"Viggo Mortensen will star in an Eastern Promises sequel, according to reports.  An insider told Vulture that Mortensen&amp;#039;s co-star Vincent Cassel and director David Cronenberg are also in negotiations for the follow-up.   Steven Knight, who wrote the original film, will also pen the sequel. Eastern Promises 2&amp;#039;s plot is thought to center on Nikolai (Mortensen) attempting to bring down crime boss Kirill (Cassel) on behalf of Russia&amp;#039;s federal security service. The project will begin filming after Mortensen completes work on the big-screen adaptation of The Two Faces of January next year. Mortensen was first linked to an Eastern Promises sequel in 2010. Eastern Promises made $56m at the global box office in 2007 and earned Mortensen a &amp;#039;Best Actor&amp;#039; Oscar nomination.
