Source: Variety September 27, 2004

Paramount Pictures is in talks to bring back The Italian Job stars Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Seth Green, Mos Def and Jason Statham for the sequel being developed by producer John Goldwyn, reports Variety.

The trade says that, while the script is not finished, the goal is to start filming in late March for a November 2005 release. F. Gary Gray, who directed last year's $106 million blockbuster remake of the 1969 original, will be the first choice to helm the sequel.

The sequel script is being penned by Wayne and Donna Powers, the husband-and-wife team who wrote the remake and set it in Venice and Hollywood. Primary locations in the sequel are expected to be St. Tropez, Paris and the French Alps.

Good for Norton, I heard he was contractually obligated to be in the first one, its nice to see him showing alittle self respect.As for the film itself, i'll rent the first one soon enough AND if I like it enough i'll catch the second one on the big screen.

I liked the original, may check this out. Interesting to see Norton with that little mustache :cool:

The original (American) version sucked ass. And i think Norton dies. Oops, hope I didn't ruin it for anyone. See it was such a horrible flick, I forget what happened, just that it sucked.

I didn't really find the first to be all that fun or anything, but I don't know, maybe they can improve with the sequel. *laughs at that thought*
