Simon West - Con Air Sequel In The Works

Cage played a convict caught up in a mid-air riot on a prisoner plane in the 1997 action-thriller, which also featured star turns from John Cusack and John Malkovich.

West, who directed the original, is now hoping to bring the cast back together to make a follow-up - 14 years after Con Air hit cinemas.

He tells Comingsoon.net, "I'd like to do... Con Air 2... It'd be great. It's a matter of getting everybody together. There's so many people involved and it's about getting everybody to agree. But I'm going to bring it up to Nic. I'm going to put a bug in his ear about it. If the two of us want to do it, we'll go after the others."
