Production
editIn December 2020, Frank Grillo expressed interest in reprising his role in the series.[2] By August 2021, O'Donnell announced that he had finished writing the script, while revealing the official title to be Skyline Radial.[3] The filmmaker stated that the plot will include a father/daughter reunion plot, while acknowledging that he may have some rewrites to complete in the future.[4]
In May 2022, it was announced that O'Donnell will once again serve as writer/director for the new movie. The filmmaker stated that he views the installment as the Fast Five or The Avengers equivalent in the film series, where various characters from previous movies will team up for a "bigger...sci-fi martial arts adventure." Principal photography was scheduled to commence later that year, with Screen Media acting as the international distribution sales company in collaboration with its parent company Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, while a distributor would be determined following a presence at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.[5][6] Grillo and Lindsey Morgan are slated to reprise their respective roles, with the plot centering around Col. Rose Corley hiring a crew with a planned mission of freeing her father Det. Mark Corley from an alien prison; while coming into conflict with the most powerful force in the universe, and alien race called The Radial.[7]
In January 2024, it was announced that the film now titled Skyline: Warpath had commenced principal photography in Indonesia. Iko Uwais was reported to return as Sua, with Scott Adkins, Louis Mandylor, Randall Bacon, and Yayan Ruhian joining the cast. XYZ Films will distribute the movie domestically.[1]
