Movies screaming for sequels.

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

May I request a spoiler? At least a hint where to look?

Scene selection, last page, down from last scene. Click on ring. Same thing on first disc.

Coolness. Thank you very much...

Speaking of sequels, however, I wonder why there was never a "6th Element".

Luc Besson and Milla Jovovich are no longer an item. He always winds up sleeping with his leading lady from what I understand. Besides the plot of the 5th element was silly. The Professional, however... Though it would be missing something without either Jean Reno (sequel) or Portman (Prequel). BTW if you have never seen the international cut of the Professional you need to. A very different movie in some respects.

One thing to keep in mind about any rumors you hear about sequels/projects in hollywood, is that at any time there are proposed movies for just about every book ever writen, comic character created and sequels/prequels for every movie ever made. If you hear something is actually in production, that means something. The fact that someone has a script or wants to do something means about as much as the sun rising in the morning. They're inevitable and nothing to get excited over. Most of Hollywood exists to make sure movies DON'T get made.

I'd second Big Trouble in Little China. Unless KR is in his dottage, he can still do the movie. Remember he's the sidekick, NOT the hero. BB vs WCL though, Peter Weller is probably too long in the tooth for doing that, as are most of the gang. You'd probably need to recast everyone, which makes it unlikely you could get the same feel to things.

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.

Dark Age combat?

Dude, the CITIES were destroyed. CITIES. Full of unarmed people? Not the rural areas where theres people who have thousands of rounds of ammunition and loads of guns. Not the National Guard armories.

They weren't instantly wiped out from orbit, either--any survivalists had plenty of time to get out of Dodge to whatever place they had planned. The ships sat there for some time didn't they, some hours before they fired on NYC, LA, etc.?
I know about these kinds of people...so Dark Ages? How?

I'd like to see:

A new Ghostbusters
A new Independence Day
Another Indiana Jones
Another Big Trouble in Little China
Another Romancing the Stone/Jewel of the Nile (probably needs a new cast)
Another Punisher movie (but only if its guaranteed that there will be no Travolta. Ugh.)
Another Mission Impossible (action like the second, length and plot like the first)

There have certainly been rumours about it - 'Mathilda' was the title. The outline I heard was supposed to be kinda Nikitaish.

Re-read my post. *Civilization* dropped back to Dark Ages level, not warfare. With so many cities destroyed, power lines went out, most major communication services were rendered useless, the world's finest libraries/museums/science labs burned to a crisp, many industries were destroyed. So the humans would have to rebuild their resources from the ground up. But now they can salvage stuff from the downed ships, so there's a leap in weapon technology.

So its a prequel to Mad Max?
