Back in April we reported on a then unsubstantiated rumor that Sony was looking at bringing Dolph Lundgren and JCVD back from the celebrity dead and into another Universal Soldier movie. We promised an update whenever we had more info so here it is; for all you Universal Soldier buffs out there, everything you need to know about the film that's being called Universal Soldier III: A New Beginning. For one thing the film now has a director, Simon Fellows, whose last film was actually Until Death with JCVD, but who is also working on the much anticipated Malice in Wonderland with Maggie Grace. Unfortunately Lundgren and Van Damme are still only rumored to be attached but with Fellows on board and backing from Sony, I imagine its only a matter of time before they're reported as being attached. The film is currently skedded for a 2009 release date. Full synopsis after the break.
A crazed Chechen nationalist, BASAYEV, seizes control of Chernobyl, site of the infamous nuclear meltdown, and threatens to unleash a radioactive cloud unless his nationalist blackmail demands are met.
LUC DEVEREAUX (Jean-Claude Van Damme) joins a U.S. team of revived UniSoldiers secretly held in deep storage. Their mission: retake Chernobyl and disable explosives that will unleash the radioactive clouds. Luc is surprised when he finds one of the reactivated UniSoldiers is a clone of his old Sergeant, ANDREW SCOTT (Dolph Lundgren). But the cloned Andrew has no recollection of Luc.
As the team furiously battles its way into the Chernobyl plant, they are caught off guard. Using a mind-control chip, Baseyev turns Andrew against his own comrades. Now surrounded, wounded, and out-numbered, Luc must battle Andrew, and save the world.
