Gina Carano Joins KICKBOXER Remake

The "Kickboxer" remake is starting to take shape with Alan Moussi ("X-Men: Days of Future Past") playing the lead alongside George St. Pierre ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier"),Dave Bautista ("Guardians of the Galaxy") and the original's star Jean-Claude Van Damme who will take on a smaller, but important role in this update.

Now it has been announced that MMA fighter Gina Carano ("Fast & Furious 6") has joined the cast and she will play a fight promoter. Producer Ted Field said the following about Carano's casting:

"It will be fun to watch Gina as the sneaky and dangerous temptress, a boa constrictor of this fighting jungle. Watch out kickboxers!"

Directed by John Stockwell ("Blue Crush"), the film is currently shooting in New Orleans and will eventually move to Thailand. No release date was announced, but it will be released sometime next year. Until then, here is the official synopsis:

"KICKBOXER follows Kurt Sloan (Moussi), a talented martial artist who travels to Thailand where he must learn the secrets of the kickboxer to avenge his brother’s death at the hands of Tong Po (Bautista)."
