Last September, we were thrilled to share a small yet significant piece of news: Jasmila Žbanić was preparing a sequel to her acclaimed film in 2020’s Quo Vadis, Aida? (read our ★★★★ star review), which was selected at the Venice Film Festival. Now, Variety has picked up on this and is touting it as an exclusive scoop. Nowhere in their article were they able to confirm the actual title (we still assume that it is Quo Vadis, Aida?: The Missing Piece) however we now learn that the Bosnian filmmaker will explore the aftermath of the tragic consequences of the 1990s Bosnian War — essentially wives/mothers uniting together after the genocide of thousands of husbands and sons. Žbanić who is coming off of directing television work including an episode of “The Last of Us,” is most probably going to move into production sometime next year, with a 2026 roll-out.
