Lords of War, the sequel to Andrew Niccol’s 2005 crime thriller Lord of War, has been picked up by Vertical for the U.S. with a planned 2027 theatrical release.
Niccol wrote and directed the film that will see Nicolas Cage reprise his role as arms dealer Yuri Orlov. In the follow-up, Orlov finds out he has a son, Anton (Bill Skarsgård), who is building a mercenary army that will rival his father’s, setting up a father-son rivalry, all set against the backdrop of America’s wars in the Middle East.
Vendôme Pictures produced and financed the movie, which also stars Laura Harrier, Sylvia Hoeks and Greg Tarzan Davis. The film recently wrapped production in Morocco.
