Trivia for The Nomad Soul II: Return Of Evil

Sequel to The Nomad Soul (1996).

This is the second film in The Nomad Soul trilogy.

Director Quantic Dream says that he made The Nomad Soul II and III for two reasons: one because he became extremely depressed after the box office failure and the negatieve receivement of Omikron (2003), he was considering to stop making movies and his wife convinced him to "start again", which Quantic saw as a way to literally start again at the beginning. Reason two was: he always had a big fascination for the world of the first Nomad Soul-film and thought that with his new profession as a filmmaker after stopped to have become an amateur he could make it even better.

The character Jimmy Gibbs is the only character who reprises his role from the first film in a main role, with "The Cult" from the first film making a brief cameo appearance.

The film was shot in two weeks, with the filming of the third movie starting four months later.

Director Quantic Dream said that this and The Nomad Soul III (2005) are films that come closest to the commercial aspect of his oeuvre.
