The Football Factory director is in talks with Winstone and Drew to make a sequel which would be more international in flavour and could be a prequel story charting how Regan and Carter met.
The sequel would be produced by Vertigo Films [which Love co-founded], who are currently gearing up to shoot film musical Walking On Sunshine in July this year, with casting expected to be announced shortly.
