"Little Li Zi" stars in "The Wire 2" starring cast with big names gathering, raising expectations

There is new news about the sequel to the 1995 classic action film "The Wire", "The Wire 2". The first batch of male actors has been confirmed, which can be said to be a gathering of big names. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Austin Butler, Adam Driver and Bradley Cooper are confirmed to participate this time.

According to an exclusive report by The Hollywood Reporter, the film production rights of "The Wire 2" have changed, and have been transferred from Warner Bros. to United Artists, a company owned by Amazon MGM. At the same time, the film crew also invited Hollywood gold medal producers Bruckheimer (representative works include "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Top Gun") and Scott Stuber to serve as producers of the film.

The film "The Wire" was written and directed by Michael Mann and stars a strong cast, including Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer. The story is set in Los Angeles, where Vincent Hanna (played by Pacino) of the Los Angeles Police Department is ordered to investigate an armed vehicle robbery, and the leader of the theft team who committed the case is Neil McCauley, played by De Niro.

Macaulay has three powerful gang members, namely Xue Harris (played by Kimo), Cerrito (played by Tom Sizemore) and Weingro (played by Kevin Gage). In addition to showing the wonderful crime process, tense police investigation and fierce confrontation between the two sides, this movie also focuses on portraying the personal lives of the characters: Hanna is devoted to handling the case and does not get along well with his wife and daughter; Macaulay falls in love with a woman and faces the difficult choice of whether to abandon his principles.

The influence of "The Wire" is enduring. It has become a reference model for many works such as "The Dark Knight", and has also been included in the list of the best films in film history by the media. In 2016, the 4K Director’s Ultimate Edition of the film was released. Six years later, the prequel and sequel novel "The Wire 2" written by Mann will be published in 2022, and it has been determined to be made into a movie.
