Rumor: New Chinese Pirates movie?

Maybe Testudo86 can check the translation (to make a bad end??):

The actor Massimiliano (Max) Zago is going back to China to set foot on the set of two locally produced films, in which he will once again play the role of villain. He has become popular in the last three years thanks to his tough looks and powerful size. He will play alongside Belgian actor Jean-Claude Van Damme in a film under development in Sanja island, south of Hong Kong.

It is a Chinese film, "Pirates of the Caribbean" style, in which the 49 year old will play the role of the evil pirate, Van Damme antagonist, to make a bad end.

The article says that he has been hired for 2 films in China as the villain, one in Hong Kong with JC, he says that he's already moving to the sets right now and that he has declined a Rai production because of that.

Honestly I don't know what to think because he isn't saying "I will do" but "I'm going to do it right now".

"Sono stato ingaggiato in settimana – racconta – attraverso il mio manager in Cina e ho dovuto fare in fretta le valige per non perdere queste importanti occasioni: partirò domani per Hong Kong" means "I was hired this week - he says - through my managers in China and I had to hurry the bags to avoid losing these important occasions: flying tomorrow for Hong Kong"

So unless he is on something, probably there's something happening. But isn't JC in prep for "Van Johnson" ? Can also be that a Chinese producer promised to him some role against JCVD that it's still unsure to happening.

I did a little research and didn't found anything. The thing sounds like the Belgian articles saying JC is doing this and that and then nothing happens. It's not rare actors are being "trolled" by producers. I'll checking the net for more news.

Max Zago is in China right now (since yesterday), I guess we will find out soon if JCVD is involved or not.

I don't know, but the first time he was spotted in Belgium was February 25 or 26 and last time was March 7. His mother says he usually visits 3-4 days so my guess is that we will leave soon or that he has already left Belgium.

Fist time February 25 or 26: kmoinfo.typepad.com/knokkeheist/2017/02/afgelopen-weekend-kwam-jean-claude-vandamme-nog-eens-naar-knokke-heist-en-bezocht-hij-het-vernieuwderestaurant-c%C3%A9dric-in-de.html

Last time March 7: jcvdfans.boards.net/thread/153/jcvd-international-ambassador-gaia-march

The article says he had a small role in a Jackie Chan movie and that seems to be true:

Anyway I'm happy if it's happening for real, always wanted to see JC in a Chinese production as the lead, an Italian villain is cool news for me, he kinda look like Stone Cold Steve Austin lol . JC's film schedule is insane these days, so everything can happen.
