Apparently since Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme have been snubbed from Stallone's upcoming action epic The Expendables, the two are going to star on a dif. film together for the first time called Weapon. Here's a snippet from the press release:
The film will be moderately budgeted, but I'm not expecting much with Seagal's track record. I wouldn't be surprised that if it did go to theaters that it'd be a very limited release before hitting the DVD market.This film will unite two of the world’s biggest names in action and thrillers, Steve Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme, who have never appeared in a film together—until now. Moshe Diamont will also produce the film which is written by Aaron Rahsaan Thomas (Numb3rs; Friday Night Lights).
In WEAPON, JACK CONWAY (Steven Seagal) and DEREK CHASE (Jean Claude Van Damme) are the two best assassins in the world—but unknown to each other. While Conway is a master sharpshooter, Chase is equally skilled with a knife. These two rival assassins form an uneasy alliance to take down the head of a drug cartel, which is backed by the DEA.
The producers announced today that principal photography on WEAPON will commence in July 2009 on locations in and around New Mexico and Vancouver. They expect to confirm a director in the next several weeks.
