‘L.A. Confidential’ Rejected Sequel Would Have Starred Chadwick Boseman

It was recently reported that Warner Bros. turned down a sequel to Curtis Hanson’s L.A. Confidential. The 1997 film was an instant classic, but it seems the studio wasn’t keen to continuing the story.

The Ringer reported:

“A few years ago, the Oscar-winning filmmaker Brian Helgeland went to Warner Bros. with what seemed like a dynamite movie pitch: a sequel to ‘L.A. Confidential,’ the 1997 Hollywood cop drama he co-wrote with director Curtis Hanson. Helgeland had already secured a top-tier cast, including returning ‘Confidential’ costars Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce, alongside Chadwick Boseman, who’d be playing a young police officer. He’d developed a new story with ‘L.A. Confidential’ novelist James Ellroy, one that would be set in the mid-’70s.”

Helgeland didn’t reveal any plot details, all he said was:

“We worked the whole thing out. It was great. And Warners passed.”
