Jean Claude van Damme hasn't really been lacking in attention here at Twitch lately. That is all due to his eyecatching performance in mock-biopic-cum-hostage-thriller "JCVD" of course, but only time will tell if he will be able to fully cash in on his current newfound arthouse credibility.

Jean Claude at least used his current momentum to direct his next movie "The Eagle's Path" himself, but it's never safe to put all your eggs into one basket so he's been shopping around for interesting projects.
His choices so far seem intriguing, especially if you believe the rumors of what he turned down already, but he wants to show his fan base (old and new) that he is able to do more genres than he has been getting credit for so far.

In his own words:

"This summer I will make a new movie with a famous director called 'Weapon'. After that I will make a horror movie called 'The Breed'. Its a great story, great script with true emotion. I want to show the fans I am transferable. I wanted to make a horror movie a few years back but the script was weak and had no direction.

Breed is different, it's set in a village where strange things happen... You know what? Let the movie speak for itself!"

We don't know where his proposed fighting flick "The Pit Bull" will fit in this schedule, but he sure seems busy these days!

This could go each and either way, but credit where credit is due: with "JCVD" Jean Claude showed he is not afraid of taking chances, and that these sometimes do pay off.
Let's wait and see...
