The Kickboxer reboot starring Alain Moussi has just added some in-ring firepower.
The Kickboxerreboot has a couple of strongmen in its corner. WWE superstar Dave "Batista" Bautista and MMA master Georges St-Pierre have signed on to the film, which will star stuntman Alain Moussi. Kickboxer, a remake of the 1989 film of the same name that helped propel Jean-Claude Van Damme to action movie nirvana, is directed by Stephen Fung with Ted Field and Radar Productions producing.
Dave Bautista can next be seen as Drax the Destroyer in Marvel's upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie. You can currently see him getting booed regularly on various WWE programming as part of the re-formed Evolution stable.
Mr. St-Pierre was most recently seen on the big screen going toe-to-toe with Captain America in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. While his role as Batroc was typical, disposable movie heavy fare, he definitely displayed some screen presence, and (of course) his fighting skills were second to none.
This sounds like it's still quite a ways off from actual production, but we'll keep an eye on it nonetheless.
