Masters and Punisher, most of his films that went theatrical were 90's pix) and as for "Command": Given the notion that this is pretty much one of the ol' Die Hard clones that hasn't been used yet, it may just be the last drop out of that well. The idea is still good- how easy would it be for Dolph to say, instead of the Drummer, he's the head of arena security or a bodyguard or something like that... The odds are, Rod, while there may be occasional 'talk' about a project that stars Dolph (regardess if he directs itor not) like the whispers of a Seagal film or the high quality Van Damme films of late, the distributor will put the film right to DVD. You may not like it 100%, I may not always like it 100%. But that's just the way the studios tend to work. It won't stop them from putting Jet Li in crappy theatrically released films like <em> The One</em> or cranking out stuff like <em> Hitman</em> either. But are the studio/distributors really to blame? After all, someone has to be buying into that myth of actors /actresses who hit 40 are "too old"- a myth, which has been repeated within the so-called internet community. A big trouble area with Lundgren is most of his iconic roles have either <strong>a)</strong> been killed off in the film <strong>b)</strong> have been recast or about to be <strong>c)</strong> The best shot at a returning character for Dolph is a sequel to<em> "I Come In Peace"</em>, but it's not iconic and enough and if such a film were done it would go right to DVD anyway. Then there's Ivan Drago, who most likely won't have a spinoff picture from the <em>Rocky</em> films, even if that by itself is a funky idea. The small glimmer of hope? This is Lundgren's fourth directing effort, and if he did impress with <em> Missionary Man</em> ...regardless of what happens to "Command"...maybe instead of aging B film action star he can merge into a A list director of action pictures and thrillers.
