'Four Brothers' will get sequel
Franck Tabouring
Remember John Singleton's 2005 thriller "Four Brothers"? The film in which Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, André Benjamin and Garrett Hedlund kicked butt? Well, that film is about to get a sequel, courtesy of Paramount Pictures.
To be honest, I am among those who really enjoyed the first film, an intense flick that certainly had its problems but definitely captured my attention. Original writers David Elliot and Paul Lovett are penning the script for the sequel.
The Hollywood Reporter says the film will be titled "Five Brothers." Mark Wahlberg will be back to star, and he even came up with the idea with Elliot and Lovett. No other details have been released about the planned follow-up at this stage.
In the first film, four brothers gathered to avange their mother's death during a robbery. Hedlund will not be back for the sequel (unless they turn it into a prequel), and it's not clear who may return. I hope Gibson and Benjamin will be back.

They can have Garrett Hedlund in it without it being a preque or a zombie movie. Their mother showed up here and there after she died in the first one. Anyway. Looking forward to this!
