Viggo Mortensen and David Cronenberg are “in talks” about a sequel to the Russian gangster flick, Eastern Promises. I love this movie and am really interested in following the Viggo Mortenson’s character, Nikolai. If you haven’t seen Eastern Promises, you need to.
According to MTV, Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen will reteam with Steven Knight, the screenwriter; Paul Webster, the producer; and Focus Features. The current plan is for them to sit down together and discuss the way forward, though Cronenberg says he has “some very strong ideas” of his own about where the story should go.
