, Jonathan Freund, told TheWrap that the payments were delayed, and told the Times-Picayune it was a result of a hiccup with the film’s financing.

“It’s the producer’s intent to get everybody paid as quickly as possible,” he said, adding that “all their effort will not be for naught.”

There is speculation that the schedule was strained to fit in growing action star Dave Bautista. Filming recently wrapped on the American scenes mid December, where cameras will now move to Asia where Jean Claude Van Damme will film his scenes.

Verstehe ich gerade nicht wirklich, wer spielt da jetzt was?
Batista denke ich mal Tong Po und JCVD Chow.
Aber was zur Hölle macht GSP in dem Film? Der gesamten Besetzung zeigen wie Kampfsport wirklich geht?
