Nicolas Cage and Bill Skarsgård have signed on for the leading roles in the upcoming Lord of War sequel from director Andrew Niccol.
: Chapter 4 star Bill Skarsgård has also been enlisted to portray the role of Yuri Orlov’s son, Anton. The sequel, titled Lords of War, will once again be written and directed by Andrew Niccol – best known for his Oscar-nominated screenplay to The Truman Show. Production is expected to begin this coming fall.
“There is so much more to explore with these characters,” Niccol said. “Plato said it best – ‘Only the dead have seen the end of war.’ I’m looking forward to spending more time in the company of the charming devil that is Yuri Orlov and now his illegitimate son – who turns out to not be legitimate in any way.”“Lords of War finds Orlov , the world’s most notorious gunrunner, as he discovers that he has a son, Anton , who is trying to top his dad,” reads the synopsis.
The project will be produced by Cage for Saturn Films, along with original producers Philippe Rousselet and Fabrice Gianfermi for Vendôme Pictures. Skarsgård is also set to executive produce. The original film was inspired by the real-life stories of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. It also starred Ethan Hawke, Jared Leto, and Bridget Moynahan.Maggie Dela Paz has been writing about the movie and TV industry for more than four years now. Besides being a fan of coming-of-age films and shows, she also enjoys watching K-Dramas and listening to her favorite K-Pop groups. Her current TV obsessions right now are FX’s The Bear and the popular anime My Hero Academia.
