Kung Fury 2 greenlit, with Arnie and Fassbender.

Well then.

Kung Fury 2 is officially a go! The full-length feature sequel to the beloved and insane 2015 short has been in the works for a few years now. It’s been more than a minute since we heard any updates on the project. Now we have word out of Cannes that star and director David Sandberg has not only secured financing for the movie, but that it’s locked in a production start date for this summer, with both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Fassbender confirmed to star.

Via Facebook.

What brave new world, and all that. As Brad Torgersen in the comments over there noted: there’s going to be no middle ground, here. It will either be perfect, or it will leave a blighted space on the landscape where nothing will quite grow properly, ever again. And you won’t know until you open that box.
