As the cinematic marathon at Berlinale 2016 continues, Universal has picked up the UK and Australian rights of “ID2: Shadwell Army”. Directed by Joel Novoa, the pic is a sequel to “I.D.”, a soccer hooliganism cult movie in 1995. It follows a police officer who goes undercover and infiltrates Shadwell’s revived hooligan element and gets involved in the political turmoil sparked by plans to build a mosque in the East London district. Novoa said, “Before shooting the film, I spent three months living with different ‘firms’ to understand their world.”
