The fact that it's made by the same companies as ALTITUDE (which seems very cheap and a bore) is rather scary. You'd hope that if both JCVD and Dolph are, the script isn't too bad and pedestrian but given the sad state of the low budget action market you can't be too confident anymore... (On the other hand depending on the script this could be interesting it gives them enough to work with and emulate them)
If you look at other and bigger movie stars of the 50s, 60s, 70s who starred Oscar winning classics or successes, it's almost inevitable (with some exceptions of course) that the last part of their filmography is going down and we can be happy they aren't doing supporting roles in bad Hallmark Christmas movies or such. Remember many Hollywood superstars died broke and forgotten...
I these troubled times for financing good projects, I hope Dolph can hang on and still manage to make his pet projects (NORDIC LIGHT, WANTED MAN, WITHOUT YOU I'M NOTHING and a modern film-noir piece called COOL BURN) without too many compromises ...

(In fact, the more it goes, the more I would'nt mind Dolph being cast in Maniac Cop).
MANIAC COP does seem very quite and despite the support of Nicolas Winding Refn, I don't think Hyams actually has the trust of producers and financiers who won't see his talent and craft and who fear for their (lack of) profit...
