Yes, you read that right. Gareth Evans has being on his twitter speaking, albeit briefly, about The Raid 3. While The Raid 2: Berabdal won’t explode into cinemas until late March, the director tweeted the following
"The Raid 2" takes place two hours after the first, "The Raid 3" would start two hours before "The Raid 2" ends.”
Take that for what it is, but if theres anything the world needs right now, its another few Raid movies. The first one was insane, the sequel is looking to be even more insane and I’m now drooling at the prospect of another Raid movie!!
Obviously, Mr. Evans has been tweeting about the sequel as well with the following being of particular interest
Naturally, there’s a ton of stuff we have kept hidden from the trailer. About 4/5 action scenes don’t feature at all.
I also wanted to put less emphasis on the brutality – this is the closest I could get to a green band version.
The final shot is a tease – that fight I still get goosebumps watching it. Iko and Cecep gave everything they had for it.
We spent 1.5 months just designing the final fight. That’s the most complex we have done so far. Another 3-4 weeks on pre vis. Still a lot of work to do.
We had a 3min 45s steadicam scene in a club but we cut it for pacing reasons. All deleted scenes will be on Blu-Ray/DVD. I’ll do a commentary track, hopefully this one will be more interesting.
