New trailer and new idea for Lords of War
Nicolas Cage will face his offspring Bill Skarsgård in this sequel by Andrew Niccol.
Like father like son!
The continuation of Lord of War will pit good old Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage) against his offspring (Bill Skarsgård) in the arms trafficking business. And as revealed in the new trailer for Lords of War (below), the young one will try to eat the old one. In particular, by injecting a new idea into the market: selling, along with weapons, mercenaries capable of pulling the trigger! What a wonderful concept…
Like the first opus, this sequel is written and directed by Andrew Niccol.
The plot will follow the confrontation between Yuri and his son, thrown into a battle over their inheritance. Anton is described as a formidable mercenary strategist, determined to destroy his father’s empire. On the agenda: father-son rivalry, excessive ambitions, betrayals and, of course, arms trafficking on a global scale.
Released in 2005, Lord of War recounted the rise and criminal activities of Yuri Orlov, international arms dealer played by Nicolas Cage. His journey was thwarted by federal agent Jack Valentine, played by Ethan Hawke. Also, Jared Leto played Vitaly, Yuri’s younger brother, while Bridget Moynahan played Ava Fontaine, his model wife. The film ended with Orlov being arrested by Valentine, before the trafficker managed to resume his activities. Released in France in January 2006, Lord of War had met with great success with 1.3 million entries.
Lords of War will be released in French theaters on January 13, 2027.
