Those who choose to peruse the direct-to-video racks knew this was coming: Production Weekly announces that Wesley Snipes and Jean-Claude Van Damme are about to pair up for an action flick called "The Hard Corps."
Production Weekly says that in "The Hard Corps," Van Damme will be playing battle-hardened combat veteran Patrick Sauvage, who has just spent the last three years fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Sauvage is hired to be a bodyguard to a former World Heavyweight Boxing champion. The boxer has run afoul of a dangerous Rap Music Mogul, and because of that he needs some serious protection. Van Damme is tasked with assembling a team of combat vets – "The Hard Corps" – to guard the boxer and his family. But interpersonal complications arise when the boxer suspects that his sister may be falling in love with his new bodyguard.
Production is scheduled to start early next month in British Columbia, before moving to Romania."
"The Hard Corps" will be written and directed by Sheldon Lettich, best known for his work on "Rambo 3," "Double Impact," and "Legionnaire."
