"Swelter" Japanese Theatrical Poster

Jean-Claude Van Damme (Enemies Closer) is once again teaming up with Swelter director Keith Parmer for The Penrose Affair, an action thriller about a French detective in Paris. According to Variety, the upcoming film will be influenced by Alfred Hitchcock and Pierre Morel’s Taken.

This news may not excite the avid Van Damme fan, especially considering Swelter’s lukewarm reception. Cityonfire.com’s Kyle Warner had this to say about it: “Swelter may disappoint with a story full of plot contrivances and by wasting Van Damme in a throwaway role, but some fine performances and sharp dialogue manage to make the film strangely likable. It’s a B-movie, to be sure, but it’s a B-movie with some style.

Other Van Damme projects in the works include Kickboxer: Vengeance, as well as the rumored MMA-based flick, The Tower. His latest, Pound of Flesh, is scheduled to be released later this year. Stay tuned!

"Cowboy Ninja Viking" Graphic Novel Cover

Funny action man, Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy), is set to play the lead in Universal’s adaptation of A.J. Lieberman’s graphic novel, Cowboy Ninja Viking. To give you an idea of what to expect, here’s Amazon’s description to the graphic novel:

“It started with Dr. Sebastian Ghislain: rogue psychotherapist/covert op/DJ. Tasked with creating a counter-intelligence unit, he turned to those long thought useless to society… patients with Multiple Personality Disorder. These agents became known simply as Triplets. Misguided? Yeah. Impractical? Sure. But did it work? Absolutely not. Now someone has located each Triplet and created a band of ridiculously disturbed, but highly effective assassins. Our only hope? A Triplet known as Cowboy Ninja Viking!”

Updates: Variety reports (via FCS) that David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, the duo behind John Wick, are in early talks to direct Cowboy Ninja Viking (World War Z’s Marc Forster was previously attached). We’ll be sure to keep you in the loop as we hear more.
