[loyis7]

Release Date: TBA (To Be Announced)

A new take on "Kickboxer." The new film follows Eric and Kurt Sloan, descendants of a well-known Venice, California-based family of martial artists. Kurt has always been in older brother, Eric’s shadow, as he lacks the instincts needed to become a champion. But when Kurt witnesses the merciless murder of his brother at the hands of Muay Thai champion Tong Po, he vows revenge. He trains with his brother’s mentor, Xian Chow, for a Muay Thai fight to the death with Tong Po. Chow first thinks Kurt impossible to train, but through a series of spiritual exercises and tests, Chow discovers that Kurt has a deeper strength that will carry him through his final showdown with Tong Po. The 1989 film starred Jean-Claude Van Damme as Kurt Sloane, a man out to avenge his brother by learning the Muay Thai fighting style.

Kickboxer casts Thai supermodel Sara Malakul Lane

On the heels of word earlier this week announcing that Jean-Claude Van Damme is set to star, the upcoming Kickboxer remake has cast Thai supermodel-turned-actress Sara Malakul Lane (Sharktopus, Jailbait) as the female lead, not-so-progressively officially described as the “leading character’s love interest.”

“Sara’s beauty, charm and acting skills balance perfectly ‘Kickboxer['s]‘ testosterone and action” says Radar Films’ Ted Field. “Alain as Kurt will fall in love, as [will] everyone else.”

Gina Carano joins Kickboxer reboot

On the heels of word last week announcing that Jean-Claude Van Damme is set to star, the upcoming Kickboxer remake has added Haywire star Gina Carano to its roster of fighting and acting talent. Carano will play a fight promoter in the new take on the 1989 martial arts actioner.

“It will be fun to watch Gina as the sneaky and dangerous temptress, a boa constrictor of this fighting jungle,” says Radar Films’ Ted Field. “Watch out kickboxers!”
