Via ComingSoon:
Nicolas Cage will return to the shadowy world of illegal weapons sales, but this time, it’s become a family affair.
The Oscar-winning star will reunite with writer and director Andrew Niccol on “Lords of War,” the sequel to their 2005 crime thriller, “Lord of War.” Cage will reprise his role as morally compromised arms dealer Yuri Orlov with “It’s” Bill Skarsgård co-starring as his son, who is a chip off the old block. Vendôme Group is backing the project, which is set to begin principal photography in the fall of 2023.

LORD OF WAR was one of those flicks that, while interesting and entertaining, still managed to get in its own way. Its great revelation – that the biggest arms dealers in the world are the permanent members of the UN Security Council – wasn’t really that much of a revelation. I mean, it was hardly a secret. I’m not sure what this one is going to be about, either. Based on the article: that people prefer to have other people fight necessary but potentially damaging conflicts, whenever possible? That’s not exactly news, either.
Guess we’ll see.

I could have sworn there was a sorta sequel to this years ago with a female lead and an arms convention at a hotel in the middle east but damned if I can find it with so few details.
Consider we traded a WNBA player for the real life counterpart of Yuri (Viktor Vout)….
