Vertical has picked up U.S. rights to Andrew Niccol’s crime thriller “Lords of War,” starring Nicolas Cage and Bill Skarsgård. The early pre-sale deal for the film from “Coda” studio Vendôme Pictures comes ahead of CinemaCon next week in Las Vegas, where Vertical will preview the first footage for exhibitors ahead of a 2027 theatrical release.

Written and directed by Niccol, the sequel to his 2005 “Lord of War” co-stars Laura Harrier, Sylvia Hoeks and Greg Tarzan Davis.
