UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: REGENERATION (John Hyams, 2009)

[Warchild]

I still don't understand is why didn't they go with the first US1 uniforms, i mean isn't it alot cheaper because they already own the god damm uniforms, i don't think they dumped all the uniforms in the garbage bin, i mean give me a break, someone must have them stored somewhere, Just the uniforms would have created alot more buzz and the eye piece, but they keep getting these uniforms like you said Jox, it seems they are going backwards.

Don't forget US was created by Carolco which went spectacularly bankrupt a couple of years later. All sorts of properties would have been auctioned off to the highest bidder - so intellectual rights would have gone to one lot of people, scripts to another and props almost certainly sold off to other film companies. It might simply be too hard and too expensive to get all the rights and props back.

But having said that, they don't seem to have been very imaginative this time round.

BTW. Is it just me who imagines Jox in some huge underground lair surrounded by monitors all scanning for the latest Big D news and ready to post???

I guess that makes more sense, but still i don't think they even tried to get them or even tried to create a different eye piece or the thermo wrist band, they took the short cut as always.

Don´t anger him, you fool! He's trained an army of evil monkeys to do his bidding. He´s depleting uranium in his bathroom, equpping each monkey with a nuclear machete! The Great Eye (Jox) sees all!



P.S. I got totally pumped thinking about "nuclear machetes"! How awesome would that be?!

Did you pitch that idea to Rodriguez yet?

You also have Universal Soldiers: The Next Generation as well, so how has that work been going?

Dolph Lundgren: Well, I did a small cameo. John Hyams is the director and he's a pretty good writer. That's a really violent movie. It's a very hardcore violent movie. They have a lot of MMA guys in it, we break a few skulls. It was fun to work with (Jean-Claude) Van Damme again and with John Hyams. I haven't seen much of the film, because I only worked on it for two weeks, but I'm sure it's going to turn out good.

Two weeks????? That's quite a bit longer than the five days touted so far. Sounds like the role could be bigger than just a cameo at the beginning and the end, like it's being assumed.

[Jox]

He was there for two weeks (arrived one week prior to shooting, way before JCVD) but they actually filmed for 5 days...

Umm, all we have seen so far is UNISOLs in various states of disarray - so, possibly closer to the end of the film. Don't forget, in the first film, as the soldiers became self aware, they ditched the headsets that were used to CONTROL THEM!!!! Secondly, the wristband conceit was dropped for UNISOL 2, I believe. Thirdly, the uniforms changed from movie to movie. In the first one, they were desert camos, reflecting their environment. In the second, they had an almost SWAT look, and in my opinion, weak. I quite like this one. Reflects the urban battlefield eastern Europe setting very well, IMHO. Wear UNISOL browns, you're getting a rocket launcer up your arse in two seconds flat.

Van Damme saw a cut of the last 20 mins and told his pal Sheldon Lettich it looks great.

New official still up on Van Dammes facebook page.

New official still up on Van Dammes facebook page.

Apparently it came up first on Kristopher Van Varenberg's (JCVD's son) IMDB page first that's why (this facebook isn't official by the way)

Fantastic picture this means we see Dolph at the begining of the movie or middle in a lab getting created or analyzed and not just in the end fighting JC, i hope we see more of Dolph through out the movie
