Will we see a sequel?

Pitt told reporters that there’s a possibility a trilogy:

“There is enough in the book to pick up if this [film] works,” the actor said before director Marc Foster added, “We approached it with the thought that this film must work. And if it is a success, we will see and [maybe] set it up as a trilogy.”
