Jean Claude Van Damme Talks THE PIT BULL
The title I have for the project is “The Pit Bull”, it can describe the way the character thinks and behaves, and the way he fights, he’s beaten and battered but he keeps going. I am gathering the right people around me to work on this film, it’s very important to me that I have people working with me who have a real passion for what they’re doing, a real love for film. I don’t want people who think of this as just another job. I want people who will give me 100% when we are working, who want the same thing as me, to make a great movie. When I was doing “JCVD”, it was a very supportive, very positive environment to work in, everyone in the cast and crew were focused on doing the best they could, that really helped me in terms of my focus and my performance, I felt so comfortable on the shoot, even when we were working hard. If we’re all on the same track, then we can achieve something wonderful.
I want this to be a full blooded martial arts film, but in addition to the action, we will have a story, there will be real drama, real characters that people can identify with. Some people might think there are some semi autobiographical references in the film, and maybe they are right. If you can put real elements into a character, real experience then you can make the characters and situations more real for the film. I really want to make movies that work on a number of levels, not just action, but action and drama combined, I want this film to stay true to the spirit of some of my earlier films”, but with heart, with substance to back up the action. I’ve been through some ups and downs in life myself, through good times and bad times, and now I can bring real life experience into a project like this. I really believe that “The Pit Bull” will be the movie that people have been wanting to see me do for a long time.
There will be more news and announcements about this movie very soon with regards to cast and crew, and I think that people will be very excited about what we’re going to be doing with “The Pit Bull”, in terms of the action, the drama, and the people involved in the film.
