Last Updated on July 30, 2021

One of the big films we here at AITH are big supporters of is directing team François Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell's TURBO KID. And today we hear from producer Ant Timpson that an ambitious ROAD WARRIOR-style sequel is in the works!

Timpson tells Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast about TURBO KID 2:

Well look, that’s been a long time coming. There’s a script for Turbo Kid 2. We want to make it, that’s all I can say. It’s really a case of finding the backers [financiers] because it’s way more ambitious. It’s kind of like Road Warrior‘s step up from Mad Max. Its sort of that kind of ambition…you needs a little bit more money than we had for the first film. They want to make that a dream project.
