I'm guessing Van Damme is looking for a deal where he gets a decent amount of the investment back (since he funded a lot of the movie, and it has gone through 3 versions already) and a theatrical/wider release because there's a message in it, he wants to send to everyone (at least the first cut did since he talked about this specifically a few times in Behind Closed Doors). Although it's been a while since I've seen the trailer(s) I do remember them all looking quite rough around the edges (some reviews that have come out confirmed that as well), the film is more focussed on a message instead of the action material Van Damme is usually known for, and it's way over a decade old now. Taking all this in consideration, it just doesn't seem like a good deal/investment for possible buyers on film markets, which is probably while it still hasn't been picked up... I know I'm coming off rather negative, but I still really would like to see this film and especially all versions (although I doubt that will ever happen). I don't think you are being negative, it was definitely true he wanted to make sure this movie got the right attention, but he has also said that he does not want a theatrical release anymore. He wants to release it on a platform like Netfix, Canal+ or Disney. "You can stay home and enjoy Frenchy." I've posted this a while back, but for those who missed it here it is:
In this video he says he received phone calls from studios who want to see Frenchy @ 2 minutes. He does not want a theatrical release anymore. He wants to release it on a platform like Netfix, Canal+ or Disney. "You can stay home and enjoy Frenchy." http://instagr.am/p/CBXz5Q0FRPv

JCVD is retiring from acting after his next and last movie What's My Name?, finally then Frenchy is not going to be released? And the others The Tower, Three Coyotes and Double X2 Action?.What new information is known about these films, especially Frenchy's?

This is interesting they did an additional shoot in 2020.
Kris says he is working on the post production because they shoot some new scenes and he hopes the movie is done this year. I did not watch the entire interview so I don't know if he said the movie will be released this year, but it will be finished this year.

Not surprised they shot more footage, but it makes me even more hesitant of how the final product will turn out. If I remember correctly they shot the film in 2008 in Thailand, did additional shooting and reshoots in 2012 in Bulgaria and now even more...

It seems odd that they keep adding scenes, but Kris says that the additional shoot (2020) is the best idea they could have done, though he was skeptical at first. According to Kris there are different time lines, the additional shoot helps the present day character. So we get to see Frenchy as a kid, around his 50's and as a 60-year-old.........

Sorry, didn't watch the interview myself. I'm glad to hear that Kris was hesitant about it, meaning he (hopefully) was able to find the right balance. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they had to add some modern stuff/current JCVD in it, since I'm not sure how viable it would be to sell this with an actor who's now over a decade older. Fans and people who are familiar with the project will understand, but the general audience probably wont...

I am a subscriber to the Viking Samurai channel and I watch all the videos but I haven't gotten to the videos with Kris yet, I'm still on the videos with Frank Dux, however good to know that "Frenchy" is still being worked on, honestly after the announcement of "What's my name" I thought this film had been permanently put in the cellar.
