Russian director Timur Bekmambetov spoke to the Russian outlet RIA Novosti (translated via Russia-IC) recently and told them that he's starting prep on "Wanted 2" soon.
“In July we will start preparation for the film. I think in the late autumn or winter shooting will be performed” - Mr. Bekmambetov said to RIA Novosti. “The shooting will take place in America, India and Russia."
We last heard about the sequel back in April when it was announced that "Pooh's Heffalump Movie" writer Evan Spiliotopoulos had been hired to write a script based off of a story by "Wanted" writer Chris Morgan.
The film director and producer promised that in the sequel he would bring back to life Angelina Jolie’s character, who perished at the end of the first movie. In addition to that, new characters will be introduced in the sequel.
He also wants to bring back the character named The Exterminator played by Russian actor Konstantin Khabenskiy (he was the guy who ran the healing room).
Russia-IC also reports that the budget for the sequel will be $150 million, which is double the $75 million budget of the first.
Hopefully the translations is accurate because bringing back characters from the dead is highly unusual, but has happened before (I'm think of "Pirates of the Caribbean").
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
