Merrick here...

We've heard for a while now that talk...just talk...of a third UNDER SIEGE movie had been going down. Nothing concrete on any front, only whispers here and there. We're not even sure how far up the food chain discussions of this project have gone - presuming they've gone anywhere at all.

While The Powers That Be would undoubtedly prefer Steven Seagal's culinary specialist/bad-ass neck breaker to take on something like Al-Qaeda, Seagal is apparently interested in taking the oft-mentioned sequel in a decidedly different direction:

“I wouldn’t mind if it was about something more mystical or…maybe extraterrestrial in nature. Some real government top secrets instead of just the typical.”

...says Seagal in THIS INTERVIEW with MTV, which preemptively offers the following embed as evidence:

Maybe he can be the cafeteria boss on the first U.S. moon base and beat down Chinese infiltrators? Or, maybe he could run the ship's galley during humanity's first Mars mission...but has to crack some Martian skulls when the little green bastards try to keep us from reaching the Red Planet? Or a Roswell(ish) cover-up thing?

The possibilities are boundless, and I'm giddy with glee. Of course, he did also express interest in "mythical"...so the whole thing could go NATIONAL TREASURE or INDY on us instead. Or, most likely, we'll just get "the typical".

He needs a sidekick now. Who should it be?
