During an interview with Empire , Adam Wingard, the director of Bez Face 2 , confirmed that the new film will continue the story we’ve known for 25 years. The creator also intends to return to the cast of both Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. Actors initially expressed their willingness to participate in the project, but at the moment nothing has been confirmed yet. It is also worth noting that the original appeared at a time when Cage was at its peak of popularity, and Wingard mentioned that the second installment seems to coincide with another actor’s career revival.
He just has a great moment. Even before Pig’s premiere, we saw that the time had come for Nicolas Cage’s rebirth. A few years ago, the studio would probably want a young, up-to-date actor. Now Cage is one of Hollywood’s hottest actors once again. The filmmaker said.
In the original film, Sean Archer (John Travolta) participated in a groundbreaking medical procedure that allowed him to literally wear the face of the terrorist Castor Troy (Cage) for details on the upcoming attack. Troy then made the doctor subject him to the same procedure, allowing him to take on the appearance of Archer. Both heroes engage in a game of cat and mouse in which only they know their true identity. The film was directed by John Woo.
We are really working on it with Simon Barrett. But we won’t share anything until everyone says, “This is the script!” This is probably the most difficult scenario we have ever worked on for a number of reasons. There is so much pressure to make sure it lives up to the legacy of this project. But in every draft we have these things that we say “This is really what Face / Off is all about,” said Wingard.
