#THE RAID FULL MOVIE 2 SERIES#
'House of the Dragon': Everything You Need to Know About HBO's Upcoming Series 'Apostle' Trailer: Dan Stevens and 'The Raid' Director Invade A Bone-Crunching, Bloodthirsty CultĮmmy Predictions: Outstanding Comedy Series 'Apostle': Gareth Evans Left 'The Raid' Behind to Imagine a Sinister Cult, Inspired by British Folk Horror and Caravaggio Things get offered to you that are hard to pass up on.” “I couldn’t see myself going back out to make ‘The Raid 3.’ My interests had moved on to other projects,” said Evans, who’s since directed the Netflix horror film “Apostle,” and created and directed episodes for the new British crime series “Gangs of London.” “You work with other people, you meet other people and want to work with them again, you want to try different things, you find a story that suddenly captures your attention and that’s the thing you want to do next. The "R" rated The Raid 2: Berandal starts in US cinemas on March 28th, 2014.Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans’ Indonesian action crime film “ The Raid” started off as a cult hit in 2011, but its impressive stunt-work, choreography, and high-octane thrills yielded a sequel in 2014 with “ The Raid 2: Berandal.” Both films balanced threads of police corruption and international drug-trafficking within the Jakarta criminal underbelly, boasting jaw-dropping sequences of bloody combat that have since landed both the movies atop any action aficionado’s list of favorites.Īnd while a third film was once in talks, Gareth Evans recently explained on the Empire Spoiler Special Podcast why it’s unlikely to happen, despite the juicy storyline he has in mind for another sequel. At latest when the DVD/BD hit the shelves, the hardcore fans will be entirely pleased, hopefully not only in the US since the censorship of the first film found its way into other territories, as well. So, it looks like The Raid 2: Berandal will follow the same path that its predecessor went on, also in terms of version talk. W/ the exception of a few frames cut to get an R you’ll get the directors cut in theatres. It remains to be seen whether they will be included in the Blu-ray's bonus section or are inserted into a longer cut of the movie, especially when looking at the following statement: we have one big shoot out, some execution scenes and a Steadicam single take scene (drama with some action) We will make it worth it.Įarlier in the interview, Evans already talked about deleted scenes that didn't make it into the final movie and shared some more info about their nature: Some of his followers quickly drew their attention to the home video release and the potential for an unrated version later on and Evans responded positively: Looking at the cuts that had to be made to the first film in order to make the MPAA give the film the "R", one is inclined to believe Evans regarding the slight amount of cuts applied ( see comparison). We are literally talking frames - and not too many of them. And in all honesty the few cuts we made are so minimal. Evans confirmed via his Twitter account that the sequel had to be censored for the "R" rating ( strong bloody violence throughout, sexuality and language):įor folks in the US, The Raid 2 has just been rated R. However, he had his doubts that this would happen ( see news).Īnd it looks like that fear has indeed become a fact. There, he talked about his hope that the MPAA would approve of his sequel The Raid 2: Berandal without demanding cuts for the "R" rating.
Almost one month ago, we reported about an interview that The Raid director Gareth Evans gave to Collider.
