Jean-Claude Van Damme and Adam Brody to Fight to the Death in Welcome to the Jungle

By Uncle Creepy
January 17th, 2012

Jean-Claude Van Damme possesses a rare ability. The older he gets, the more badass he becomes. It doesn't matter if he's stabbing dozens of people every five seconds (thank you, Universal Soldier: Regeneration) or holding a puppy. The guy's just menacing. The good news? We're gonna see even more of him!

According to Variety, Adam Brody will be throwing down with '90s action star Jean-Claude Van Damme in a survival thriller shooting next month in Puerto Rico.

The duo will star in Rob Meltzer's Welcome to the Jungle, which follows a group of staffers at a design firm who go on an office retreat to a tropical island, where total chaos erupts after they become stranded. A "Lord of the Flies"-type situation unfolds, and Brody's character is forced to match wits with the power-hungry leader in order to rescue his co-workers.

Rob Huebel, Dennis Haysbert, and Kristen Schaal co-star. Look for more on this one as soon as we either A - learn to do one of those zany splits or B - master some of JCVD's smooth dance moves.

Design Director Matt Armstrong Talks Prototype 2
Radical Entertainment's Design Director Matt Armstrong began his career in the video game industry over 13 years ago working on the seminal classic Final Fantasy VII as a QA Tester. A few short weeks of this was enough to convince Matt that his future lay more in the creative arts, and he soon found himself working as a 3D modeler, texture artist and animator before eventually finding himself drawn into the world of game design. Since then, Matt has worked in senior design positions at Blitz Games, Rockstar Games and Radical Entertainment, culminating in his current role as Design Director for Prototype 2.
