Good news! I'm moderately excited, let's analyze the info we have. The film is written and directed by Anthony Hickox who is a good filmmaker, so this is great news, but still the cast seems a little weak, they seem to be investing everything in the charisma of JC who recently appears to be in excellent physical shape. The surprise is the fact that JC is also producing the film and is a guarantee for his motivation. I think this is the first JC film to be shot in sub Saharan Africa, I think being a a Congo ambassador played a role in getting a tax cut for the production. Overall it looks like an interesting project, what I expect is a lot of Van Dammage and little blah blah blah. Welcome back on board Jean Claude I will be here to follow all the steps of this new adventure.  |

Actors currently attached to the project
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Madalina Anea
Rafael Amaya
Vernon Davis
Will Kris or Nicolas get a supporting role? being JC one of the producers I think the chances are high, I think the last time I saw Kris playing a role was in "Black Water".

Reading up so far, doesn't sound like his son is in this one.... But I would not be surprised if he made an appearance in this at some point, even if it's just a cameo appearance or something. If Van Damme is producing the movie, that is generally a given that his son will make an appearance in this even as a bad guy or something to that effect. Time will tell....

It would be interesting to know how much money they are working on, if the budget is around 3 or 4 million we can still expect the addition of a couple of names with a decent career. The plot sounds like a cross between "The Order" and "Castle Falls", I expect the last 30 minutes to be a bloody showdown between the mercenaries, the action I think will be mostly gun play with some kicking here and there. It will be important that Hickox gives a feeling of danger to the film because the biggest problem I had with "Castle Falls" was that the whole money thing wasn't exciting and it turned me off a bit.

I tend to agree with you Testudo... If this is a mercenary movie, there will be mainly guns with a few kicks and punches.... but mainly guns... Van Damme has slowed down quite a bit with his later movies regarding the martial arts. The Last Mercenary had quite a bit, but the Bouncer, We Die Young, Black Water had hardly any.... So I am not expecting much in this movie... Just hope it's good with some good action scenes, and keeps me interested right till the end.

I really liked The Bouncer, and The Last Mercenary.... I wasn't a huge fan of We Die Young and Black Water.... Just depends what approach this movie goes..... I am excited none the less, it's been a while since we have got a new Van Damme movie.

It's too bad that JCVD hasn't mentioned this movie anywhere. Anyway would be great if this would happen, but you never know. I would prefer if he did What's My Name first, but if that movie is having problems it's nice to know that there are two more movies he is working on. deadline.com/2022/10/jean-claude-van-damme-vernon-davis-rafael-amaya-movie-silent-kill-afm-1235158969/Story: Four mercenaries find a hidden treasure in the Congo. They bury it and agree to meet back at the same spot in three years and split the fortune evenly, but things take a different turn. Iervolino said: “One of the all-time great action stars, Jean-Claude Van Damme has cultivated a worldwide fanbase that will absolutely love this adrenaline-fueled movie that starts fast and never takes it’s foot off the gas pedal. Its Van Damme doing what everyone loves watching him do.” Principal photography is due to commence in early Q1, 2023. Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme NFL star-turned-actor Vernon Davis (Gasoline Alley) Rafael Amaya (The Lord of Skies) Madalina Anea (Watcher) Screenplay by: Anthony Hickox (Hellraiser III) Director: Anthony Hickox (Hellraiser III) Producers: Van Damme and Joram Moreka Executive producers are Andrea Iervolino, Monika Bacardi, Ovidiu Toma and Bradly Gentz. Iervolino & Lady Bacardi Entertainment will be introducing Silent Kill to buyers at this week’s American Film Market.

Any news on when Silent Kill going to come out? It still on Van Damme IMDb site. It's probably cancelled. Some projects get a little general setup to be offered to the markets in hopes of getting funding. This project simply didn't get any producer interested. |

being JC one of the producers I think the chances are high, Also, a little update, seems like JCVD is not a producer anymore (as listed on IMDb), so most likely this project is cancelled in favor for KILL 'EM ALL 2. |
