'Inside Man' Sequel On the Way
Saturday, September 6, 2008 at 3:05PM 
The Hollywood Reporter says that
Terry George
(Hotel Rwanda) is in negotiations to write a sequel to
Inside Man, the superb
Spike Lee heist movie
from 2006. Not surprisingly, Lee is angling to return to direct
Inside Man 2 and says, "I want the script to be
even better than [Russell Gerwitz's original], and Russell wrote a really good
script."
The film was the director's biggest hit to date,
grossing over $175 million worldwide, and he said in Toronto this week that
Clive Owen
is interested in hopping about the follow-up, as well.
This would fall in the category of a good sequel, at
least on paper. There's nothing in the story that prevents a second verse, and
since they're going with a different storyline, it could help flesh out Owen's
bank robber a little more. I'm all for this one.
