The Condemned 2 (also known as The Condemned 2: Desert Prey) is a 2015 American action film directed by Roel Reiné and released by WWE Studios. The film stars Randy Orton, Eric Roberts and Wes Studi. It is the stand-alone sequel to the 2007 action film The Condemned starring Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was distributed via a limited release in the United States and to video on demand on November 6, 2015.
Similar to the first movie, the protagonist ex-bounty hunter Will (Randy Orton) finds himself in a game of death with several other contestants and is forced to rely on his skills and wits to survive.
On November 4, 2014, Randy Orton took time off from WWE television. New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis announced on November 12, 2014 that The Condemned 2, produced by WWE Studios and Lions Gate Films would begin principal photography in New Mexico.
The film was shot in Albuquerque and Zia Pueblo, New Mexico, from November 14 until December 15, 2014.[1]
Dennis Harvey of Variety described it as "a belated, barely related sequel generic enough to make the eminently forgettable 2007 original look like an oasis of cinematic personality".[2]
