There isn’t much we can do except wait as patiently as possible for the next two years while acclaimed filmmaker Gareth Huw Evans slow-boils his way toward the production of the third installment of his much-heralded crime saga, The Raid. Until then, both film are now available wherever movies are sold for home viewing, and lucky movie goers will be able to attend fan screenings wherever and whenever available.
Keep this in mind while the kind folks over in London’s Prince Charles Cinema are gearing up for a double header on August 8 at 7:20pm for the 2011 movie and its 2014 follow up collectively produced by XYZ Films, Merantau Films and Celluloid Dreams, and starring Iko Uwais, Donny Alamsyah, Joe Taslim, Yayan Ruhian, Ray Sahetapy, Pierre Gruno, Tio Pakusawedo, Arifin Putra, Oka Antara, Very Tri Yulisman and Julie Estelle, with Cecep Arif Rahman, Endo Kenichi, Matsuda Ryuhei and Kitamura Kazuki.
Bolstered by stunning and explosive martial arts action and brimming with drama and suspense, The Raid and The Raid 2 focus on Rama, a rookie tactical officer resigned to his natural survival instincts and fighting prowess between a compromised police raid that leaves most of his team dead, and an undercover mission into Jakarta’s criminal underworld that exposes multi-level police corruption and a brewing gangwar between crime families whilst testing the limits of his family’s safety, as well as his own.
Anything else beyond this point regarding what will happen in part three is entirely up to the producers on hand. For though though, at least the movies we love now are worth celebrating, and if you live in or near London and wish to purchase tickets, head to the official website for more info!
