Action star Jean-Claude Van Damme is currently on the set of Julien Leclercq’s The Bouncer. In the meantime, he’s reportedly setting forth plans to take several projects to the Cannes market to showcase his Rodin Entertainment slate to buyers.
Per the actor’s announcement back in January, Lionheart 2 also remains on the list of titles which are now priority through 2020, including another film titled Blood And Land which will also go to Cannes. A start date is currently being set for later this year while a director and further casting and crewing details remain pending.

Van Damme is also teasing a premiere for the long-awaited Full Love in Toronto this Fall. It further adds to the current ground the actor aims toward covering in an industry rife with ideas that stay shelved more often than not.
