Deadline<\/a> reports that Den of Thieves<\/strong> will be getting a sequel, with Gerard Butler<\/strong>, producers Tucker Tooley, Mark Canton, Alan Siegel<\/strong>, as well as Curtis \u201c50 Cent\u201d Jackson<\/strong>, and director Christian Gudegast\u00a0<\/strong>reuniting for another heist.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Shea Jackson, Jr.<\/strong> (Straight Outta Compton) is currently in negotiations to return as well. The sequel is being written by Gudegast from an original idea and will be distributed by STX worldwide and financed by Diamond Film Productions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The original film is a Los Angeles crime drama in the vein of Heat that follows the intersecting and often personally connected lives of an elite unit of the LA County Sheriff\u2019s Dept. and the state\u2019s most successful bank robbery crew as the outlaws plan a seemingly impossible heist on the Federal Reserve Bank of downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Den of Thieves 2 will find Big Nick (Butler) on the hunt in the streets of Europe closing in on Donnie (Jackson Jr.), who is embroiled in the dangerous world of diamond thieves and the infamous Panther mafia as they plot a massive heist of the world\u2019s biggest diamond exchange.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canton and Tooley will produce the sequel alongside Butler and Siegel\u2019s production company G-BASE. Curtis \u201c50 Cent\u201d Jackson will produce through his production company G-Unit Film & Television, Inc.<\/p>\n

Worldwide, the film has grossed $57 million so far.<\/p>\n
