Over a decade since the release of Gerard Butler's Law Abiding Citizen (2009), a sequel to the action blockbuster is greenlit by the makers. 

Backed by Village Roadshow Pictures and Rivulet Films, the sequel will have producer Lucas Foster and screenwriter Kurt Wimmer returning for the project. 

Gerard Butler is also backing the film under his G-Base banner with Alan Siegel. 

The first film revolved around Clyde Shelton (Butler), whose wife and daughter are murdered in front of him. When the killer gets off on a plea bargain, he decides to take the law into his own hands and exact his revenge

The plot and the rest of the cast details are kept under wraps. 

Rivulet Films' Rob Paris and Mike Witherill are producing alongside Wrap Films' Foster and Wimmer. Tristen Tuckfield and Jillian Apfelbaum will executive produce on behalf of Village Roadshow Pictures.
