The Last Mercenary is a thrilling project that allows him to branch out into a new genre, JCVD had previously said. He’s always been a fan of Jean-Paul Belmondo and hopes to pick up the torch of action comedy in his own manner. David Charhon’s script successfully combines all of these components – a great story with passion, a lot of action, and a lot of humour. He’s also excited to collaborate with a new generation of talent.
Charhonsaid that he’d like to return to the wonderful tradition of action films from the 1980s and 1990s, those cult favourites where the protagonists were out of the ordinary, the stunts were all more amazing and true-to-life, and everything was punctuated with humour. This unrivalled golden age of cinema could only be embodied by Jean-Claude.
