Cannes | Van Damme on Van Damme in "JCVD"
One of the more anticipated projects in the Cannes Market, "JCVD," a biopic starring Van Damme as himself.
The teaser below is a must-see, where JCVD crashes a casting-call for the film, demanding to know what the project's about:
Casting Agent: Well, it's about JCVD comin' back to Belgium to chill out... because he's not doing that well.
JVCD: What are you talking about?
Casting Agent: Well, first of all...problems with the IRS. And you just lost your son's custody...
JVCD: Hey, that's not over yet. I didn't lose. I appealed...

I like how Van Damme has taken a play straight from the boy bands. When you want to appear mature, use initials (e.g., New Kids on the Block = NKOTB). If JCVD follows this path, it will have marginal critical reception, but disappointing commercial success.
