Universal is reportedly planning to revive Jean-Claude Van Damme's 1994 movie Timecop.



According to What's Playing, the studio has been trying to retool the time-travelling blockbuster for the past four years and now wants to begin production to make a release date within "the next 12 to 18 months".

Van Damme has allegedly expressed an interest in coming back to the franchise, although Universal is adamant about casting a new star in the title role.

Timecop starred Van Damme as Max Walker, an agent for the Time Enforcement Commission (TEC). A short-lived spinoff series followed in 1997 and a Jason Scott Lee-led direct-to-video feature, Timecop: The Berlin Decision, was released in 2003.
