Jean-Claude Van Damme

Jean-Claude Van Damme will star in Cross Creek’s EFM sales title What’s My Name? which Wild Bunch International and CAA Media Finance have introduced to market buyers.

The film is described as the most ambitious and personal film from martial arts screen legend Van Damme, whose credits include Double Impact, Kickboxer and Universal Soldier, and his “final and epic farewell to fighting”.

Jeremy Zag directs and Tyler Thompson will produce for Cross Creek alongside Zag and Van Damme. Cross Creek is fully financing the film, in which the “Muscles from Brussels” plays himself.

When Van Damme awakens from a coma following a car accident he must rebuild his sense of identity and meaning by going hand-to-hand with iconic adversaries from his career including Dolph Lundgren, culminating in one final showdown.

Nick Vallelonga (Green Book) and Paul Sloan wrote the script based on a story by Van Damme.
