Layer Cake sequel is still in the pipeline, says Jason Statham - Movies News - Digital Spy

Jason Statham has confirmed that a sequel to Layer Cake is in the works, calling it "the most exciting thing on [his] plate".

It was first reported in 2013 that Statham would produce and star in an adaptation of JJ Connolly's follow-up novel Viva La Madness, replacing Daniel Craig in the lead role.

Connolly is adapting the script from his own novel, which is set more than a decade after Layer Cake and follows the unnamed protagonist as he returns to London, where his friend Mister Mortimer attempts to drag him back into the criminal world.
