Are We Really Closer To A SWORD AND THE SORCERER Pseudo-Sequel?? With Lee Horsley, No Less??

Merrick here...
Twitch has some information about a "sequel" of sorts to THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER. It's called TALES OF AN ANCIENT EMPIRE. It's been a while since I've seen SWORD, but wasn't this promised on a title card at the end of the movie? Seems Albert Pyun, SWORD's writer/director, never forgot that promise.

Tales of an Ancient Empire the new film casts Horsley as a mercenary general and father to stars Christopher Lambert - himself making a return to the genre that made him an international star - Kevin Sorbo and Victoria Maurette. There are offers out to a number of other significant stars of the genre but nothing is final on those fronts just yet.

...says THIS ARTICLE at Twitch. There are a few other details in the article as well...check it out. Twitch had this information last week & it fell through the cracks here. Thought it warranted mention all the same.
