It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything regarding  Albert Pyun’s sequel to his classic 80s Van Damme flick Cyborg, however Pyun hs taken to Facebook to announce that filming has begun on the film, titled Cyborgs: Rise of the Slingers, which will chronicle the genesis of the Slingers who, if you remember the original flick, were guardian mercenaries in Cyborg.

The screenplay is by Randall Fontana and Cynthia Curnan, and so far Sasha Mitchell, Michael Pare, and Olivier Gruner have been named as being attached to the project. To accompany the announcement, Pyun has also released a new title design for the film by Artifex in Montreal. Check it out:

Well, you know that I wasn’t going to allow Haywire to escape from my local monsterplex without giving it a look. A guy who’s written about Lady Shiva and Black Canary, not to mention a somewhat wimpified Wonder Woman who used martial arts in lieu of genuine superpowers – this guy was about to let pass a movie starring one Gina Carano who, in addition to being gorgeous, has real-life ass-kicker credentials, a film directed by one of the most interesting gents in movieland?
