Liam Neeson Action Sequel \u2018Ice Road 2\u2019 Heading To Amazon For Around $17M In Biggest Deal Thrashed Out At This Year\u2019s Cannes Market So Far: <\/H1>EXCLUSIVE: The biggest deal thrashed out so far at this year\u2019s Cannes market is nearing completion with Amazon Prime Video set to pre-buy international rights \u2014 excluding Germany \u2014 to Liam Neeson action sequel Ice Road 2: Road To The Sky in a pact pegged around $17M.<\/p>\n

Deal isn\u2019t done but is heading that way, we understand from market sources. Germany has sold in a separate multi-million dollar pact to a different buyer.<\/p>\n

The project will see the evergreen Neeson headed back to treacherous and frozen terrain, this time swapping out The Ice Road\u2018s harsh climbs of Northern Canada for the similarly inhospitable mountains of Nepal.<\/p>\n

The Solution Entertainment Group is handling international sales. CAA Media Finance is repping U.S. rights. The Solution, CAA and Amazon all declined to comment.<\/p>\n

In the sequel Neeson returns as \u2018big-rig\u2019 ice road driver Mike McCann who, honoring his late brother\u2019s last wish, travels to Nepal to scatter his ashes on Mt. Everest. While on a packed tour bus traversing the deadly 12,000 ft. terrain of the infamous Road to the Sky, McCann and his mountain guide encounter a group of Nepalese mercenaries and must fight not only to save themselves and the busload of innocent travelers, but also the local villagers\u2019 homeland. Production is due to start in the first quarter of 2024 (meaning it should be removed from any bonding issues).<\/p>\n

Writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh, writer of Die Hard with a Vengeance, Armageddon and Jumanji, is also back in the saddle with Code Entertainment, ShivHans Pictures and Envision Media Arts producing.<\/p>\n

As we revealed back in 2021, the original movie sold to Netflix in a record $18M EFM domestic deal and was also sold to a host of international distributors.<\/p>\n

Code Entertainment and ShivHans Pictures is fully financing the sequel. Code\u2019s Al Corley, Bart Rosenblatt, and Eugene Musso will produce, along with Shivani Rawat of ShivHans, and Lee Nelson and David Tish of Envision Media Arts (EMA).<\/p>\n

Jonathan Dana will executive-produce, with Julie Goldstein and Connor Flanagan of ShivHans, and Lisa Wilson and Myles Nestel of The Solution. David Buelow of EMA will also executive-produce.<\/p>\n

Yesterday we brought you news of the biggest deal to have gone down in Cannes on a festival title: Netflix\u2019s $11M play for Todd Haynes\u2019 May December.<\/p>\n
