Movie News: New Poster Unveiled For UNIVERSAL SOLDIER - DAY OF RECKONING...

Written by Gibson Rickenbacker Tuesday, 11 September 2012

Movie News

Van Damme and Lundgren are back!!! Together again for the first time since... last month's EXPENDABLES 2. Bit anti-climatic that. Well, UNIVERSAL SOLDIER fans are in for a treat anyway, as DAY OF RECKONING sees the pair reprise their characters created in the 1992 original and last seen in 2009's UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: REGENERATION. Despite being the sixth film in the series, DAY OF RECKONING is only the third to be accepted as canon (UNIVERSAL SOLDIER II: BROTHERS IN ARMS; UNIVERSAL SOLDIER III: UNFINISHED BUSINESS and UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: THE RETURN are all cheeky pretenders, unworthy of Devlin & Emmerich's genius).

Anyway, the new poster hit the internets today, and you can check it out below...

Gotta love the fact he stopped a machete blow... by blocking the blade with his wrist. Now that's badass.

UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: DAY OF RECKONING only has Stateside releases scheduled at the mo' (October 25th on VOD, November 30th limited theatrical run), but expect it to premiere on DVD/Blu-ray early 2013.
