Sony Pictures wants to produce a movie sequel to SWAT, the crime action thriller movie released in 2003 that was directed by Clark Johnson and starring Colin Farrell, Samuel L Jackson, Jeremy Renner.
Director Benny Boom (who once brought us Next Day Air) has been hired to helm the movie SWAT 2 based on a script written by Reed Steiner (Nash Bridges, The Shield, NCIS). The film will be titled "S.W.A.T.: Fire-Fight". No cast has been announced yet, but it seems unlikely that the original cast is going to reprise their roles..
Plot:
"Transferred to Detroit to put a local SWAT team through a training regimen, LAPD Lieutenant Paul Cutler finds himself the target of a homicidal genius who is protected by government officials."
I heard that production of SWAT 2 will start in April 2010. So the release will most likely take place in 2011. Not sure it will be a theatrical release though, maybe a direct-to-DVD release since the film wouldn't have the same appeal without the original cast...
