He’s Oscar nominated for his work on this year’s brilliant Hell Or High Water, and he’s got his own directorial debut, Wind River, heading to cinemas very, very soon, but Taylor Sheridan has been speaking to the mighty Collider.com about a future project, a sequel to the award-winning Sicario.
The film will be called Soldado and will follow the characters played by Josh Brolin and Benico del Toro.
Here’s what Sheridan had to say to the outlet.
“One of the producers called me and said, ‘If you were to do a sequel, how would you do it?’ and when he first brought it up I thought,’ Well of course you’re asking me.’ And then I had an idea, and I said, ‘Look you can’t really do a sequel, but I sure would love to see what happened if these guys didn’t have a chaperone.’ Because basically they’re operating within the United States, so I played with some actual laws that exist and found a way that they could operate more or less legally within the U.S. But they had a chaperone. What happens if they weren’t in the U.S. and they didn’t have a chaperone? How bad or good would that work out? You’ve seen Sicario, good isn’t going to factor into it too much.”
Directing Soldado is Suburra filmmaker Stefano Sollima, and it currently has a 2017 release date set – but that’s as specific that it gets. We’ll bring you more as it comes our way.
