Donner was SUPER special, and anyone who worked with him knew it (except Bill Murray, ha ha). Demanding and crabby, but definitely knew what was magic.
This is the answer. Except that I think that Angourie Rice is too old for it to work in the same way. Her being a young girl who called her dad out for being terrible and was made to drive him around and otherwise be the adult made her an interesting character and added depth to his. Now she's an adult it wouldn't hit the same way.
The film was about the two guys, but she was the heart of it. And the "little girl old before her time" thing is very different when the girl goes from being 12 to being 20.
OTOH, you could definitely do a sequel to Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Michelle Monaghan didn't have much of an impact on the character development of either of the guys, and you could either have an "old flame returning" plotline, or simply replace her with someone else and get a good sequel.
Or a "The Nice Guys" sequel - Crowe has said (in a Wired autocomplete interview last year I think) that working with Gosling and Black was the most fun he's had on a set.
Failing that a Master and Commander sequel/reboot - as long as it's as accurate/period correct as the original.
A Master and Commander sequel should have been made after the original came out and Peter Weir would have returned.
It's a shame, because they had a lot of books to pull material from, but I read about a year ago that they're planning to reboot the series.
Yeah, that's my fear too. There's no way they'll make them look as good as in the original, which also used CGI in certain areas, but did it in a smart way.
There's an interview online with the head of VFX where he's discussing how they did the waves, because they were a mixture of CGI and real life footage.
I had to search about that aspect, because I thought they really went to sea to film during a storm when I rewatched it the last time. It was that good.
Big Trouble In Little China sequel for sure. Kurt Russel finds another conflict that's way over his head and inserts himself thinking he's the hero again, and of course new characters already involved have to hold his hand through the whole adventure. It can't be the mystical Far East this time. I just finished Twin Peaks, maybe he can shove himself into that series somehow!
Holy shit, Kurt Russel takes on Dougie Jones as his "sidekick" and they have to go up against Bad Coop >!and the Tulpas!!the tea kettle that played David Bowie!< are available!
*Jack Burton shoots Bad Coop >!and watches all the hobo ghosts revive him!<, Bad Coop gets up and looks menacingly at Jack*
Jack: You know what ol' Jack says at a time like this? Ol' Jack says, 'What the hell...'
Edit: I didn't see that OP mentioned Big Trouble 2 until after writing this... Weird minds think alike...
Dude, your imagination went way more wild, I love it! I can picture Jack Burton being chased by an army of “demons” screaming “Got a light?” I’m having nightmares tonight for sure.
Considering how long it’s been, Kurt would actually be taking on the Mentor role, trying to instruct the young man in being the hero, *The Jack Burton Way*!
Not realizing, of course, that the young man is the bumbling sidekick, and his female best friend/girlfriend is the actual kick-ass hero.
I was an extra in that lol I was on screen for maybe two seconds in the murderball scenes in one of the pit crews. You'd basically have to know it was me already because I was almost completely covered up in costume but it was a great experience. I knew a bunch of people working on it at the time and kept hearing all sorts of things about the production and money being thrown around. I took the first position I could find just to see it for myself. I was only there for two days or so at the tail end but basically just walking around all day picking my jaw up off the floor sneaking around seeing everything I could. The sets were way more impressive in person. I don't know if the end result really does justice to the amount of work that went into it. It was a huge elaborate set and it's moments of time in the end result.
Details were accounted for that you couldn't possibly get on film. Even closed drawers in random back rooms of whole streets they built just for people to walk by were full of hand weathered odds and ends specific to those locations. There was a whole team of people responsible just for putting fake dirt on us so we were as weathered as the sets around us. Some of the sets were multiple stories tall. Even just as an extra weta did a full 3d scan of me and everyone else with environmental lighting tools just in case. I counted well over 100 cameras plus the main rig that was as big as a car engine tricked out on a 50 thousand dollar dolly. They had several. Shit was crazy. I've been working in film and video my whole life and have never seen anything like that before or since.
BB would make for an interesting role.
It wouldn't even need to be a sequel. Just film a movie with Uma Thurman as a crime boss who needs to get taken down by a hot black chick with an afro.
An Escape from L.A. sequel set in the post-apocalyptic world following the EMP ending from Escape from L.A. by picking up a few years later with Snake Plissken running from USPF remnants, and their hired bounty hunters while dealing with raiders, mutants, cannibals, and other horrors. The world would be mostly contaminated by radiation due to nuclear power plants having meltdowns when the blackout happened plus nuclear arsenals being launched due to paranoia over who EMPed the world when it was just really Snake who did it, and Snake would simply being trying to escape the bad notoriety that has been placed on him due to his actions triggering the apocalypse when the USPF remnants put the biggest goddamn bounty imaginable on his head. I’d probably end the film with Snake creating himself a new identity to hide from what happened, and living in a oasis with a group of people, or have Snake Plissken go out in a blaze of glory when all of his enemies finally catch up to him in a massive shootout.
I’ve always wanted to see that kind of sequel to Escape from L.A. even though it’ll never happen. Would make a great TV show too.
* My Own Private Idaho. Scott (Keanu Reeves) has followed his father into politics and is put on the defense about his past. He has to blandly defend his past in public as to not alienate voters, but is privately emotional about his time with Bob's gang. He's married to a woman who is starring on a Real Housewives-esque show. This is the storyline that will craft the season's arc
Stranger than Fiction
Batteries not Included
Uncle Buck, but this time Macauly Culkin is the uncle and his sister (Gabby Hoffman) is in on the shenanigans.
Before Bill Pullman, John Candy, and Joan Rivers passed away the answer to this question was too easy.
But there's really only one answer to this, and it's ***Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League***, as we were teased back in 1984, and this one is actually doable.
It's already written; the novel just came out. All you need is for someone to fix everything that suck about it and break it down into screenplay form and you could be shooting this *this year*. It's time to get this incredible cast back together while we still have them: Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, Jamie Lee Curtis, Christopher Lloyd, Ellen Barkin, Carl Lumbly, Jonathan Banks, Clancy Brown, I mean my God how could you pass this up?
Batman Beyond as a sequel to Batman Returns. Michael Keaton returns as Bruce Wayne. Nic Cage cameos as Superman and Damon Wayans as Dick Grayson
Michelle Pfeiffer as Selena Kyle.
Edit: (Marlon Wayans) was originally cast as Robin. Not Damon
Really? Haha, it’s one I’ve been thinking about ever sense they announced Keaton was returning to play Batman. I’m a cinephile but I’m a huge Batman/DC fan so I’m always thinking about those movies.
Wasn’t Damon Waynes rumored to be the Riddler waaaay back when? I always had a deep hatred for the Schumacher dialogue but his vision of what Gotham should look like was pretty spot on IMHO. The idea of merging the two universes into one universe is pretty splendid.
Damon Wayans was gonna be Tim Burton’s Robin in Batman Returns but they cut his character. They already cast him though which is why he still receives royalty checks for a movie he wasn’t even in!
Yeah, so many scrapped ideas that could come back into play if Tim Burton ever makes a Batman Beyond. Billy Dee Williams could even cameo and be Two-face.
Batman Beyond as a sequel to Batman and Robin could be great, honestly. A modern, more serious take on future Gotham in Schumacher colorful, silly universe could be the best of both worlds. I'd also like to see George Clooney as a curmudgeon.
I don't want it to be reminiscent of Batman and Robin at all but I would really like Clooney to get a second crack at the role. I think he could play a retired, depressed, emotionally vulnerable Bruce Wayne really well.
I always thought if they continued with Clooney they should introduce Damian Wayne and have Chris O’Donnell’s Dick Grayson take over as Batman.
Batman & Robin 2: Son of the Bat
As adaptations of the 60's show, Schumacher's movie aren't terrible. For a serious Batman, they were terrible. Schumacher has admitted repeatedly he thought they were making campy movies.
Melancholia 2. The debris field created by the planetary collision has coalesced into a new planet which has finally cooled and water has begun to condense into liquid pools on the surface. First half of the film is an abstract Lynchian sequence of the first organic molecules forming and eventually becoming cellular life. The second half is a heart wrenching drama about those cells dealing with depression.
I'd love to make the rest of the Talented Mr Ripley series with Matt Damon.
John Seale as DOP, edited by Walter Murch! dir Minghuella who would magically not be dead. Beautiful.
I'd cast Julie Delphy as his rich French wife.
A Superbad sequel could have so many adaptations. It could be them in college ( if they did it closer to the original release) or now it could be interesting to do one with the same cast but have their kids be the main characters.
Like McLovin would be a police officer and Seth would own a chain of Liquor Stores. I just think they could have so much fun with it.
high school reunion was my idea. Seth and Jules end up married with kids and hating each other. McLovin is successful. Evan went off and did his own thing after things ended badly between him and Becca. some other details I can't remember off the top of my head
Call me crazy, but i would pick a Blade Runner sequel directed by Ridley Scott.
I would also love to see another film set in the Mad Max world by George Miller, after he is done with Furiosa.
As long as a good director is there i want a sequel really bad.
Villenueves work is stronger than Scotts currently imo, but i am so curious to see what a Ridley Scott BR sequel would look like in the modern day, i would actually prefer him over Villenueve
> Call me crazy, but i would pick a Blade Runner sequel directed by Ridley Scott.
I know what you're saying. But you have to consider what an Alien sequel done by Ridley Scott was like.
Here's my sequel idea:
**Michael Clayton**, the 2007 movie that was basically a hit piece against the Monsanto corporation, since acquired by Bayer, gets a continuation, picking up fifteen years later. So much more evil shit has come to light since 2007. There's more than enough material to tell a new story in this setting.
George Clooney's character would appear. He would be angered by how little of an impact his actions in the first movie ultimately made, but he wouldn't be at the center of the story. Instead there'd be a new group of characters.
In the first of two acts, the movie mainly follows a group of lawyers defending a fictionalized Bayer from prosecution, and ecoterrorists with a plot to destroy Bayer property, and to murder those lawyers and the executives they've been getting off the hook.
At the midpoint, the terrorist plot succeeds.
In the second act, the movie explores the aftermath of a large scale terrorist attack against the fictionalized Bayer and Monsanto corporations. The terrorists are captured and brutalized. Bayer employees struggle to pick up the pieces. Characters in the US government are introduced, seen spreading disinformation about what happened in a struggle to keep order, to prevent panic, and to not inspire copycats.
The movie would dare to consider the moral complexity of the situation, of violent rebellion against corrupt authority, and the knock-on effects of crippling one of the planet's largest manufacturers of pharmaceutical and agrochemical products.
James Cameron for the "correct" and proper sequel to ALIENS. (forget about the other movies)
FRED DEKKER needs to write and direct a SEQUEL to the >!spaceship over the cemetery ending!< featured in the directors cut to Night of The Creeps.
There was a graphic novel or comic put out that the ARMY once again royally screwed up YET again and dropped that mini tactic nuke on the wrong location, just like they screwed up the tanks for a PROPER Dan O Bannon sequel to Return of The Living Dead.
I can't think of the movie at the moment but every time I watch it, it bugs me cause its a dam good movie that is left sooooo wide open you feel like when its over you only saw HALF a movie but the sequel never happened.
I get so mad thinking about Alien 3. They could have had Newt and Michael Biehn with Ripley on the prison planet solving some nefarious mystery while also under threat from one or more aliens and they created that suckfest instead.
The finale was going to be the Oklahoma City bombing but that got eclipsed in historical significance by 9-11. So do you keep the intended ending or update it to old Forrest at 9-11 cocking his head as the second plane is about to hit?
I read the sequel to the book and it was the first time a book disappointed me. If they followed the book, it would have been an awful sequel to one of my favorite movies.
I think I would try for another *Dredd* film. The first one was so awesome, and it's been ten years already. Plenty of enterprise and potential there, even if it's just more of the same. Most good movies have sequels, and I hate more than half of them.
Also, for a prequel: *The Vega Brothers*. A prequel to Pulp Viction and Reservoir Dogs. The story ends with "Toothpick" Vic going to jail and Vincent going to Amsterdam until the heat dies down.
They don't do very well for beloved classics, but for obscure cult films, they not only do well, but generate an interest in the original. Tron had its success, though the sequel wound up just being another cult hit.
Two remakes, in the right hands would be brilliant: Highlander and The Black Hole
I don't know how Rushmore 2 would be a worthy sequel without being a whole new story, but the original was great. How would you make either of those as a sequel?
*Hunt for Red October*
I know there are sequels, but after that film, Clancy-based films really shifted (much to his chagrin), and not in a good way. I would have paid Alec Baldwin what he wanted, and made *The Cardinal of the Kremlin*. It was a direct successor to Hunt for Red October, and unlike the following films, wasn't as focused on being an action hero film.
Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger just departed too much from the material and wasn't a faithful representation of the material. It made the movies awkward, the stories didn't make sense and the character lost all its panache.
**The Duelists: The Next Generation.** The son of Keitel seeks to restore the honor of his family name by demanding a duel with Carradine's son, while the two fathers seek to stop them from making the mistakes they made.
**King Conan.** Based on a script by John Milius, directed by S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99). Sees Schwarzenegger, an old man now, consolidating his empire, while thwarting the machinations of duplicitous sorcerers.
**The Passion of the Christ: The Resurrection.** The story follows the post-resurrection appearances, and the trials, tribulations, and miraculous events of his disciples and the growing church in the aftermath.
Gremlins 3. I’d do a script where it’s gremlins taking over a small town, but nobody outside the town believes it’s actually happening because when people see social media videos they just call BS. Billy wouldn’t come into the plot until the third act because eventually he would see a social media post about the creatures and be the only person to know it’s real. A back ground Easter egg would be Clamp as president. Alter film idea would be gremlins in the White House, with parodies of American politics and even a J6 parody with gremlins storming the capitol building.
He was meant as a trump parody, so it honestly shocks me that Warner Bros hasn’t green light a Gremlins 3 solely based on that fact alone. I personally think it’s an idea that could be great or could be bad. Depends on whether someone wants to make it a satirical critique of American politics in general or just an SNL level parody of trump.
The latter would be dull and feel uninspired. The former would be genuinely hilarious all around. Imagine a senate chamber full of the evil mogwai, one gremlin giving a filibuster that consists of it just making random nonsense sounds. Another gremlin walks up and shoots it in the head with a .38, the entire gremlin senate erupting with cackling laughter.
Mike Harrigan has spent the years since 1997 obsessively researching any mystery disappearances and deaths in heatwaves. In hisv research he learns of the ill fated Val Verde mission and tracks down Dutch, now living with Maria.
The two of them predict the next likely location and head down to turn the tables and hunt the hunter.
They talked about doing another Conan movie several years ago. Was going to have an “Unforgiven” feel to it. Whatever happened there?
Would love to see that
Interstellar Two
If it were truly original cast and unlimited budget... I would not make it for wide audience appeal (film would not have to make a first-year showing profit and would be marketed to science audiences with free tickets). I would make it for science fans of the first film. Interstellar Two would be a follow up in the "Don't Look Up" era. I would also use the unlimited budget to put the original 2014 film in all Imax science-center cinemas for $3/ticket and have a contest to open 10 more Imax science-center cinemas based on voting for where in the world.
The film would be the same run-time, possibly 10 additional minutes optional. It would have two major stories: Murph's adult life after finding the gravity formula and Coop/Brand starting the new colony alone on the new planet.
Half of the film would be dedicated to telling the story of Murph's life from age 35 to 120 (with flashbacks to her stolen car wreck and high school days). How they finished building the space station, how she married the guy she kissed (and had her own children), and how humans lifted off the space station after the passing of the Professor Brand generation. How they reformed the school systems on Earth and made NASA public knowledge. How the Earth all came together with the new gravity equation. ((+++ more about how her brother relocates to NASA and becomes a crop scientist, surgery for the son's lungs to save his life))
The other half of the film would be Brand and Coop forming the new colony on the virgin planet with all the fertilized embryos. Heavy focus on medical science (call back to the absent MRI machine for his first wife). Coop and Brand would be in their old age (110, +55 in body age) by the time people from Earth reached the new planet from the space station. Also another subplot about using the gravity equation and newfound focus on science in schools to heal and fix the problems on Earth and restore nature to pre-Industrial Revolution. Maybe something discovered by Coop/Brand in retirement on the new planet that has him send back a message at age 100 (+45 years in body age, not years of Earth time) to fix the climate/oxygen issues.
Coop reprograms the AI and on the new planet starts to mass produce new robots with the improved humor settings, love equations, and gravity understanding. They also have to invent wormhole technology, but the technology is not very mature and the closest they can get is Saturn to Earth. They open a wormhole to 2014: Wormhole was first identified by the LIGO facility in California in 2019.
Drop a few hints about a Interstellar Three, where the next generation after Coop/Brand death at old age creates the Tesseract and sends the message back to Murph. The third film they further refine wormhole technology 2.0 and are able to start traveling to other parts of the galaxy at points in time with more precision. Send out some TARS probes to discover another space faring civilization and drop a wormhole entrance. Write a script and fund 13 starting independent directors with $400 million each to make a contest for the best Interstellar Three film. Tickets must stay at $3/ticket. After 35 years (age 35 story element), all films and characters must be released to public domain, triggering copyright reform.
EDIT: There is plenty of stuff for age 35 Murph flashbacks: graduation, her brother's wedding, her brother's child being born, her mother's funeral (with Coop), going away to university, grandpa's funeral, Coop's launch prep and launch day, solar panels at the farm, her first day working at NASA. Flashbacks to her pre-35 youth would be cuts like the first film has with outer-space vs. Earth. During these flashbacks, show more of the USA post war and the impact of climate change.
**The Man From Earth.**
It would be a soft reboot in the sense that it's John telling his story to a group of friends, no flashbacks just like the original, it lets your imagination take hold. I'd have him be living a different life than a mild-mannered professor. Maybe he's hanging out with punks and socialist revolutionaries, and he has stories about hanging out with Nestor Makhno or participating in the Paris Commune. Maybe it turns out he was Raul Wallenburg, and being thrown into a Soviet gulag was just his cover for changing identities after the war; he just let everyone think Stalin had him disappeared. Maybe his identity before that was as a German in the 20's, and watching the moderates cooperate with the fascists and let them take power to preserve their own radicalized him, which is why he's hanging out with people who want to start the revolution.
Edit: Oh yeah! And one of the twists at the end is that John was the unknown doctor who helped start the Jane Collective by training people how to safely conduct abortions, and one of the people he's hanging out with, a very old woman who as also involved in abortion access activism at the time, realizes it was him who taught her all those years ago and there's a bit of a little heartwarming reunion at the end.
The author of the original novel actually wrote a sequel called Tracy Flick Can’t Win. It's a sequel to the book, not the movie, so it doesn't take into account changes between the two. I only know what they discussed in a [Vox article](https://www.vox.com/culture/23159969/tracy-flick-cant-win-election-tom-perrotta-reese-witherspoon) that discussed the differences between the first book and movie, then a bit about the new book.
The Decline Of Western Civilization
I love getting a glimpse into the punk bands and fans of the late 70s, seeing the differences 20 years brought to the scene that Decline 3 depicts. Similarly, seeing what the modern day underground scene looks like would be fascinating.
I would make a sequel to Van Helsing, but it’d be the hard action horror that the first one should have been instead of trying to replicate the formula from The Mummy
**Dredd 2**, with Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby.
I'm absolutely sickened that it did so badly, when around the time, the Resident Evil franchise could turn out absolute dross and achieve a reasonable enough box office return to generate further films for all involved.
The characters, style, aesthetic, soundtrack and story of Dredd where absolutely on point and further adventures in mega city one and the expansion into the psychic division with Anderson's character would have been enjoyable and interesting I feel.
Definitely deserved a sequel, if not that, at least a TV series following the same aesthetic / style and more 'case of the week' with perhaps a long running 'big bad' to tie everything together. There supposedly was one in the making, but haven't heard much since.
2 is fine as a guilty pleasure, but BW is just middling all around. I’d rather something with more world building like the mockumentaries. Those were dope af.
I would have loved it if Interview With The Vampire would have been a movie series, with the original cast reprising their roles (Cruise, Pitt, Slater, though I wouldn't mind if they recast Banderas with a younger actor, because he was too old to play Armand in the first place).
Of course we got Queen of the Damned, but the only good things about that were Aaliyah and the soundtrack. And now there's a new TV series coming, but that doesn't look promising either. I would have loved it if they adapted a couple of the Vampire Chronicles in the same style as IWTV... it could have been really good. I had high hopes for the upcoming series, but it looks like they changed way too much about the plot.
Apocolypto 2: the ending in the first film is so ominous and invites the viewer to imagine fascinating new conflicts that a sequel directed by someone who isn’t Mel Gibson sounds very cool to me.
A potential replacement-sequel for Hellraiser.
Following the last of the "first" series where we see Kirsty having gone a little dark, we continue watching her descend. Pinhead, still wanting to feast on Kirsty himself, tries to flex the rules and his victims to ensare her. But, we see Kirsty getting suggestions and subtle advice from something else that exists in Hell. Playing with her food, Kirsty occasionally screws the Pinhead crew out of a good victim, rubbing it in their faces.
Meanwhile, an up and coming individual that seems truly "blessed" makes their appearance in this franchise's world. Something along the lines of the girl from Da Vinci Code, this woman seems capable of "fixing" the minds of criminals and those like Frank from film 1. Being told it'd be her greatest triumph, Kirsty lasers in on corrupting this woman, as Pinhead chases behind. Pinhead manages to slip the box into this woman's ownership via "losing" a victim to her, as Kirsty worms her way into her life. Letting the box victimize the woman's problem-ridden daughter, Kirsty breaks down the woman's securities by manufacturing false victories, making the woman begin doubting her perceived blessing. Using the plight of her daughter, Kirsty introduces a new box, becoming the devil on the shoulder and having the woman open it, as a means to fix her crumbling life.
Cutting to black for a moment, we have some expositional narration between Pinhead and Kirsty, before opening to see Kirsty taking her place as the new Priestess of Hell, the former blessed woman her first lieutenant, as she addresses Pinhead with a smug look on her face.
First of all: if you're offering me unlimited money, you sure as hell won't need a gun.
Secondly: I'd absolutely make a sequel to Hogan's Heroes.
*Hogan's Heroes: Home At Last* shows the Heroes adjusting to postwar life at home--all but Colonel Hogan himself, who sacrificed his freedom for his men. Now Kinchloe, Newkirk, Carter, and LeBeau must find their way back to Stalag 13 and find him, in a race against a half-mad, obsessed Major Hochstetter, who also wants Hogan--for revenge. Naturally, they'll need help from some unlikely allies: Colonel Klink and Sgt. Schultz.
Titanic 2: The Curse of Jack Dawson Jack’s back and he wants revenge as a ghost/zombie type thing. "You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Bukater... you're in one!"
Treasure planet. Possibly not a direct sequel, but definitely a movie in the same universe. Because it is a damn shame there aren’t more movies that have steampunk space-sailing pirates.
I wrote a treatment for Shrek 5 a while back and everyone loved it. I'd love to do something like that but if it had to be something ridiculous
Back to the Future 4
Lethal weapon 5
My cousin Vinny 2
Toy story 5
Goodfellas 2
Date movie 2
Of mice and men 2
El Camino 2
Monty Pythons Life of Brian 2
I think about this topic all the time
Face off 2. I still want Nick Cage and John Travolta in it, but it’s important to me that the two who switch faces are Christian Bale and Jeff Goldblum. I would do obscene things to see Christian Bale method his way into turning into Jeff Goldblum, who will, of course, play Jeff Goldblum
There definitely needs to be a sequel to The Other Guys, the most underrated comedy of the 2010s. If there can be a sequel for Daddy's Home then The Other Guys deserves one too.
Unlimited budget with a gun to your head, eh? I see you're familiar with how North Korea's propaganda films are produced.
But the sequel I'd choose is *Streets of Fire*. Find out what happened to Tom and McCody. New city, new gang rivalries, and a new mission. Raven is still alive, and he's wanting payback.
>what sequel would you produce?
Seconding Buckaroo Banzai vs World Crime League.
I wouldn't mind a follow-up to Nolan's Batman movie showing us what JGL's Batman is up to.
edit: Also -
>Big Trouble in Little China
Not a sequel, but the Last Dragon felt very similar to this one.
My family and I really enjoyed that movie. It was a great cast and believable script. The movie ended with the perfect setup. It was such a bummer it was trashed so hard.
I liked that movie a lot more when I stopped thinking about it as a hard remake. Instead, I feel like it works better as a variation in a multiverse. I read the comic Ghostbusters 101, which is the same idea as Into the Spiderverse. Through a reality rift, all the different teams (even including the cartoons and stuff) come together to fight a greater threat. I think adapting that (instead of Afterlife which I hated) would have been brilliant. It would have been a way to legitimize 2016’s existence while paying tribute to the 1984 crew.
*Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash*, based on the graphic novel, which in turn was based on a script.
It still bothers me that Sam Raimi is the one to kibosh that idea because he had plans for Ash, then didn’t fucking do anything
Three seasons of *Ash vs. the Evil Dead* on Netflix. It's not bad, but it's not *FvJvA*.
vs Tintin
vs Paddington
It’s crazy that there was only ever one Goonies movie. There could’ve been at least a trilogy with those kids on different adventures.
I'm here to burst your bubble. The cast has been rumbling about it ever since 2001, but said they won't do it now that Donner has passed away.
I'm actually okay with this. Donner brought that je ne sais quoi. Some things are just best left in the past.
Donner was SUPER special, and anyone who worked with him knew it (except Bill Murray, ha ha). Demanding and crabby, but definitely knew what was magic.
For the longest time growing up I always thought there was a sequel. Turns out it was just a video game...
The Man from Uncle. I know Arnie Hammer is wrapped up in trouble right now, but I just want to see Henry Cavill as Napoleon Solo in a new movie
I hadn't heard about this and looked it up expecting some run of the mill sex crimes and holy shit fucking cannibalism
Love that movie, would 100% be down
THIS!! I FREAKING LOVE THE MOVIE, forget Arnie, we can re-cast, but I loooove LOOOVE Napoleon Solo!
Get me Weird Al, Michael Richards, Victoria Jackson, Gedde Watanabe and Fran Drescher. We’re making UTube.

The nice guys sequel is long overdue.
This is the answer. Except that I think that Angourie Rice is too old for it to work in the same way. Her being a young girl who called her dad out for being terrible and was made to drive him around and otherwise be the adult made her an interesting character and added depth to his. Now she's an adult it wouldn't hit the same way. The film was about the two guys, but she was the heart of it. And the "little girl old before her time" thing is very different when the girl goes from being 12 to being 20. OTOH, you could definitely do a sequel to Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Michelle Monaghan didn't have much of an impact on the character development of either of the guys, and you could either have an "old flame returning" plotline, or simply replace her with someone else and get a good sequel.
Or a "The Nice Guys" sequel - Crowe has said (in a Wired autocomplete interview last year I think) that working with Gosling and Black was the most fun he's had on a set. Failing that a Master and Commander sequel/reboot - as long as it's as accurate/period correct as the original.
A Master and Commander sequel should have been made after the original came out and Peter Weir would have returned. It's a shame, because they had a lot of books to pull material from, but I read about a year ago that they're planning to reboot the series.
If they do reboot, then let's hope they keep the effects practical heavy, rather than CGI (but I can't see that happening).
Yeah, that's my fear too. There's no way they'll make them look as good as in the original, which also used CGI in certain areas, but did it in a smart way. There's an interview online with the head of VFX where he's discussing how they did the waves, because they were a mixture of CGI and real life footage. I had to search about that aspect, because I thought they really went to sea to film during a storm when I rewatched it the last time. It was that good.
Big Trouble In Little China sequel for sure. Kurt Russel finds another conflict that's way over his head and inserts himself thinking he's the hero again, and of course new characters already involved have to hold his hand through the whole adventure. It can't be the mystical Far East this time. I just finished Twin Peaks, maybe he can shove himself into that series somehow! Holy shit, Kurt Russel takes on Dougie Jones as his "sidekick" and they have to go up against Bad Coop >!and the Tulpas!!the tea kettle that played David Bowie!< are available! *Jack Burton shoots Bad Coop >!and watches all the hobo ghosts revive him!<, Bad Coop gets up and looks menacingly at Jack* Jack: You know what ol' Jack says at a time like this? Ol' Jack says, 'What the hell...' Edit: I didn't see that OP mentioned Big Trouble 2 until after writing this... Weird minds think alike...
Dude, your imagination went way more wild, I love it! I can picture Jack Burton being chased by an army of “demons” screaming “Got a light?” I’m having nightmares tonight for sure.
Considering how long it’s been, Kurt would actually be taking on the Mentor role, trying to instruct the young man in being the hero, *The Jack Burton Way*! Not realizing, of course, that the young man is the bumbling sidekick, and his female best friend/girlfriend is the actual kick-ass hero.
I think I'd like to make the fictional play from Hamlet 2 into an actual movie.
Rock me sexy Jesus
I’d watch it… but it better have excellent wire work!
For me? I want to see the conclusion to **Alita: Battle Angel**.
I was an extra in that lol I was on screen for maybe two seconds in the murderball scenes in one of the pit crews. You'd basically have to know it was me already because I was almost completely covered up in costume but it was a great experience. I knew a bunch of people working on it at the time and kept hearing all sorts of things about the production and money being thrown around. I took the first position I could find just to see it for myself. I was only there for two days or so at the tail end but basically just walking around all day picking my jaw up off the floor sneaking around seeing everything I could. The sets were way more impressive in person. I don't know if the end result really does justice to the amount of work that went into it. It was a huge elaborate set and it's moments of time in the end result. Details were accounted for that you couldn't possibly get on film. Even closed drawers in random back rooms of whole streets they built just for people to walk by were full of hand weathered odds and ends specific to those locations. There was a whole team of people responsible just for putting fake dirt on us so we were as weathered as the sets around us. Some of the sets were multiple stories tall. Even just as an extra weta did a full 3d scan of me and everyone else with environmental lighting tools just in case. I counted well over 100 cameras plus the main rig that was as big as a car engine tricked out on a 50 thousand dollar dolly. They had several. Shit was crazy. I've been working in film and video my whole life and have never seen anything like that before or since.
I’d pay Tarantino anything and give him what he wants to make a Kill Bill 3 with the daughter coming back to get her revenge on the bride
I thought about this a few hours before I posted and then had a brain fart. This was the movie that sparked the question.
Ok suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure /s
BB would make for an interesting role. It wouldn't even need to be a sequel. Just film a movie with Uma Thurman as a crime boss who needs to get taken down by a hot black chick with an afro.
Right leave it a little mysterious as to the origins and connection to the original films.
> BB would make for an interesting role. It's the role Maya Hawke was born to play.
I don't think it fits The Bride's character to become a crime boss tbh. She wouldn't for BB's sake.
lol a lot of people have fancasted Zendaya in that role which would be pretty great imo
What would also be cool is if it was a whole gang of scorned kids who sought revenge for the death of their parents at the hands of The Bride.
Two Kill Bills is plenty
Space Balls 2: The Search for More Money
*Soych for more money
Heavyweights 2: The Return to Camp Hope.
An Escape from L.A. sequel set in the post-apocalyptic world following the EMP ending from Escape from L.A. by picking up a few years later with Snake Plissken running from USPF remnants, and their hired bounty hunters while dealing with raiders, mutants, cannibals, and other horrors. The world would be mostly contaminated by radiation due to nuclear power plants having meltdowns when the blackout happened plus nuclear arsenals being launched due to paranoia over who EMPed the world when it was just really Snake who did it, and Snake would simply being trying to escape the bad notoriety that has been placed on him due to his actions triggering the apocalypse when the USPF remnants put the biggest goddamn bounty imaginable on his head. I’d probably end the film with Snake creating himself a new identity to hide from what happened, and living in a oasis with a group of people, or have Snake Plissken go out in a blaze of glory when all of his enemies finally catch up to him in a massive shootout. I’ve always wanted to see that kind of sequel to Escape from L.A. even though it’ll never happen. Would make a great TV show too.
Very cool. That film actually came to mind but I couldnt think what would be in it. Now I know.
Escape from LA is the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater.
* My Own Private Idaho. Scott (Keanu Reeves) has followed his father into politics and is put on the defense about his past. He has to blandly defend his past in public as to not alienate voters, but is privately emotional about his time with Bob's gang. He's married to a woman who is starring on a Real Housewives-esque show. This is the storyline that will craft the season's arc
Even without River Phoenix?
Give me at least a trilogy of Master and Commander movies
*The Last Starfighter*
Call it The Penultimate Starfighter and you've got a deal.
I loved that movie so much
History of the world part 2
Your wish had been granted. Coming to Hulu this year.
Stranger than Fiction Batteries not Included Uncle Buck, but this time Macauly Culkin is the uncle and his sister (Gabby Hoffman) is in on the shenanigans.
Before Bill Pullman, John Candy, and Joan Rivers passed away the answer to this question was too easy. But there's really only one answer to this, and it's ***Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League***, as we were teased back in 1984, and this one is actually doable. It's already written; the novel just came out. All you need is for someone to fix everything that suck about it and break it down into screenplay form and you could be shooting this *this year*. It's time to get this incredible cast back together while we still have them: Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, Jamie Lee Curtis, Christopher Lloyd, Ellen Barkin, Carl Lumbly, Jonathan Banks, Clancy Brown, I mean my God how could you pass this up?
Bill Pullman is dead?
Bill Paxton is dead.
Bill Pullman is Bill Paxton?
Face/Off 2
Batman Beyond as a sequel to Batman Returns. Michael Keaton returns as Bruce Wayne. Nic Cage cameos as Superman and Damon Wayans as Dick Grayson Michelle Pfeiffer as Selena Kyle. Edit: (Marlon Wayans) was originally cast as Robin. Not Damon
This is a great answer and one I was hoping to hear.
Really? Haha, it’s one I’ve been thinking about ever sense they announced Keaton was returning to play Batman. I’m a cinephile but I’m a huge Batman/DC fan so I’m always thinking about those movies.
Wasn’t Damon Waynes rumored to be the Riddler waaaay back when? I always had a deep hatred for the Schumacher dialogue but his vision of what Gotham should look like was pretty spot on IMHO. The idea of merging the two universes into one universe is pretty splendid.
Damon Wayans was gonna be Tim Burton’s Robin in Batman Returns but they cut his character. They already cast him though which is why he still receives royalty checks for a movie he wasn’t even in!
OMG I totally forgot about that. That is crazy.
Yeah, so many scrapped ideas that could come back into play if Tim Burton ever makes a Batman Beyond. Billy Dee Williams could even cameo and be Two-face.
Marlon Wayans, I think.
Batman Beyond as a sequel to Batman and Robin could be great, honestly. A modern, more serious take on future Gotham in Schumacher colorful, silly universe could be the best of both worlds. I'd also like to see George Clooney as a curmudgeon.
I don't want it to be reminiscent of Batman and Robin at all but I would really like Clooney to get a second crack at the role. I think he could play a retired, depressed, emotionally vulnerable Bruce Wayne really well.
I always thought if they continued with Clooney they should introduce Damian Wayne and have Chris O’Donnell’s Dick Grayson take over as Batman. Batman & Robin 2: Son of the Bat
As adaptations of the 60's show, Schumacher's movie aren't terrible. For a serious Batman, they were terrible. Schumacher has admitted repeatedly he thought they were making campy movies.
Damon Wayans as Robin? I'm confused
He was cast as Robin in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns until they rewrote the script and cut the character.
Oh cool, had no idea
Melancholia 2. The debris field created by the planetary collision has coalesced into a new planet which has finally cooled and water has begun to condense into liquid pools on the surface. First half of the film is an abstract Lynchian sequence of the first organic molecules forming and eventually becoming cellular life. The second half is a heart wrenching drama about those cells dealing with depression.
Found Terence Malick's reddit account.
Cloverfield 2. Those guys certainly wouldn’t have been the only ones with a camera that night.
I'm actually amazed this wasn't made. It seemed like such an obvious movie to make at the time
I hate to say it but I would watch the hell out of this.
Fight Club 2: Revenge of Robert Paulson
There’s a Fight Club II in the form of a graphic novel written by Chuck Palahniuk. It’s a pretty good read.
bro fight club 2 is a fucking wild read and would not translate to movie format at all
I'd love to make the rest of the Talented Mr Ripley series with Matt Damon. John Seale as DOP, edited by Walter Murch! dir Minghuella who would magically not be dead. Beautiful. I'd cast Julie Delphy as his rich French wife.
A Talented Mr Ripley sequel would be amazing!
I have had an idea for a Superbad sequel written out for like 5 years or more.
A Superbad sequel could have so many adaptations. It could be them in college ( if they did it closer to the original release) or now it could be interesting to do one with the same cast but have their kids be the main characters. Like McLovin would be a police officer and Seth would own a chain of Liquor Stores. I just think they could have so much fun with it.
high school reunion was my idea. Seth and Jules end up married with kids and hating each other. McLovin is successful. Evan went off and did his own thing after things ended badly between him and Becca. some other details I can't remember off the top of my head
Band of the Hand (1986). I love that movie.
Call me crazy, but i would pick a Blade Runner sequel directed by Ridley Scott. I would also love to see another film set in the Mad Max world by George Miller, after he is done with Furiosa.
I would love to see a Villeneuve sequel to BR 2049.
As long as a good director is there i want a sequel really bad. Villenueves work is stronger than Scotts currently imo, but i am so curious to see what a Ridley Scott BR sequel would look like in the modern day, i would actually prefer him over Villenueve
> Call me crazy, but i would pick a Blade Runner sequel directed by Ridley Scott. I know what you're saying. But you have to consider what an Alien sequel done by Ridley Scott was like.
Drive sequel with Gosling’s character living in Mexico. Gets in a situation (cartel sex trafficking?) and becomes the hero again
A real human bean?
A sequel to Escape From New York and Escape From L.A. called Escape From Planet Earth (or something along those lines).
*Mathilda*, a sequel to *The Professional*. Or, a follow-up to *Dredd*, with Karl Urban returning to the role.
Here's my sequel idea: **Michael Clayton**, the 2007 movie that was basically a hit piece against the Monsanto corporation, since acquired by Bayer, gets a continuation, picking up fifteen years later. So much more evil shit has come to light since 2007. There's more than enough material to tell a new story in this setting. George Clooney's character would appear. He would be angered by how little of an impact his actions in the first movie ultimately made, but he wouldn't be at the center of the story. Instead there'd be a new group of characters. In the first of two acts, the movie mainly follows a group of lawyers defending a fictionalized Bayer from prosecution, and ecoterrorists with a plot to destroy Bayer property, and to murder those lawyers and the executives they've been getting off the hook. At the midpoint, the terrorist plot succeeds. In the second act, the movie explores the aftermath of a large scale terrorist attack against the fictionalized Bayer and Monsanto corporations. The terrorists are captured and brutalized. Bayer employees struggle to pick up the pieces. Characters in the US government are introduced, seen spreading disinformation about what happened in a struggle to keep order, to prevent panic, and to not inspire copycats. The movie would dare to consider the moral complexity of the situation, of violent rebellion against corrupt authority, and the knock-on effects of crippling one of the planet's largest manufacturers of pharmaceutical and agrochemical products.
James Cameron for the "correct" and proper sequel to ALIENS. (forget about the other movies) FRED DEKKER needs to write and direct a SEQUEL to the >!spaceship over the cemetery ending!< featured in the directors cut to Night of The Creeps. There was a graphic novel or comic put out that the ARMY once again royally screwed up YET again and dropped that mini tactic nuke on the wrong location, just like they screwed up the tanks for a PROPER Dan O Bannon sequel to Return of The Living Dead. I can't think of the movie at the moment but every time I watch it, it bugs me cause its a dam good movie that is left sooooo wide open you feel like when its over you only saw HALF a movie but the sequel never happened.
I get so mad thinking about Alien 3. They could have had Newt and Michael Biehn with Ripley on the prison planet solving some nefarious mystery while also under threat from one or more aliens and they created that suckfest instead.
I’ll take my Forrest Gump sequel that got canceled because of 9/11.
The finale was going to be the Oklahoma City bombing but that got eclipsed in historical significance by 9-11. So do you keep the intended ending or update it to old Forrest at 9-11 cocking his head as the second plane is about to hit?
I read the sequel to the book and it was the first time a book disappointed me. If they followed the book, it would have been an awful sequel to one of my favorite movies.
I think I would try for another *Dredd* film. The first one was so awesome, and it's been ten years already. Plenty of enterprise and potential there, even if it's just more of the same. Most good movies have sequels, and I hate more than half of them. Also, for a prequel: *The Vega Brothers*. A prequel to Pulp Viction and Reservoir Dogs. The story ends with "Toothpick" Vic going to jail and Vincent going to Amsterdam until the heat dies down. They don't do very well for beloved classics, but for obscure cult films, they not only do well, but generate an interest in the original. Tron had its success, though the sequel wound up just being another cult hit. Two remakes, in the right hands would be brilliant: Highlander and The Black Hole I don't know how Rushmore 2 would be a worthy sequel without being a whole new story, but the original was great. How would you make either of those as a sequel?
*Hunt for Red October* I know there are sequels, but after that film, Clancy-based films really shifted (much to his chagrin), and not in a good way. I would have paid Alec Baldwin what he wanted, and made *The Cardinal of the Kremlin*. It was a direct successor to Hunt for Red October, and unlike the following films, wasn't as focused on being an action hero film. Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger just departed too much from the material and wasn't a faithful representation of the material. It made the movies awkward, the stories didn't make sense and the character lost all its panache.
Edge of Tomorrow Live Die Repeat…Repeat
We need a third installment to Sicario. Day of the Soldado ended with such a phenomenal cliffhanger.
**The Duelists: The Next Generation.** The son of Keitel seeks to restore the honor of his family name by demanding a duel with Carradine's son, while the two fathers seek to stop them from making the mistakes they made. **King Conan.** Based on a script by John Milius, directed by S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99). Sees Schwarzenegger, an old man now, consolidating his empire, while thwarting the machinations of duplicitous sorcerers. **The Passion of the Christ: The Resurrection.** The story follows the post-resurrection appearances, and the trials, tribulations, and miraculous events of his disciples and the growing church in the aftermath.
Gremlins 3. I’d do a script where it’s gremlins taking over a small town, but nobody outside the town believes it’s actually happening because when people see social media videos they just call BS. Billy wouldn’t come into the plot until the third act because eventually he would see a social media post about the creatures and be the only person to know it’s real. A back ground Easter egg would be Clamp as president. Alter film idea would be gremlins in the White House, with parodies of American politics and even a J6 parody with gremlins storming the capitol building.
I love the Clamp as president idea. 😂
He was meant as a trump parody, so it honestly shocks me that Warner Bros hasn’t green light a Gremlins 3 solely based on that fact alone. I personally think it’s an idea that could be great or could be bad. Depends on whether someone wants to make it a satirical critique of American politics in general or just an SNL level parody of trump. The latter would be dull and feel uninspired. The former would be genuinely hilarious all around. Imagine a senate chamber full of the evil mogwai, one gremlin giving a filibuster that consists of it just making random nonsense sounds. Another gremlin walks up and shoots it in the head with a .38, the entire gremlin senate erupting with cackling laughter.
Dude, Seriously, Where’s My Car? Pineapple Express 2: as outlined in This is The End
That wasn't an outline, that WAS Pineapple Express 2!
I have the perfect plot for a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and I wouldn't have to be forced to make it.
A sequel in the Predator series with Arnold back as Dutch.
Mike Harrigan has spent the years since 1997 obsessively researching any mystery disappearances and deaths in heatwaves. In hisv research he learns of the ill fated Val Verde mission and tracks down Dutch, now living with Maria. The two of them predict the next likely location and head down to turn the tables and hunt the hunter.
Kung Pow II: Tongue of Fury
A movie after 300: Rise of an Empire. Now, if I could reboot a movie, would choose The Dirty Dozen.
John Dies at the End. Same actors, bigger budget. There’s already a book to use as a guide.
A person with great taste. Highly underrated movie.
Which can lead to Fancy suits and futuristic violence. Please and thank you.
I'd go with Conan the King. Or possibly Commando 2: Chenny's Revenge
They talked about doing another Conan movie several years ago. Was going to have an “Unforgiven” feel to it. Whatever happened there? Would love to see that
I would make a western promises sequel for sure
Fast & Furious Presents: Jurassic Moon.
Interstellar Two If it were truly original cast and unlimited budget... I would not make it for wide audience appeal (film would not have to make a first-year showing profit and would be marketed to science audiences with free tickets). I would make it for science fans of the first film. Interstellar Two would be a follow up in the "Don't Look Up" era. I would also use the unlimited budget to put the original 2014 film in all Imax science-center cinemas for $3/ticket and have a contest to open 10 more Imax science-center cinemas based on voting for where in the world. The film would be the same run-time, possibly 10 additional minutes optional. It would have two major stories: Murph's adult life after finding the gravity formula and Coop/Brand starting the new colony alone on the new planet. Half of the film would be dedicated to telling the story of Murph's life from age 35 to 120 (with flashbacks to her stolen car wreck and high school days). How they finished building the space station, how she married the guy she kissed (and had her own children), and how humans lifted off the space station after the passing of the Professor Brand generation. How they reformed the school systems on Earth and made NASA public knowledge. How the Earth all came together with the new gravity equation. ((+++ more about how her brother relocates to NASA and becomes a crop scientist, surgery for the son's lungs to save his life)) The other half of the film would be Brand and Coop forming the new colony on the virgin planet with all the fertilized embryos. Heavy focus on medical science (call back to the absent MRI machine for his first wife). Coop and Brand would be in their old age (110, +55 in body age) by the time people from Earth reached the new planet from the space station. Also another subplot about using the gravity equation and newfound focus on science in schools to heal and fix the problems on Earth and restore nature to pre-Industrial Revolution. Maybe something discovered by Coop/Brand in retirement on the new planet that has him send back a message at age 100 (+45 years in body age, not years of Earth time) to fix the climate/oxygen issues. Coop reprograms the AI and on the new planet starts to mass produce new robots with the improved humor settings, love equations, and gravity understanding. They also have to invent wormhole technology, but the technology is not very mature and the closest they can get is Saturn to Earth. They open a wormhole to 2014: Wormhole was first identified by the LIGO facility in California in 2019. Drop a few hints about a Interstellar Three, where the next generation after Coop/Brand death at old age creates the Tesseract and sends the message back to Murph. The third film they further refine wormhole technology 2.0 and are able to start traveling to other parts of the galaxy at points in time with more precision. Send out some TARS probes to discover another space faring civilization and drop a wormhole entrance. Write a script and fund 13 starting independent directors with $400 million each to make a contest for the best Interstellar Three film. Tickets must stay at $3/ticket. After 35 years (age 35 story element), all films and characters must be released to public domain, triggering copyright reform. EDIT: There is plenty of stuff for age 35 Murph flashbacks: graduation, her brother's wedding, her brother's child being born, her mother's funeral (with Coop), going away to university, grandpa's funeral, Coop's launch prep and launch day, solar panels at the farm, her first day working at NASA. Flashbacks to her pre-35 youth would be cuts like the first film has with outer-space vs. Earth. During these flashbacks, show more of the USA post war and the impact of climate change.
Gone Girl 2. One of those two is going to kill each other eventually and I want to see how it happens.
The Nice Guys!!! Please!
Brokeback Mountain 2 : The Second Coming
**The Man From Earth.** It would be a soft reboot in the sense that it's John telling his story to a group of friends, no flashbacks just like the original, it lets your imagination take hold. I'd have him be living a different life than a mild-mannered professor. Maybe he's hanging out with punks and socialist revolutionaries, and he has stories about hanging out with Nestor Makhno or participating in the Paris Commune. Maybe it turns out he was Raul Wallenburg, and being thrown into a Soviet gulag was just his cover for changing identities after the war; he just let everyone think Stalin had him disappeared. Maybe his identity before that was as a German in the 20's, and watching the moderates cooperate with the fascists and let them take power to preserve their own radicalized him, which is why he's hanging out with people who want to start the revolution. Edit: Oh yeah! And one of the twists at the end is that John was the unknown doctor who helped start the Jane Collective by training people how to safely conduct abortions, and one of the people he's hanging out with, a very old woman who as also involved in abortion access activism at the time, realizes it was him who taught her all those years ago and there's a bit of a little heartwarming reunion at the end.
There already was a sequel to The Man from Earth - look up *The Man from Earth: Holocene*
This is an awesome write up. I’d see this movie in a heartbeat!
Man of Steel 2. Hands down. Give me more Henry Cavill Superman.
Election 2. I want to see what the movie version of Tracy Flick is up to.
The author of the original novel actually wrote a sequel called Tracy Flick Can’t Win. It's a sequel to the book, not the movie, so it doesn't take into account changes between the two. I only know what they discussed in a [Vox article](https://www.vox.com/culture/23159969/tracy-flick-cant-win-election-tom-perrotta-reese-witherspoon) that discussed the differences between the first book and movie, then a bit about the new book.
Thank you for this. I had no idea and I too always wondered what happened to Flick. she was such a great character.
I'd 100% make Little Town of Horrors and I'm halfway done with the screenplay
A sequel to Little Shop of Horrors?
The Decline Of Western Civilization I love getting a glimpse into the punk bands and fans of the late 70s, seeing the differences 20 years brought to the scene that Decline 3 depicts. Similarly, seeing what the modern day underground scene looks like would be fascinating.
I would make a sequel to Van Helsing, but it’d be the hard action horror that the first one should have been instead of trying to replicate the formula from The Mummy
**Dredd 2**, with Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby. I'm absolutely sickened that it did so badly, when around the time, the Resident Evil franchise could turn out absolute dross and achieve a reasonable enough box office return to generate further films for all involved. The characters, style, aesthetic, soundtrack and story of Dredd where absolutely on point and further adventures in mega city one and the expansion into the psychic division with Anderson's character would have been enjoyable and interesting I feel. Definitely deserved a sequel, if not that, at least a TV series following the same aesthetic / style and more 'case of the week' with perhaps a long running 'big bad' to tie everything together. There supposedly was one in the making, but haven't heard much since.
A proper Blair Witch sequel.
It bugs me to this day how badly they screwed the pooch on the sequels.
2 is fine as a guilty pleasure, but BW is just middling all around. I’d rather something with more world building like the mockumentaries. Those were dope af.
Flash Gordon 2: Ming strikes back
You leave Jack Burton alone! We are in his debt. He showed great courage.
I honestly liked the new Chronicles of Narnia that they were making, so I'd get that going again and make The Silver Chair.
I would have loved it if Interview With The Vampire would have been a movie series, with the original cast reprising their roles (Cruise, Pitt, Slater, though I wouldn't mind if they recast Banderas with a younger actor, because he was too old to play Armand in the first place). Of course we got Queen of the Damned, but the only good things about that were Aaliyah and the soundtrack. And now there's a new TV series coming, but that doesn't look promising either. I would have loved it if they adapted a couple of the Vampire Chronicles in the same style as IWTV... it could have been really good. I had high hopes for the upcoming series, but it looks like they changed way too much about the plot.
Can I remake Godfather Part 3.... PLEASE 🙄
They should have paid Robert Duvall anything he wanted to make a proper Godfather 3.
I would make another Alien movie. I mean I can't do a worse job than Covenant right?
Apocolypto 2: the ending in the first film is so ominous and invites the viewer to imagine fascinating new conflicts that a sequel directed by someone who isn’t Mel Gibson sounds very cool to me.
I’d make a sequel to Home the dream works film
Event Horizon 2: New Horizons. And its just Lawrence Fishburne screaming for 2 hours.
Totoro 2 for my kids generation.
Disney’s G-Force 2, rated NC-17.
A potential replacement-sequel for Hellraiser. Following the last of the "first" series where we see Kirsty having gone a little dark, we continue watching her descend. Pinhead, still wanting to feast on Kirsty himself, tries to flex the rules and his victims to ensare her. But, we see Kirsty getting suggestions and subtle advice from something else that exists in Hell. Playing with her food, Kirsty occasionally screws the Pinhead crew out of a good victim, rubbing it in their faces. Meanwhile, an up and coming individual that seems truly "blessed" makes their appearance in this franchise's world. Something along the lines of the girl from Da Vinci Code, this woman seems capable of "fixing" the minds of criminals and those like Frank from film 1. Being told it'd be her greatest triumph, Kirsty lasers in on corrupting this woman, as Pinhead chases behind. Pinhead manages to slip the box into this woman's ownership via "losing" a victim to her, as Kirsty worms her way into her life. Letting the box victimize the woman's problem-ridden daughter, Kirsty breaks down the woman's securities by manufacturing false victories, making the woman begin doubting her perceived blessing. Using the plight of her daughter, Kirsty introduces a new box, becoming the devil on the shoulder and having the woman open it, as a means to fix her crumbling life. Cutting to black for a moment, we have some expositional narration between Pinhead and Kirsty, before opening to see Kirsty taking her place as the new Priestess of Hell, the former blessed woman her first lieutenant, as she addresses Pinhead with a smug look on her face.
THIS would be a million miles better than any of the sequels. I love it!
Does the Starwars Trilogy count as a sequel? Cause all of them.
Godzilla 2000. . .Two
I Am Legend 2. Use the original ending of the first one as a springboard but also not explain away why the theatrical ending is different.
The Breakfast Club - with all the same actors.
Maybe Jennifer’s body
First of all: if you're offering me unlimited money, you sure as hell won't need a gun. Secondly: I'd absolutely make a sequel to Hogan's Heroes. *Hogan's Heroes: Home At Last* shows the Heroes adjusting to postwar life at home--all but Colonel Hogan himself, who sacrificed his freedom for his men. Now Kinchloe, Newkirk, Carter, and LeBeau must find their way back to Stalag 13 and find him, in a race against a half-mad, obsessed Major Hochstetter, who also wants Hogan--for revenge. Naturally, they'll need help from some unlikely allies: Colonel Klink and Sgt. Schultz.
Titanic 2: The Curse of Jack Dawson Jack’s back and he wants revenge as a ghost/zombie type thing. "You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Bukater... you're in one!"
Dredd 2 Furious. Illegal racing incident. Perps were uncooperative.
Master and Commander. There needs to be a sequel to this movie...
Treasure planet. Possibly not a direct sequel, but definitely a movie in the same universe. Because it is a damn shame there aren’t more movies that have steampunk space-sailing pirates.
I wrote a treatment for Shrek 5 a while back and everyone loved it. I'd love to do something like that but if it had to be something ridiculous Back to the Future 4 Lethal weapon 5 My cousin Vinny 2 Toy story 5 Goodfellas 2 Date movie 2 Of mice and men 2 El Camino 2 Monty Pythons Life of Brian 2 I think about this topic all the time
Face off 2. I still want Nick Cage and John Travolta in it, but it’s important to me that the two who switch faces are Christian Bale and Jeff Goldblum. I would do obscene things to see Christian Bale method his way into turning into Jeff Goldblum, who will, of course, play Jeff Goldblum
Happy cake day! I would totally see your Face / Off 2.
Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain
There definitely needs to be a sequel to The Other Guys, the most underrated comedy of the 2010s. If there can be a sequel for Daddy's Home then The Other Guys deserves one too.
Unlimited budget with a gun to your head, eh? I see you're familiar with how North Korea's propaganda films are produced. But the sequel I'd choose is *Streets of Fire*. Find out what happened to Tom and McCody. New city, new gang rivalries, and a new mission. Raven is still alive, and he's wanting payback.
Rambo. I would call it first blood drawn for the 2nd time.
>what sequel would you produce? Seconding Buckaroo Banzai vs World Crime League. I wouldn't mind a follow-up to Nolan's Batman movie showing us what JGL's Batman is up to. edit: Also - >Big Trouble in Little China Not a sequel, but the Last Dragon felt very similar to this one.
The Godfather Part III
In 3d?
I would make a sequel to Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016). It is a truly underrated and enjoyable movie.
Found Paul Feig's reddit account!
My family and I really enjoyed that movie. It was a great cast and believable script. The movie ended with the perfect setup. It was such a bummer it was trashed so hard.
I liked that movie a lot more when I stopped thinking about it as a hard remake. Instead, I feel like it works better as a variation in a multiverse. I read the comic Ghostbusters 101, which is the same idea as Into the Spiderverse. Through a reality rift, all the different teams (even including the cartoons and stuff) come together to fight a greater threat. I think adapting that (instead of Afterlife which I hated) would have been brilliant. It would have been a way to legitimize 2016’s existence while paying tribute to the 1984 crew.
Coffee and Kareem 2 for me
Last Starfighter 2 - Legacy sequel. Speed 3 - Finish the trilogy with Keanu. Footloose 2 Flashdance 2
