Blue Fox has acquired rights to recent Fantastic Fest North American premiere The Bouncer starring jean-Claude Van Damme.
Blue Fox has set a January 11, 2019, theatrical launch for the French and English-language film directed by Julien Leclercq from a screenplay by Jérémie Guez.
Labyrinthe Films produced with Leclercq, Guez, Aimée Buidine, and Julian Madon. The Other Angle represents international rights and introduced the project at AFM 2017.
The Bouncer centres on Lukas, a tough nightclub doorman struggling to raise his eight-year-old daughter. When an altercation lands him in jail, Lukas is forced to collaborate with the police and infiltrate a Flemish gang in order to secure his freedom and regain custody of his daughter.
Sveva Alviti, Sami Bouajila, Sam Louwyck, Kaaris, Kevin Janssens, and Alice Verset round out the key cast.
“Jean-Claude Van Damme proves he is still one of the greatest action stars in our lifetime while truly showcasing his talent as a great dramatic actor,” said Blue Fox. “Julien Leclercq made a fantastic film, telling a powerful story with nuanced performances, gritty cinematography, realistic car chases, and top notch fight choreography that is already impressing critics and audiences around the world.”
Blue Fox Entertainment’s James Huntsman negotiated the deal with The Other Angle’s Olivier Albou on behalf of the filmmakers.

I'm assuming the "theatrical launch" means some select theaters for a week and then VOD but who knows. The film could have more luck in the States because Americans cares more to what the critics say compared to Europeans. Do you think JC will do some premiere there ? I hope so.

The Bouncer is going to be released in US this week and a trailer in Full English has been released. I guess Americans will get a total English language version of the film.

We don't have any infos of eventual premiere with JC in America ? It would be cool to see JC there but I guess the US release won't be as big and similar to the French one to require his presence there but who knows, JC is promoting the US release date on Facebook since some days.

No, Los Angeles, California - Laemmle Music Hall has subtitles. So I guess they released the theatrical French version that it's a little shorter than the International dubbed version Germany got. I hope the sales are going well there. |

It seems the film is getting in America the same very positive reception it got in France. It should have had better luck in French cinemas, this way I would be watching the film in Italian cinemas right now. Missed oppurtunity to have a real hit worldwide.
