Wild Bunch Launching SPRING BREAKERS 2, New Films From Paul Verhoeven And Gaspar Noe In Cannes

While they've missed the chance to throw a 'boogaloo' into the title, French sales outfit Wild Bunch are looking to make a big splash in Cannes with the Jonas Akerlund directed / Irvine Welsh script Spring Breakers 2: The Second Coming as part of a slate of upcoming projects that also includes titles from Paul Verhoeven and Gaspar Noe.

The Spring Breakers sequel pits the titular breakers - who may or may not include the original characters, in a story which Wild Bunch head Vincent Maraval descirbes as 'not a direct sequel' - against a militant Christian sect. The new Verhoeven - pitched by Maraval simply as 'perverse' - is an adaptation of Philippe Dejan's novel Oh! which sets up as a rape-revenge thriller while Gaspar Noe promises to spread more skin across the screen with sexual melodrama Love.
