THE TOWER ???

I THINK "FULL LOVE" THAT OLD PROJECT "THE TOWER"!!!
THIS INFO ABOUT "THE TOWER" FROM
2002 YEAR - SPANISH NEWSPAPER:


"We see JCVD work on the script of THE TOWER with two other writers. JC seems very inten. He details all the plans with precise details in particular a scene of nightmare with a monster. He really wants to make a great job contrary to The Quest accord ing to his statements.

Jean-Claude Van Damme visited Madrid in October to announce his next project, THE TOWER (may be retitled THE CHOICE). It is the history of a European who already has everything and is bored with life. He is a champion motocycle rider, owner of a big business and married. He decides to leave it all behind and flees very far, to Thailand.

There he looks for a new life and begins to take part in clandestine martial arts competitions. He suffers grave injuries in combat and falls into a coma. While in the coma he begins to have an "out of body" experience. He has a vision of a tower, in which he will have to face a series of tests (mental, emotional and physical). Using martial arts he must overcome the different tests to ascend the levels.

TOWER, a $16 million-$20 million action thriller, will be scripted and helmed by Van Damme himself in his first behind-the-cameras outing since 1996's THE QUEST.Explores SIXTH SENSE-type extracorporeal sensations. Project is now in rewrite.

A 10-week shoot will start in February in Spain and Thailand. Pic turns on a former motorbike world champ (Van Damme) who's in a coma after an accident in Thailand. He imagines himself attempting to surmount obstacles in a seven-level tower in order to save himself.

Van Damme told a Madrid press conference that the pic will present his more human side".
