Dolph Lundgren in 'Die Hard' Meets Madonna Concert


From iwatchstuff, Now many straight-to-video years after his rise to nearly becoming the next Jean-Claude Van Damme and fall to becoming current Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren has plans to reinvent himself. Say goodbye to '80s action star Dolph Lundgren, hello to modern action star/director making '80s movies Dolph Lundgren.

Currently in post-production on his last acting/directing vehicle, Missionary Man (playing "a mysterious stranger [who] rolls into town on a unique motorcycle"), the Swede has announced plans to direct and star in Command Performance, described as "Die Hard at a rock concert." Set in Ivan Drago's native Russia, Lundgren will play an ex-marine drummer who, naturally, kicks ass after some motherfuckers disrupt the show--an idea he says he got from... Madonna? Since I don't remember a terrorist attack on Madonna's Russian tour, I'll assume the "idea" he means is being old and grossly muscular.

That makes me think warmly of Van Damme for his "eh, I've made a bunch of money already" attitude.
