John Claude Van Damme Rips off Dolph!
Posted: 06 Jun 2005, 18:07Dolph's directorial debut The Defender is proving popular amonst those who have seen it, and looking at the synopsis of VD's next film it seems he wants a piece of that pie.
Jean-Claude is currently in pre-production for his upcoming film 'Second in Command,' which will begin shooting around June in Eastern Europe
In the film, Jean-Claude plays an official who's just been appointed as Second In Command to the U.S. Ambassador at an American Embassy in a small, turbulent Eastern European nation. When local insurgents attempt a coup d'etat, the nation's President takes refuge inside the embassy. The embassy is then besieged by the well-armed insurgents. The U.S. Ambassador is killed in the ensuing action, and now it's up to Jean-Claude and the embassy's small detachment of U.S. Marines to fend off the attackers.
Holy crap, it's almost identical. It own't be as good I can bet you. Same plot and also filming in Romania. I think that is embarrassing for Van Damme that his next movie is following on from Dolph;s, which thus far all who have seen it say is better than VD's Wake Of Death, and doing a film almost identical in plot. Van Damme and Seagal are supposed to be the big boys of the B movie aciton film. Sir Dolph is the new king people.
