We all know changes were made after the preview in Cannes in 2010. Let's take a look at the original story.
Details On Jean-Claude Van Damme's Romantic Drama (2009)
www.cinemablend.com/new/Details-Jean-Claude-Van-Damme-Romantic-Drama-8686.html
Here’s the surprising thing… it doesn’t seem like an action movie. Instead, Full Love is more like a heavy drama with romantic elements, in the vein of True Romance, without the clever dialogue. The pages I have take place in Thailand, and they’re the story of a man named Frenchy in love with a Turkish whore named Magdalena, whom he attempts to free from her pimp. Frenchy’s best friend is a bitter, crippled, alcoholic veteran of the Iraq war, who ends up pissed at his friend for falling in love with someone from “over there”, since he hates everyone of even vaguely Middle Eastern descent.
It’s unclear whether Jean-Claude will also act in the film. I’ve read rumors in several different places which hint that he may show up playing himself. I can’t see that working from what I’ve read in this part of the script. It doesn’t seem like that kind of film, it’s a serious, heavy drama, like something you’d see from Ridley Scott. Not the kind of movie where you’d have a celebrity as a character.

In Search of Jean-Claude Van Damme's 'Full Love', His Strange, Unreleased Passion Project
By Winston Cook-Wilson on March 29, 2016
A military veteran and former mercenary, Frenchy (Van Damme) works as a taxi driver, hiding somewhere in East Asia, haunted by his past. After his driving shifts he often frequents the Eagle’s Nest, a seedy bar that houses a caged eagle. In the midst of the chaotic Asian traffic Frenchy picks up a beautiful female passenger who will change him forever.
Driven by dark memories of his childhood, he becomes determined to improve her life and, without her approval, he embarks on a journey which proves to be more dangerous and complicated then he expected. After encountering a series of harrowing obstacles he calls in favors from his special ops friends who immediately join him. His military team engages in the biggest fight of their lives. War is hell, but nothing they’ve done could have prepared them for this.
