Movies screaming for sequels.

With ALIENS.

Who wants to go wait in line with me?!

I wonder if the aliens will have ass-less chaps.

I'd love a sequel to Ronin as well. The only problem is John Frankinheimer is dead now, so it would have to be directed by someone else. Perhaps Paul Greengrass or Doug Liman ?

Frankenheimer is dead? Damn. I didn't even know. He is...was...one of my all-time favourite directors. Mainly because of The Train and The Manchurian Candidate (and Ronin of course). :\

I take it you suggested Greengrass and Liman because of the Bourne movies. Perhaps, perhaps.

A Ronin sequel by Michael Mann would be interesting to say the least.

I get the irony but not the joke.

It's not a joke... it's the sad truth! They totally ruined it!

It still was a movie that screamed for a sequel, unfortunately, it never got one... just this sad excuse of a part II and III.

Bye
Thanee

Yeah I was upset when I heard as well. From the IMDB:
<dl> <dt>Date of birth (location)
</dt><dd> 19 February 1930
New York, New York, USA </dd><dt>Date of death (details)
</dt><dt> 6 July 2002
</dt> <dt> Los Angeles, California, USA. (stroke due to complications following spinal surgery)
</dt> </dl> It would have been interesting to see what he thought of the new Manchurian Candidate.

And yeah, I suggested Greengrass and Liman because of their work on the Bourne movies. Those were both fairly well done IMO and in the same genre of Ronin. Mann could make things interesting as well.

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).

Wait, by that reasoning, are you saying that Luc Besson slept with the (too young) Natalie Portman?

I still am trying to figure out how the guy behind "the Professional" (great film) was the guy behind "the Transporter" (I want my time and money back film)

Silly like an RPG even!

Did you see Seconds with Rock Hudson? Great film by Frankenheimer and not as well known as it should be. An infectious sort of paranoia and creepiness that few directors can manage.

I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking 'man, what a weird movie'. Can't recall much of it now though. Maybe I should track it down and watch it again.
