That project never came together, however, and now it looks like The Raid 3 is going to share a similar fate.
Both films earned glowing reviews from professional critics and audience, most of the excitement generated because of the films’ remarkable fight scenes, and even for a time Hollywood considered an English-language remake.
The sequel, in turn, saw that mission expand, as Rama goes undercover in an attempt to root out corruption within his department.
Based on an original screenplay by Gareth Evans, the first The Raid starred Iko Uwais as Rama – a member of an elite S.W.A.T. team assigned a mission to take down a tenement controlled by a violent and dangerous mobster.
