Universal is planning on going back to the past and making a new version of 1194’s Timecop. The original follows Jean Claude Van Damme as the hero who travels through time preventing the past from being altered by villains. Two caveats; One: no traveling into the future since it hasn’t happened yet, and Two: no two copies of the same molecules can occupy the same space.
Universal is moving forward with what they’re calling a “big-budget sci-fi blockbuster” version of Timecop, according to What’s Playing. The project has been in development for over four years and Universal is looking to get this sucker on the fast track. Expect a big screen release within the next year and a half.
I love the original. Personally, I think it’s one of the most fun and entertaining movies regarding time travel. I like the idea of Universal trying to remake this one for this generation. The story is there; what they need now is a good leading man who can kick ass.
Who do you think should direct this? Who do you think should be the lead role?
