Eric Bogosian spilled his guts to MTV about the possibility of an Under Siege 3. Check out what he had to say –
Eric Bogosian in ‘Under Siege 2: Dark Territory’Steven Seagal recently told MTV News that he’s been looking at offers for a third installment of his “Under Siege” series, which he would prefer to be more modern, even more sci-fi. If that’s the case, could there be a little room for Travis Dane, who’s faked his death at least once and perhaps didn’t actually die at the end of “Under Siege 2: Dark Territory”?
“He hadn’t talked to me about it,” Eric Bogosian, who played Dane, told us when we caught up with him at the Directors Guild Honors. “But I had a blast doing it before. It’s one of the most fun things I was ever involved with.” “If we could do it with Geoff Murphy, the director [for ‘Under Siege 2’], that would be a lot of fun,” Bogosian said. “Geoff had a great sense of humor. It took us a while to get each other. I didn’t realize I’d be dealin with a guy as funny as that, but once we started getting it, we were very in sync. So yeah, I’d be happy to do it again. It was a lot of fun.”
There has been a bunch of chatter lately about the possibility of another Under Siege movie. I saw the first one years ago, have not yet seen the second; but would be game for a third. I generally dislike needless sequels, but in the world of action and horror, they make more sense; and can be a lot of fun. I am also going to take any opportunity that I can to see Stephen Segal breaking limbs.
Who knows if this film will end up happening. I think it’s funny that people are letting it be known that they are game for another round. If their interest sparks flames of desire within the film community perhaps we will see an Under Siege 3. We have seen worse venture on the silver screen in recent history; could the world be ready to welcome Segal anew? Could Under Siege 3 be a triumphant return to glory?!
Make it so.
