Looks like Bianca Bree Van Damme is following the footsteps (or should we say “feet”) of her father, Jean-Claude Van Damme (Pound of Flesh). A martial arts movie titled Kickbox is currently in pre-production. Bree will star alongside “rising martial arts star” Alex Wraith (No Tears for the Dead, Killer Feet) who will also be directing the film.

According to producer Nathan McCoy (The Mojo Boys), Kickbox will be predominantly shot in Bangkok, Thailand with the bulk of the crew and actors coming from that region.

Bree, who has been practicing karate and kickboxing since her childhood, has co-starred with her father in number of films, including Assassination Games, 6 Bullets, Welcome to the Jungle and the yet-to-be released, Full Love (aka Soldiers).

If you want a little taste of what she’s capable of, check out her fight reel, which also features Kickbox co-star/director, Wraith. We’ll keep you updated on this project as we hear more!

The shrinking budget for complex computer-effects has allowed many Japanese filmmakers to bring the world of anime, with its gravity-defying heroes and city-destroying battles, into the realm of live-action. Successful adaptations of the Death Note and Gantz series have helped pave the way in recent years, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down.

In fact, director Shinji Higuchi – known primarily for his special effects work on the 90′s Gamera trilogy – is preparing to bring Attack on Titan to the big screen in a two-part saga, the first of which releases next year. The series Attack on Titan takes place in a strange, quasi-medieval world in which giant humanoid creatures named Titans appear and threaten the lives of everyday people.

Civilization’s only line of defense of the Titans are teenage soldiers who traverse the Titans’ massive bodies using powerful grappling hooks. The first season of the popular show is currently streaming on Netflix.

In preparation of the film’s release next year, the producers have released several character posters (click here). | First footage from the live-action film. | 1st teaser trailer. | 2nd teaser trailer.
