Nice to read JC saying he loved to work with Hong Kong directors but these guys are a bit hard to get on a project these days because Woo is making a 30 million budget film "Manhunt" and Hark is in prep for "Detective Dee 3", just Ringo Lam would be available but I remember that he declined "Wake of Death" back in 2004 and we all know what kind of good project it turned out to be.
I see more realistic working working with Dante Lam, he kinda like Ringo Lam, a master of thrillers or working with Wilson Yip, the real man behind the Ip Man films success, he has recently filmed "Paradox" with Louis Koo that is consolidating his career, I think that if JC calls he will consider a JCVD project, just hope JC's agent is smart enough to take contacts and try it.
Lionheart 2 may happens but I think The Quest 2 is still connected with The Eagle Path, JC hope the final release of TEP will be successful and that people will ask him to direct a third film and he probably think it will be The Quest 2.

Q2: Do you have any advice and tips on being nervous and how to overcome it?
JC: I like to do yoga to relax myself. I also try to be as prepared as I can be and just be truthful to my characters.
Q3: If you could have personally witnessed anything or met anyone in history, what or who would it be?
JC: I would love to have met Walt Disney. Id' love to talk to him about all the animals and all the wonderful ideas he had.
Q4: Apart from your film work, is there anything else you use as inspiration to help keep up high levels of fitness?
I stay strong and fit to keep me focussed on my goal with the foundation we are building, so I can travel to help the animals where and when I can.

September/October
Q1: What is your best childhood memory?
JC: Running with my dog for hours in the fields when I stayed with my grandma on the farm.
Q2: What is your favourite animal?
JC: That's very hard to answer! It's like asking me what's your favourite music?! I'm so sorry but I love them all.
Q3: Do you remember what your first karate lesson was like and how you felt?
JC: It was a very hot summer and I was the only child of 9/10 years old, which in 1969 was kind of unheard of for a child to take martial arts lessons. It's not like playing tennis, this was a combat sport with lots of strong guys from all over. My father sent me so I could learn good discipline and to be able to defend myself from bullies. My teacher reassured my father that I would be ok and not to worry as he took me by the hand. At the time we didn't know that he was crazy in the sense of his unusual training method and I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it. I did my best and suddenly a whole life story started from there.
Q4: What was the best advise you gave to your children?
Go to the gym at least three times a week to give you good health and structure. Make a goal for yourself, go for it and try your best.
Q5: What skill would you like to learn?
JC: To be able to increase my connectivity intuition and communicate on a fast and safe way.

Q5: How did you find the experience of making JCVJ over the process of making movies? JC: The Experience was very different as I split myself over many characters and gave my all to each of them. When I was finished I was very tired mentally.

Judging by the way JC talks about Van Johnson I think season 2 is almost certain, at least regarding JC intentions.

Interesting answer. So, I guess he talks about The Bouncer, but it already has a director. And seems like that he has more unannounced movies/projects coming up.

I find his answer confusing. He say I have a line-up of movies coming out which literally means they are already shot and waiting for a release date, but he says he might be directing one of those, which suggests that he has a lot of offers on the table and he might direct one of those new movies.
So what does he mean? Did he co-direct any of the movies that were already shot or does he have a lot of offers on the table and he might direct one of those offers?

It means that he has some projects in pre-production status and would like to direct one of them.
