TIMECOP getting the Remake Treatment
Universal Picture has decided to take the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme sci-fi action film Timecop and remake it. Why? I guess they thought they could do a better job this time around, and you know what? They're probably right.
Look, I enjoyed Timecop just as much as the next guy, but let's face it, the movie was far from perfect. I can see someone actually turning it into a better film. I know it's one of Van Damme's best and most successful movies, but it's not one of my favorites. It's just kind of ridiculous that Universal has resorted to remaking this film. I don't know how it can be any better than the Total Recall remake, and that movie bombed.
The original film was based on a story published by Dark Horse Comics, and it's set in the near future "where time travel is regulated by a police force, and one officer (Van Damme) runs afoul a crooked politician using time travel to further his political career."
The studio is currently looking at writers to take it on. Van Damme is not involved with the production.
What do you all think about TIMECOP getting remade?
