Released in 2002, the acclaimed drama exposed the cruel world in which the poor and Black communities are forced to live in. The movie was praised for commenting on the fact that kids who are born into the comunidades (slums) receive little to no attention from the government, and have to endure extreme violence in all forms in order to survive. However, it’s been 20 years since the movie was released, and Brazil has changed a lot since then – and the City of God series will set out to reflect that.

That the problems highlighted by City of God are not over. Racism is still a very real and structural issue in Brazil, and people who are born into the comunidades are still victims of constant prejudice. The difference now is that more people acknowledge the problem, and make it a point of destigmatizing those communities. As Meirelles himself puts it, City of God “talked about the shortcomings of the comunidades. This time, it's going to be about the power of those comunidades." Collider can tell you that the City of God series is being developed by HBO Max right now. The scripts are being finished, and the streamer plans to film it in 2023.

@FlyHiii we feeling this or nah?

Has the OG cast been paid yet?

nvm out

Tumblr/twitter movie

Won’t hit the same

@Max

wtf

I liked City Of Men, the other sequel so might be good who knows theyre 2/2

they already did a movie sequel, TV spinoff, and documentary

seems like just another cash grab but I'll still give it a try

I hate this movie

"This time, it's going to be about the power of those comunidades"

So like most of Brazilian movies in the past 20 years? This is obviously made for foreigners, since Brazilians really dislike these types of movies.

why

HBO max? No chance this matches the first

OG is a certified classic, this isn’t necessary

fr the story wraps up perfectly & stands on its own as one of the best ever told

What? LETS F***ING GO

Might have to bring back Benny avi

hope this don't suck but I mean go ahead lol

didnt they already do a sequel movie and a tv show
