Sequel To S.W.A.T. In Development
Released in 2003 S.W.A.T. was a relatively entertaining but forgettable film that had a solid cast including Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, and Jeremy Renner.

This represented the largest opening weekend gross in the career of both director Martin Scorsese (The Departed $26.9 million) and star Leonardo DiCaprio (Catch Me if You Can $30.1 million).
