Shoot ‘Em Up 2 possible - the first film isn’t even out yet!

Shoot ‘Em Up hasn’t even hit cinemas yet but sequel talks have started already! It’s not just talk though, apparently writer/director Michael Davis has already penned the script.

Talking about the new script he says, “I’ve written another crazy wild funny action script that could be ‘Shoot ‘Em Up’ if I made a few alterations. You’re not going to see me be the guy that genre hops because my favorite genre is the action movie. The greatest goal for me would be to continue on as a writer/director that people identify your signature and doing a ‘Shoot ‘Em Up’ sequel to me would just be validation to me that ‘Hey, I created something that people want to see.’”

Producer Susan Montford has called Davis “Clever” and says “He’s written a brilliant script and it could be adapted to be a sequel or it could stand alone.”

When asked about the characters who may not be able to return for the sequel, it was explained that the film and possible sequel will be in the same vein as the Sergio Leone films where the sequels aren’t really sequels. Murphy explained, “The same characters come back and the same actors come back, and then they have another story, so there’s no reason we can’t have all three of these people back in a different story and still call it ‘Shoot ‘Em Up 2.’”
