To follow up the critical success of JCVD - one of my personal favorites from the past year - Jean Claude Van Damme has been hard at work on his directorial effort Full Love. We brought you the first stills from the film all the way back in October and with word that the film has completed editing and undergone a name change - it is now known as The Eagle Path - a new block of stills have appeared online.
JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME fresh off the critical acclaim he received for "J.C.V.D", now is directing, writing, producing and starring in "THE EAGLE PATH" AKA "FULL LOVE". In the film he portrays "Frenchy", an emotionally lost Ex-GI turned taxi driver somewhere in South-East Asia where he crosses paths with "Sofia", played by Spanish actress (CLAUDIA BASSOLS), a woman whose mysterious life mesmerizes him drawing him into a world where he must protect her from an unhealthy relationship with high class and vicious business owner "Soli", (ADAM KARST), and maybe even herself. With the help of his Best friend, "Bobby Jackson" (JOSEF CANNON) the alcoholic, paraplegic former Military specialist. They set out on a path together, "THE EAGLE PATH" that could free them all from the self imposed prison they each find themselves in.

I just hope that he isn't that strapped for cash these days to fall back in to the straight to video crap he's been doing for the last few years.
What S said.
I bet "Bobby Jackson" dies.
And seriously, for all his moaning in JCVD about not being able to make films that make a concrete difference, this plot synopsis does NOT sound anything like a break from his usual stuff. Granted, JCVD ended with him begrudgingly accepting that he can't be that kind of star but it did so in such a tepid way that you'd think he'd at least give it a go after JCVD's minor success, right?
the description "somewhere in South-East Asia" is rather vague. Any world citizen knows that Taxi Meter taxis can be found in Bangkok.
I don't see why could you get excited about this, considering Van Damme's track record as a writer/director (the quest) i wouldn't be excited at all about this.
Sounds suspiciously like Singapore's 'Perth', with Lim Kay Tong. A thinly veiled remake, or rip off?
One can surely expect interesting Stuff, since it's a "personal" Project.
