It seems that writer-director Jim Jarmusch and star Forest Whitaker are gearing up for a return to the world of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, with RZA – who starred in the cult film, as well as providing the score – revealing to Telerama (via The Playlist) that a follow-up is in development.
“Jim Jarmusch, my good buddy, and Forest Whitaker, have both signed on with me and another writer named Dallas Jackson, to executive produce another Ghost Dog,” said RZA. “And we already have something written. So maybe Ghost Dog will make its way back to the silver screen, or small screen.”
From the above, it seems the project is still in the early stages, and there’s no indication whether Whitaker will be reprising his role from the original film, where he played a mafia hitman who models himself on the Japanese samurai of old.
