"The Rundown" Japanese Theatrical Poster
In an interview with Collider, Peter Berg (Lone Survivor) hints that both himself and Dwayne Johnson are interested in doing a sequel to 2003’s The Rundown. “I really want to do it. I’ve talked to Dwayne. I have an actor in mind that I can’t say that I want to work with Dwayne on it, and we want to do it…Yeah, we’re meeting with writers now,” says Berg.
The original film – which also stars Seann William Scott, Christopher Walken, Rosario Dawson, Ewen Bremner, Jon Gries and a surprise appearance by Ernie Reyes Jr. – revolves around a tough aspiring chef who is hired to bring home a mobster’s son from the Amazon, but becomes involved in a fight against an oppressive town operator.
We’ll keep you in the loop in regards to The Rundown 2, but don’t hold your breath, because Berg is attached to direct a Mark Wahlberg crime-thriller American Desperado, which may be his next priority. Stay tuned.
