I've seen the Jean-Claude van Damme movie last year and I have to say I remembered it to be better, I immediately sold it afterwards. Apparently Hollywood still sees money in these reboots, I'd rather have something original. Read full post below:
It was announced last year that the 1994 Van Damme starring film ‘Timecop‘ was getting a reboot and today it appears progress is being made on the project. For a film about time travel it sure seems to be coming together slow enough. It looks as if Universal has decided that a single writer just couldn’t do such an amazing piece of work justice, so has hired two in the writing duo Mark and Brian Gunn who are responsible for such hits as ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island’, ‘Bring It on Again’, and ’2gether’.
While I suppose everyone has to start somewhere, these two aren’t the first pair I think of when I think of a science fiction action film. To be fair, ‘Timecop’ isn’t the first thing that pops into my head with that description either so maybe they can make something work. Marc Shmuger is set to produce the film with Mike Richardson of Dark Horse set to be the executive producer.
To be fair, I do need to point out that the original film was based off of a comic book. The focus will clearly be using the source material and not the Jean-Claude, ahem, blockbuster that had already been released. The last Dark Horse film to get rebooted was ‘Dredd‘ which ended up doing quite well in fan eyes so there is always a chance.
