Filmmaker Gareth Evans is in the midst of post-production on the much-anticipated sequel to the Indonesian action thriller “The Raid: Redemption,” a film which became a global hit.
Evans has posted the first banner artwork from the film (via Twitchfilm), along with tweeting a bunch of updates about how far along in the production process it is.
Teaser trailer sent for VFX work & grading. Scoring done. Sound mix next. Aiming at putting it out around 7/11 Nov if all goes smooth.

Saving a bunch of stuff for the main trailer hopefully end of December early January.

Not planning to put too many clips out there – seems a lot of films these days are showing way too much before they even release.

We have 17 action sequences in the film – so there’s going to be a lot fresh material unspoiled by any teaser or trailer we release.

At most both trailers combined would equate to 3mins 30s. Last I checked – the action alone clocked in around 1hr 5mins mark.

No word as yet regarding when “The Raid 2: Berandal” will hit U.S., U.K. or Australian cinemas, though it’ll likely be sometime next year.
