Plot of JC's Next Film
Here is what I've got, Kasey!
I downloaded the PDF too and they speak about the JCVD movie (it's "self
titled"...): he is tired of the
financial problems, the problems with his wife for the custody of his son (probably Darcy...),
the fact
Steven Seagal took one of his roles. Tired of USA, he comes to Belgium for a rest!
He stops at a shop to buy something for his family,
but his credit cards
are refused. He also receives a
phone call from his lawyer, who tells he won't take
part in the process for custody
if he doesn't pay in a timely manner!
Van Damme then calls his agent and asks for some money before his next
movie! His agent redirects him to a post-office where he should get some money via Western Union! There he is cought under
gunfire...
So, here is the next plot of JC's movie!
Here in Original French:

"Van Damage" is set to start shooting Sept. 15
Jean-Claude Van Damme will flex his famous "muscles from Brussels"
for Gallic production, distribution and international sales company Gaumont. The first French-language film for the Belgian-born
action superstar, "Van Damage" is set to start shooting Sept. 15. Mabrouk El Mechri, director of 2005's "Virgil" featuring
the late Jean-Pierre Cassel, is on board to helm the tale of a failing action star who gets mixed up in a real bank robbery
in Hollywood. Exec producer Marc Fiszman of Bankable Films is hoping for a success along the lines of his 2006 release "Jean-Philippe,"
which attracted more than 1.3 million spectators in France. A U.S. remake of the film directed by Laurent Tuel is in the works.
Gaumont has a teaser available at the market and is hoping to attract buzz for the project.

of the biggest names in mixed martial arts in the story of a young champion who helps a has-been return to former

like a rework of Kumite to anyone besides me?)

Championships in August-September (to try to clinch his 4th

Crocop, Jerome Le Banner, Fedor Emelianenko,

Van Damme says that he watches MMA, but he heard about Mirko
from his father, who watched one of Pride shows, and before
Mirko's fight there was a short movie about Mirko. After
watching it, Van Damme's father told him: "there is one great
fighter who wears checkered shorts and as a teenager had your
poster in his room". Van Damme says that he felt satisfaction
in fact that one Pride champion found inspiration in his movies
for all that Spartan work. So he decided to call Mirko.
Van Damme
says that he wants to make a movie about mixed
martial arts, and that Crocop would have a role in this movie.
Besides Crocop, Van Damme wants Jerome Le Banner, Fedor
Emelianenko and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in that movie. Van Damme says
that this movie would be for mixed martial arts what " Raging Bull" (with Robert De Niro) was for boxing.
In rest of the
interview, Van Damme says that he trains more
now, cause he doesn't want to embarass himself in front of
Crocop. He is also joking that he plans to stay for 7 days at
Crocop's home, but there is possibility that it will last
shorter, if he doesn't meet Crocop's expectations
They ask him about
Sylvester Stallone, and he compares their
relationship to Crocop and Fedor. He says they are rivals, so
they can't be friends. But he also says that he hopes Crocop
and Fedor will become friends, if they agree to shoot a movie
together
