The Raid: Redemption director Gareth Evans is in the process of shooting The Raid 2, which will be called The Raid: Berandal. It promises to kick even more ass than the first movie! And the first movie is one of the best action movies I've ever seen! The first image from the sequel has been released and, as expected, it features a guy who just had the living hell beat out of him! You can check out the previously released set photos here.
Picking up right where the first film ends, The Raid 2 follows Rama (Uwais) as he goes undercover and infiltrates the ranks of a ruthless Jakarta crime syndicate in order to protect his family and uncover the corruption in his own police force.
The movie literally takes place only two hours after the first movie ends. Here's how the director previously described the movie to us...
The idea is to take it out of that building. We've already done something self contained, we want to do something now whereby the boss of that building and the building itself everything that was terrifying and scary about that in the first film is considered small fry when it comes to the second film. So, we go to a much bigger underworld organization, and it should be great.
I'm so excited for this sequel! I can't even begin to imagine the hardcore badassery that's going to be implemented into this film!
