Movies screaming for sequels.

[jonesy]

I was watching Ronin once again and it struck me how bad I want this masterpiece to have a sequel. It feels like a setup for a trilogy of spook movies. It might be so just because Ronin is so stingy with details about anything (one of the reasons for its greatness), or because it ends in a shadow instead of clarity (the same thing really). Nevertheless this is one world I want more of.

What movies do you want sequels for?

I'm torn on that one, also.

Kidding!


How about a sequel for The 13th Warrior or Blade Runner or Zero Effect?

I'd like to see one to Legend, done by Ridley Scott again, of course. (by the way, just a little trivia tidbit, did you know that The Legend of Zelda was inspired by this movie?)

I'd also love to see a sequel to The Godfather Part III (I kid, I kid!)

Buckaroo Banzai against the World Crime League

At the very end of Buckaroo Banzai, there's a tag that says.. Buckaroo Banzai Returns in Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League. I would have loved to see that sequel. Alas...

Five words:

Plan 10 From Outer Space



Seriously, though...I'm so wary of sequels, prequels, and remakes that I'd just as soon they leave well enough alone.

If the current rumours about Bond 21 are true, however, it's got my attention. A remake of Ian Fleming's first Bond novel Casino Royale (a serious attempt this time around) directed by Martin Campbell (Goldeneye). It's supposed to go back to the terse, deadly Bond from the early films...and after much scuttlebutt to the contrary, Brosnan may be back for one last hurrah. If Casino Royale is the source material, it'll be the first time since the 80s that a Bond film was actually based on one of Fleming's novels.

A sequel I want but also dread would be Star Wars Episode 7 (and 8, and 9). Want to see them, but afraid how Lucas will do them.

Of course, the prequel we all want is Peter Jackson's The Hobbit.

I realize these aren't true prequels or sequels. Generally those are disappointing at best. Off hand, I can't think of any that I want to see.
No, wait. I want to see the return of Captain Jack Sparrow.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

A bunch of 'em.

Have you watched the easter egg on the second disc on the EE?

Independence Day...

No, really, hear me out: The aliens are vulnerable to the human's weapons for a few minutes, so any ships that couldn't be destroyed would not be. So we see a planet where 90% of all major cities have been destroyed. The surviving aliens decide to take over a secure landmass and regroup, so they take over Australia. The humans endure a Dark-Ages setback in civilization, but the advent of alien technology makes warfare that much deadlier. And DNA studies of the psionic aliens lead to wild talents popping up among the human race.

And how about Reign of Fire? I want more dragons!

I would like to see sequels for Hawk The Slayer and The Sword & The Sorcerer.
