Don't you mean a "pic", "still", or "shot"? Because there sure as hell is no clip in your post.

S'okay. It's still an awesome pic of Dolph "Patton" Lundgren.

Oh shit this looks great!

In a world without government, surviving UniSols (Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren) must battle anarchy and build a new order ruled by UniSols, weeding out the weak and testing their strongest warriors in brutal, life-and-death combat.

So Van Damme is the villain in this one, as I'd guessed. Awesome.

Great to see Scott Adkins as the lead. Especially since this is likely to get a theatrical release.

Can't wait.

The last one was the best dtv action movie ever made.

Though Dragon Eyes was awful, I will give Hyams a pass bc of Le and budget.

The trailer worried me until the last part. Loved that scene where Lundgren begins firing AK-47 at Adkin's face. It got good from there on.

odd how they didn't mention 3D for this. It was filmed in it. And I would actually like to see wtf an action movie in 3D is like.

Hyams just said it'd have extra depth and no pop out gimmicks. Honestly, the photography in the trailer was the least interesting part. It looks well shot but nothing that makes me go "wow".

That's what I thought as well. Nothing that I saw where 3D would be an added positive to it. I really really like what he said in what was quoted here previously..but don't see it in the footage there.

Interestingly enough, there's a brief shot of Van Damme with hair in that trailer. Makes me wonder if bald Luc Deveraux is actually a clone of the Luc Deveraux we saw previously. Then again, the Luc Deveraux of Universal Soldier: Regeneration didn't seem at all like the Luc Deveraux from Universal Soldier (Universal Soldier: The Return is no longer canon, right?). Based on Hyam's comments that this is not the end of Luc Deveraux's story makes me wonder what exactly is going on in this movie.

Going into this confused is probably for the best. Should be a fun ride.

There has to be some level of cloning going on. I mean, how does Andrew Scott look completely healed from what happened during the last movie????

The last Andrew Scott was a clone and the ending of the last movie showed a bunch of clones of Capt. Kevin Burke (sadly, Mike Pyle did not return for this movie), so a clone of Luc Deveraux being the bad guy in this one seems to make sense. However, the plot summary over at Beyond Hollywood seems to imply that opening scene of Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning and John's (Scott Adkins) entire quest for revenge may all be the result of an implanted memory.

Would make for an interesting twist ending to see Colonel Jean-Claude Van Kurtz kill Scott Adkins at the end (if not recruit him to his cause).

we've got to spoiler everything now don't we? *sigh*

Guess what? Van Damme MIGHT kick Lundgren's ass in this. MIGHT. I dunno..it tends to happen in these UniSol films.
