It seems that actor Viggo Mortensen and director David Cronenberg could be working with each other once again, but this time for a sequel to their 2007 film. Deadline London is reporting that Viggo Mortensen and director David Cronenberg are lining up a sequel to their 2007 film Eastern Promises.

Steven Knight, who wrote the first film, will be writing the sequel and Mortensen will reprise his role as Nikkolai. It was said that Focus Features was hoping to get the film in production by this coming winter.

Mortensen and Cronenberg first have to re-team for their latest project, though, The Talking Cure, which was said to be released in 2011.

We'll be sure to keep you posted on any further details on an Eastern Promises sequel as soon as we have more information.

Eastern Promises was released September 14th, 2007 and stars Josef Altin, Mina E. Mina, Aleksander Mikic, Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse, Lalita Ahmed, Badi Uzzaman, Naomi Watts, Doña Croll. The film is directed by David Cronenberg.

    Who the f*ck cares if you see his dick. Are you that immature that it bothers you? You can see the David statue's dick too.

    @mosorwvlad I did see it. Secveral times. But in that scene, if you're actually watching the MOVIE, and not searching for his dick, it's pretty hard to see, because said 5 min nude fight sequence is very fast paced and doesn't actually FOCUS on his dick, as you seem to be. You may catch a brief glimpse, but it's not exactly in your face the whole time.

    No, Dr Carter, he wasn't retiring. The media SAID he was, after he said he had no projects lined up straightaway.

    The movie doesn't really NEED a sequel; it stands alone very well. It would probably be great, though, if they did make one.

    This movie was one of the best in recent years and if Cronenberg, Knight, and Mortensen are back, I'll sure as Hell be first in line.
