Gardener: Are there plans for a sequel to the action comedy with Van Damme and Michael Yeun?

No one would have imagined that such a duo would see the light of day, and yet: Michael Yoon and Jean-Claude Van Damme are truly the gardener headliners of the film. Produced by Prime Video, this action comedy stars a political adviser whose name is on the hit list of a trio of assassins.

Her only hope of survival rests on the shoulders of her gardener, Leo, who seems to have other talents besides a green thumb. Then begins a real race against time, while these two characters will have to learn to work together, which is far from winning.

This action comedy takes cues from classic comedy and especially the films that made Francis Webber successful (The Goat, Troubled, etc.). Michael Yun did not hesitate to agree to make the film without reading the script, for the sole pleasure of filming in the company of Jean-Claude Van Damme.
