When I first saw this I thought GSP and Batista were going to be the leads, but this article indicates otherwise, so
you for bringing that to my attention.
It can never be as good as it's original because it lacks a certain je ne sais quoi that the original had (JCVD), but I have faith that it will be a good movie. Interested as to where they go with the future too as that indicates it will be the start of a franchise.
