David Cronenberg Working on "Eastern Promises" Sequel

David Cronenberg Working on Eastern Promises SequelSubmit Comment
MTV News spoke to director David Cronenberg (The Fly, A History of Violence), who revealed that he is thinking of making a sequel to the 2007 "Easter Promises" film, which stars Viggo Mortensen as a Russian gangster named Nikolai.

"It's the first time I've ever been in a situation where I actually want to do a sequel to something," he admitted. "I've never had the desire to do that before. But in this case, I thought we had unfinished business with those characters. I didn't feel that we had finished with Nikolai and we had done a lot of research that was more than we could stuff into that one movie."

Cronenberg added that many of original people are returning for the sequel, including himself, writer Steven Knight, producer Paul Webster, Focus Features and Mortensen, who received a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role.

"We are moving forward with it. We all are excited about the idea of doing a sequel," said Cronenberg. "We are going to have a meeting very soon between me, Steve Knight and Paul Webster to discuss what the script would be. I have some very strong ideas about what I would like to see, but I would like to hear what they have to say as well. And then after that, if all goes well, Steve goes away and writes a great script. If we all like it, we make it."

Hey, this sounds great. The first one ended on a terrific note and doesn't really need a sequel, but if everyone is on board I'm all about seeing some more of Nikolai. ACSlaterson, grow up. If male nudity legitimately makes you uncomfortable you're either a closet homosexual or you aren't mature enough to handle legitimate filmmaking.

"Eastern Promises" was one of my favorite films of 2007, but is it one that truly warrants a sequel? Methinks not, but Cronenberg movies own. He really brings out the best in Mortensen, so I guess I'm down for this.

Stringer Bell I am all for good film making but their was entirely too many low angle shots in that scene. They didn't need to be so blatant about the nudity. Didn't School Ties have a shower fight scene? I am just saying there could have been more tasteful editing. I loved the film otherwise and like I said I would be pumped for a sequel.
