Description
The Pink Panther 2 is a sequel to the 2006 film, The Pink Panther. In the new film, Inspector Clouseau must team up with detectives from other European countries to rout the daring cat burglar, The Tornado, who has returned after a decade of inactivity. In the newly released teaser trailer for the film, premiering on June 6, 2008, the movie is called The Pink Panther 2, confirming the name originally chosen. Steve Martin, who will reprise the role of Clouseau (originated by Peter Sellers), polished the original script written by Scott Neustadter and Michael M. Weber in November 2006. Columbia Pictures, partnering with MGM on the sequel, hired the team of Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel to perform a further rewrite in January 2007. Production was scheduled to begin in February 2007 for a 2008 release, but the film was subsequently re-scheduled for February 13, 2009 release after shooting was pushed back until August 2007 due to the Canadian actors strike that derailed planned shooting in Montreal. The release date was later changed to February 6, 2009. Principal photography began in Paris on August 20, 2007 before moving to Boston, Massachusetts a couple of weeks in, where it wrapped on November 2, 2007. Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai signed for the female lead as criminal expert, Sonia. John Cleese replaces Kevin Kline as Chief Inspector Dreyfus with Jean Reno and Emily Mortimer reprising their roles as his partner Ponton and his girlfriend Nicole. Andy García and Alfred Molina round out the cast as detectives, Inspector Vicenzo Brancaleone and Chief Inspector Randall Pepperidge. Spice Girl Emma Bunton will also make an appearance in this movie; she had originally bowed out from the lead female role due to her commitment in the Spice Girls Reunion Tour. Shawn Levy, who directed the 2006 Pink Panther film, was in talks to be the film's Executive Producer but bowed out due to other work commitments. Harald Zwart is directing the sequel.
