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.
