Van Damme vs. Seagal: The Movie?!
from Moviehole:
Personally, I find the premise to be absolutely hysterical. It may be cliched as hell, but I'm pretty sure that's the point. I would seriously pay good money to see this because it sounds like it could be 90 minutes of just mindless action and fun. If both actors were to actually sign on to this I could actually see this being relased in theaters.
The dumb comedy that could come from both guys lampooning their celluloid alter-egos makes me giggle like a six year old.
Director Mark Nippe (“Spawn”) has signed to direct the curiously-titled “Van Damme vs. Seagal”.
Alas – I’m guessing, but I think it’s pretty safe to say I’d be correct with my supposition – it won’t feature the real ‘Muscles for Brussels’ or the true Ponytailed Cook, but the film still sounds like it’ll be worth a look (cast and joke dependent, naturally).
Nippe has a background in special effects – having worked on such pics as “Back to the Future II” and “The Flintstones” – but made his directorial debut with 1994’s “Spawn”. Since then he’s directed “Pixel Perfect”, “Halloweentown High”, “Frankenfish” and the recent DTV release, “Garfield Gets Real”.
“Van Damme vs. Seagal” is a spoof comedy making fun of action heroes Van Damme and Seagal, both living in the Hollywood hills jealously trying to make each others’ life miserable – until a real nuclear threat arises and forces them to combine their action hero powers.

Agreed, if both actors were actually in the film I think this could be funny as hell and a decent kick in the ass to their careers. Otherwise this could turn out to be extremely lame.
