This week, Ben Affleck is back to crunch numbers and henchmen's bones alongside his on-screen brother Jon Bernthal in The Accountant 2. But as much as the film's director, Gavin O'Connor, promises a threequel a lot sooner than it took to bring the latest instalment to life, there's also another project he's determined to get out of the pipeline – a television spin-off to his beloved MMA movie, Warrior.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, O'Connor revealed that he has had hopes of getting a show following the 2011 film, starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton. “If there’s any project I’ve ever had that is so passionately alive in my bloodstream, it’s this TV series. So I’m hoping I find the right home for it,” O’Connor revealed, referring to the film that is now considered one of the best sports movies ever made. "The DNA of the movie Warrior was two brothers on a collision course to fight each other in the Sparta tournament. So the series is called Warriors because we took that idea for two men and two women. There’s nothing like it on television, so hopefully someone can see what I have in my head.”
