Van Damme, who is Sylvester Stallone’s co star as an arch villain in Expendables 2 said about the collaboration: “I met with Joey DeMaio and explained my vision for the entire soundtrack, he will be writing original score as well as bringing Manowar songs to the movie.”
Produced by Hollywood veteran and long-term Van Damme collaborator, action specialist Moshe Diamant (The Black Dahlia, Hard Target, Sudden Death), Soldiers follows Van Damme on an action packed quest for righteousness, retribution and resurrection.
"Joey DeMaio has the musical ability to write fighting hymns, soulful ballads and deeply emotional scores,” said producer Moshe Diamant.
“We’ve always had a passion for movies, especially those that celebrate the values that matter for us: righteousness, honor, bravery. Contributing musically to such stories, and working with some of the greatest action heroes in cinema history is an honor and a pleasure. We are ready to deliver a powerful soundtrack to this really great movie,” said Joey DeMaio.
Soldiers is scheduled for release in spring 2013.
