Jean Claude Van-Damme may not be the star he used to be (and is now making strange beer adverts), but he’s still a name to conjure with, which is presumably why the makers of the British sci-fi flick UFO went after him to star in their movie.
According to THR, Bianca Bree, Sean Brosnan (son of Pierce), Simon Phillips, Andrew Shimm and Richard E. Grant (who also wrote the screenplay) are also set star in the tale of five friends who wake up on a seemingly normal morning to find the power’s out, there’s no mobile phone reception and the radio can tune nothing but static. Two nights later with little more information a city-sized UFO appears above the town as tension and fear of attack grips the five. It isn’t known quite how JCVD fits into this, but hopefully he’ll be kicking some ass!
Dominic Burns will direct, with production starting this week.
