WarGames Sequel Now Filming

iluvcapra writes "This news is a little late, but on November 20th WarGames 2: The Dead Code began filming in Montreal. (I only became aware of the new production when I read that MGM is suing the rightful owner of WarGames.com for his domain name.) The film will be produced and distributed by MGM — distributor of the original WarGames — and directed by Stewart Gillard, director of such gems as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3. Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes, the team behind the original film, are not involved. The plot revolves around a hacker breaking into a terrorism-simulation computer."

    The owner of wargames.com should give MGM the domain, on one condition.

    They beat him at Tic-Tac-Toe.

    But if you don't see the movie, you might miss out on Jean-Robert Bourdage's performance as the hot dog vendor! And you know it's gonna be good, because only him and Matt Lanter have signed on to the production, according to IMDB.

    Hot Dog Vendor: Kid, you don't have what it takes to hack into a terrorism-simulation computer.
