V for Vendetta director James McTeigue is set to direct a remake of the classic 1988 Jean-Claude Van Damme action film Bloodsport. The original script for the remake was written by Taken scribe Robert Mark Kamen, and it will be rewritten by Craig Rosenberg.
According to Variety, the new film will explore the life of 21st century mercenaries as they collide with the underground world of Brazilian Vale Tudo fighting.
I loved what McTeigue did with V for Vendetta, but since then his films have been crap. Those other films are Ninja Assassin and The Raven. I hope he does something fun with this, but the fact that it's a Bloodsport remake tells me it's probably going to end up being a mediocre action film. Who knows though, maybe they'll cast some badass martial artists that will put on some epic fight sequences.
