Scott Adkins fills Van Damme’s shoes for ‘Hard Target 2’! Posted: 02 Nov 2015 12:40 AM PST "Hard Target" Japanese Theatrical Poster A Jean-Claude Van Damme-less sequel to 1993's Hard Target is supposedly in the works by filmmaker Roel Reiné (Death Race 2-3). John Woo (The Killer), the legendary Hong Kong action director of the original, is set to return as the sequel's producer. Martial arts star Scott Adkins (Zero Tolerance, Wolf Warrior) will fill in Van Damme’s shoes for Hard Target 2. Vinnie Jones (Midnight Meat Train) is also attached to appear. An on-set photo has emerged of Scott (in Thailand) rehearsing for the project with Master Seng of the famous Seng Stunt Team, a group that specializes in vehicular stunts. Their resume includes action pieces in Tomorrow Never Dies and Ong-Bak. Filming for Hard Target 2 started in October. The sequel will continue "the human hunt” in the jungles between Burma and Thailand. “What an honor to work for one of your idols. Hard Target 2 should be an ode to the old films John Woo made in Hong Kong," said Reiné (via Manly Movie). Other Adkins films on the radar include Boyka: Undisputed IV, Criminal, Eliminators and Jar Head 3. His latest film, Close Range, hits Blu-ray and DVD in January. Stay tuned!
