According to EuropaCorp the sequel to Banlieue 13 is in pre-production.
A three month filming schedule in Serbia this summer, with a cinema release in 2009 has been announced.
Both David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli are rumoured to be involved, as is Luc Besson, but exact details are still a bit scant.
If the two principles of Banlieue 13 are involved I’d expect there to be plenty of action and parkour.
More Good News For Bond Fans

With the new Bond movie scheduled for release later this year an extra push on Bond related material is to be expected.
Earlier this year, which is also Ian Fleming’s centenary, Penguin books released a very attractive set of the original novels, while the Imperial War Museum in London is holding a fantastic exhibition celebrating the life of Fleming and the cinema incarnation.
For blu ray fans the news is positive with six James Bond titles scheduled for blu ray release:
Sean Connery stars in “Dr. No,” “From Russia with Love,” and “Thunderball”; Roger Moore stars in “Live and Let Die” and “For Your Eyes Only”; and Pierce Brosnan stars in “Die Another Day.”
Each title will be available individually or as part of a “three pack”.
While the titles are available for pre-order via Amazon I couldn’t see an actual release date.

The Dark Knight - First Six Minutes

The Dark Knight is officially released in Ireland later this week, however several cinemas have organised special screenings most evenings this week.
The giftset edition of Batman Begins can help whet your appetite, as it has the first 6 minutes of the Dark Knight as one of its special features.
The funny thing is that while the first 6 minutes of Dark Knight leave you begging for more Batman does not actually show his face. You do, however, get to see some of Heath Ledger’s incarnation of The Joker.
I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the film later this week!
