Hi, this is my first time posting on this board. I've been a big Steven Seagal fan since I was a little kid. The first movie of his that I saw was "Hard To Kill" which I love and is a classic in my house, but the "Under Siege" movies are my all time favorites of his. My question is, on the Internet Movie Database's Steven Seagal page it lists Under Siege 3 as a producer credit and says that the film is in pre-production. Is this true? If so I'm really happy because I've been waiting to here some official news on this film which I've been looking forward to for a long time. One thing that worry's me is that it's listed as a producing credit for Steven but not acting. I hope Steven is playing Casey Ryback again. I hate it when they make sequels with a different actor playing someone else's character. If Steven Seagal isn't the star of Under Siege 3 I don't think it should be made and I won't go see unless he's in it.

Welcome Evan,
If there is ever an US3 Steven would have to play Casey Ryback. If he didn't there is no way they could call it US3.

Don't forget, though, anybody with a membership to IMDB can post anything they want there, so IMDB as a source is extremely unreliable.
I'll believe US3 is a fact when I see it in a theatre near me. And that will never happen. I expect Warner Bros. owns the rights to the franchise anyway, and therefore, it's unlikely US3 will be made by a low-budget indie with it. Or maybe Steven bought the rights and he's asked Oblowitz to direct it?

Welcome Evan B to the group
Sadly Under Siege 3 is not "in-production" yet as the IMDB has been claiming for ages. A story about Casey Ryback on a power plant fighting terrorists has been floating around for a while but hasn't eveloped quite yet. The guys and gals on here are aware of Steven's upcoming projects in the near future and sadly Under Siege 3 isn't one of them yet. I hope he does return as Casey though as the first two films were superb, I don't think Warner would do it without Seagal in the lead though as the film wouldn't sell without its star.
Hi, Evan. Welcome to the group! I agree with what you said about disliking sequels where another star takes over the role.
The only one I can remember where I personally thought it worked well was when Harrison Ford took over the role as Jack Ryan in Tom Clancy's Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, first portrayed by Alec Baldwin in the Hunt for Red October--all three very good movies, in my opinion.
However, I did not think it worked as well when Ben Affleck took over the roll in The Sum of All Fears, as sort of a prequel, supposedly, based on Jack Ryan's first assignment in the CIA. It was a good enough movie, though, and I did enjoy it.
But I can't see anyone, not even Harrison Ford or Alec Baldwin
, taking over a role originated by Steven Seagal. Or maybe just don't want to see it. 
Enjoy yourself here, Evan.

No way, WBros would be totally out of their minds to ever do it without Steven...
The budget would have to be big for that, and I doubt they would ever, ever be succesful at drawing a crowd without Sensei in the role...
I don't care who they got for it, there is no substitute!

Under Siege 3 is definately not in Seagal's or Andrew Davis's plans at all(in fact Davis has denied that he will ever do this film). This movie would require a bigger budget(around 50 mil) and right now there is no studio throwing that kind of money into a Seagal film..He should have done it back in the nineties when he had the chance-Those days are gone..We will never see another US3. I would definately prefer he do US3 than the rumoured Ghenghis Khan(which has been reported to have a 50 mill budget). At this point though, I doubt that this will ever be made either and I'm hoping that its never made if they are gonna let this Ken Annakin(who is about 100 years old and has'nt made a film in almost 2 decades) direct it..I am still hoping that Annakin rumour is just someones bad idea of a joke..

Mike-At least The Annakin/Genghis Khan info is no longer on the imdb site.Perhaps the info was a joke after all.

If you do a search for "Titles" (Ghenghis Khan) on imdb you will see it and it now has lists of producers and writers along with the director- Ken Annakin. I just checked yesterday..
I think it still has Under Siege 3 listed as well but only with the writer but no director..

Hi !
I've been on a site called Counting Down Movies.
It's written that Under Siege 3's story is about Casey Ryback is sent on a plane which is hyjacked by Muslim Terrorists. This plane is a flight between Israel and USA.
If it's true, i think it's a big kind of the Arab Muslim Terrorist cliché and it will be a great flop...
You know i LOVE Casey Ryback ! but Seagal is aging and he has gained a lot of weight...
I think we should look at the greatest souvenirs that are Under Siege and Under Siege 2. I miss the nineties....

I think it could be great, the story sounds like executive decision to me...
Cliche'? Maybe more like true to life, unfortunately...I would hope it wouldn't flop since it would become a trilogy, maybe it would be a success...
I would hope so...Casey Ryback was just a man as is Steven Seagal, no surprise that things change...
I personally embrace Steven as he is, he's the same man, even more dignified and wise than ever, and I think his size makes him tough and attractive in many ways...
If he wants to lose than that's his perogative, I wish him good health, and success, and if losing helps that then great, but I will always love him and accept him just as he is...I think he's fabulous! I wish this film good luck, and hope this film is made...
I think everyone who is a true fan would really like to see Casey Ryback, again...

I guess all the rumors are true. Seagal is going to Under Siege 3.
I received a mail from my friend who is living in Sanfransisco. He wrote me Seagal will do Under Siege 3 this year with Regency.
Story: at airport in the one of the middle east country. bu no other details !!
Believe or not !!
