Director Statement
‘The Siege 2’ is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. It chronicles a series of major events after the first chapter that feel connected in such a strong manner. It also has some fascinating new characters and bigger, meaner action scenes. It expands on this world in ways we never thought possible and pushes the boundaries of what is possible for independently produced low-budget films.
