> The sequel to the 2005 movie, Lord of War, which starred Oscar winner **Nicolas Cage,** sees the actor reprising his role as Yuri Orlov, the world’s most notorious arms dealer. When Yuri discovers he has a son, Anton **(Bill Skarsgård)**, a ruthless mercenary mastermind bent on surpassing his father by building a private army and exploiting America’s wars in the Middle East, he is thrust into a deadly battle for legacy. What begins as a shocking revelation ignites a fierce father-son rivalry fueled by power, ambition, and betrayal – with the global arms trade hanging in the balance.
> Lord of War grossed $72M at the global box office.
> Lords of War recently wrapped production in Morocco, and was written and directed by Niccol. Pic also stars
– **Laura Harrier** (White Men Can’t Jump)
– **Sylvia Hoeks** (A Sacrifice)
– **Greg Tarzan Davis** (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning).
One of Cage’s best I’m all in
…why did I think Ridley Scott directed Lord of War for the last 20 years?
I love the original and I just can’t see a sequel being anything close to a good idea. Sometimes standalone stories hold more weight. I feel the same way about District 9, but what’s his name, the director, seems intent on making a sequel anyway.
