Lord of War Sequel in the Works

Thoughts on this? @Leo Gura

I must say, this is a brilliant film that I found through you. I remember seeing the iconic intro on YouTube back in the day, but had never seen the full thing until becoming inspired to watch it because of the episode (I forget which one) of yours where you mentioned it being your favourite movie in relation to the topic (I imagine it was the stage Red or orange spiral dynamics video considering the subject matter).

Personally I think there's a lot of potential for it to be a great film. There's tons of modern day socio-political framework to build off of for a sequel that tackles and expands upon the themes of the original.

I've known about it for a few years now.

I am skeptical. I doubt it can match the original and it really doesn't need a sequel.

But I am intrigued. It could be decent.

But I don't want my fave film to be fucked with by modern Hollywood.

The first film is perfection and needs nothing more.

Any other films that you really love?

@Leo Gura Yeah fully agreed, there isn't any need for a sequel when the first is so tightly woven. I imagine it will be good but there is no room for surpassing the original. I haven't seen it in a while, definitely due a rewatch. I quite like Gattaca as well, which is a sci-fi film by the same director. He's underrated.

Watched it yesterday. I enjoyed it, but wouldn't be my usual cup of tea.
