Never in a million years did I think I'd live to see the day where Ron Howard's 1991 firefighter film Backdraft would be getting a sequel, but it's currently in development at Universal Pictures, and I don't know why.
According to MovieHole, the studio has hired Apollo 18 director Gonzalo López-Gallego to helm the sequel. Apollo 18 kinda sucked, so that fact that he's the guy directing the sequel make this whole Backdraft 2 thing even less exciting.
Oh yeah... I should probably mention that William Baldwin will be back to reprise his role from the original film. According to the report, the story will follow a character named Sean McCaffrey, who is the grown son of Kurt Russell’s character from the first film. He's an investigator with the Chicago F.D and still holds his uncle (Baldwin) responsible for the death of his dad.
