Village Roadshow Pictures has partnered with fellow financier and movie producer Rivulet Films on a feature film sequel to 2009’s “Law Abiding Citizen.”
The original film, directed by F. Gary Gray, centered on assistant district attorney Nick Rice’s (Jamie Foxx) pursuit of Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler), a frustrated father who implements an elaborate and twisted plan to bring down the entire judicial system in Philadelphia after a plea bargain sets free the man who murdered his wife and daughter.
It grossed 73.4 million in North America and 127 million worldwide. Recently made available on Netflix, the 2009 film was, for time, the platform’s third most watched film.
Plot details of the sequel have not been disclosed. Screenwriter Kurt Wimmer and the original producer Lucas Foster will both return, with Foster producing under his Warp Films banner. Rivulet Films’ Rob Paris and Mike Witherill are producing. Butler and his G-Base partner Alan Siegel will also produce.
