More on Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Le jardinier
Le jardinier follows Serge and his family, who hold a state secret, because of which they get on the death list of government officials. To solve this, they come up with a plan involving their strange gardener, Leo. David Charhon and JCVD have already proved their partnership with The Last Mercenary, so hopes are high for this one. What’s more, the studio is appreciative of the director and thinks the actor is still “bankable.”
Other Angle co-founder Olivier Albou said,
“David Charhon has demonstrated his expertise in delivering well-made action comedies, and teaming him with Van Damme makes it an appealing package for buyers.”
