I got a right royal ear bending for liking the original BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL. I thought it was funny, sweet and a genuine good Sunday afternoon watch, and millions of others agreed with me as the film took a blooming marvelous $135 million across the world upon its release late last year. It cost just $10 million to make. It will come as to no surprise, based on those numbers, that Fox have just greenlit a sequel to the film, which was based on a convoy of old timers that venture to India to live out their years in paradise at ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.’
Moviescope report the news of the sequel, and also say that original screenwriter Ol Parker will deliver a script to the studio within ‘the next couple of months.’ Dame Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and Dame Maggie Smith are apparently all set to return. No news as yet as to whether the first film’s director John Madden will step behind the camera one more time.
