Veteran of B-grade movie, Albert Pyun has an upcoming prequel to his 1989's Jean-Claude Van Damme's cult hit, CYBORG. Titled as CYBORG: RISE OF THE SLINGERS, the prequel will be sadly without Jean-Claude Van Damme in the mix, but rather replaced by a sexy female lead played by a relatively unknown actress named Terrie Batson. In the meantime, check out the first promo poster below as well as the explanation of the plot by Albert Pyun himself.
The big issue never really addressed by Cyborg was the plague that destroyed the world. So we are delving into the backstory regarding the plague, that it creates a zombie of the infected, that Mary (Terrie Batson) was the first prophet series cyborg and she was the cyborg – "Tama Prophet"- created to spread the plague (Mary being the Typhoid Mary of the 21st Century). In Cyborg, Pearl Prophet (Dayle Haddon) was created to spread the cure so its an interesting juxtposition of purposes I think.
Fender and the other Slingers were mercenary black ops soldiers working for a Halliburton type corporation and volunteered to become cybergenic. They were the Slingers and created to be immune to the plague and to further the corporations interests.
