Ben Wheatley (High-Rise; Free Fire) hired to direct sequel.


That's unexpected but that makes me excited.

FREE FIRE WAS EXCEPTIONAL...IM A LITTLE EXCITED FOR THIS NOW TOO.

I quite enjoyed the first movie. But given his other movies, this suggests there'll be a bit of a darker edge to the sequel.

It's going to start filming this year.

I WILL DEFINITELY WATCH THIS ONE...I WON'T LIE THOUGH...THE ABSENCE OF RAINN WILSON IS A BIG HIT TO MY EXCITEMENT LEVEL.

This one was mediocre at best, but I'm looking forward to the sequel because of the director.
