TimeCop revisited? Universal planning big budget reboot

How long has it been since anyone actually sat down and watched Timecop? The Jean Claude Van Damme starring action flick was released back in 1994, and featured the Muscles from Brussels as a cop assigned to protecting the timeline. Cool premise. JCVD's biggest grossing flick of his career. I just wonder if it's still any good. Mia Sara? Still hot.

Anyway, Paramount Pictures is hoping somebody out there still remembers TimeCop, because they are ready to dump some cash into a possible reboot. Why not a sequel? Because they already tried that and failed big time in 2003 with Time Cop 2: The Berlin Decision.

Universal is hoping to snag a big name for the starring role. Nope, JCVD won't be back. At least not right now he isn't. Would anyone be surprised if he made a cameo? Plans are for the film to release some time next year, but no firm date has been set.
