The director of Human Traffic has unveiled details of the sequel to the cult clubbing movie.
Speaking ahead of a special 20th anniversary event held at the Tramshed in Cardiff on the weekend, Justin Kerrigan revealed that sequel to the 1999 movie filmed in the Welsh capital, will be "a reaction to Brexit" and that stars from the original move like Danny Dyer are back on board for the new film.
In an interview with Mixmag, Kerrigan said that the long-awaited sequel is "as relevant to today as [the original] was relevant for its time."

He also said that Human Traffic 2 will feature original cast members Danny Dyer, Shaun Parkes and Nicola Reynolds.
The director revealed a script has been written and that UK distribution for the movie has been secured.
"Human Traffic 2 is a reaction to Brexit," he said. "It’s about everyone coming together as one race – the human race.
"It’s a comedy about the rave generation set over a weekend in Cardiff, London and Ibiza. Human Traffic 2 is as relevant to today as [the original] was relevant for its time."

The idea of a sequel was first mooted in 2016, but in social media posts on Twitter and Facebook over the weekend those rumours are now a reality, with more announcements to be made over the following months.
Speaking of having original cast members Danny Dyer, Shaun Parkes and Nicola Reynolds back on board, Kerrigan told the dance music magazine: "When I moved back to my old neighbourhood in Cardiff I discovered Nicola Reynolds was my neighbour, coincidence? I don’t know.

"Shaun and I have always been in touch because we had a mutual friend in Howard Marks.
"Danny is on fire for the sequel and we’re talking all the time now – he can’t wait to play Moff again and I can’t wait to show the world what he is capable of. So we’re all still friends, and in each other’s corner."
