Sequel Of Choice
 

If you could have a direct sequel to any movie ever, whether or not parties involved have passed away, regardless of who holds the licenses, etc, what would it be? Put the TMNT aside, though.

The film I'd most love to see is Super Mario Bros. 2. The SMB movie is probably my all-time favorite, next to the turtle trilogy. I really can't wrap my head around how it's so hated. If the games didn't exist & that flick came out as is, it'd be considered a cult classic today. Folks only trash it because it's nothing like the video games, but that's the fun of it! It's mad original, really bizarre, very aesthetically pleasing & absolutely a product of it's time. The soundtrack, cast, set/clothing design, animatronics & puppetry are all super rad. It had a sort of cliffhanger ending, & I spent most of my youth waiting on bated breath for the sequel that never was & never would be, having no idea that it was universally panned. A return to that universe with Yoshi at their disposal would've been ridiculously dope, to me. Fun fact: The Mushroom Kingdom was built/shot in the same place as The Foot's headquarters, a cement factory in NC. Wanna visit one day.

I'd love it if we had gotten Gremlins 3, Ghostbusters 3, Rush Hour 4, & maybe Batteries Not Included 2, as well.

I would have liked a sequel to Speed Racer. Dredd, too, but they're both considered failures. Boo.

Flight of the Navigator or The Cat From Outer Space. Two of my favorite movies as a kid, and would have loved if the Mouse House had followed up on those.

I would have rather have seen Spider-Man 4 than Amazing Spider-Man. It would resolve plot threads and give us a mix of everything in a way only Raimi could deliver. It would have been nice to see a script for the film if anything.


I would be interested in seeing a Face/Off sequel. Perhaps have Castor Troy's son take after his father's terrorist ways and want revenge on his step father. It would make sense to happen.

Tropic Thunder 2. I do not know what the plot for this one would be, but its bound to hilarious.

Besides Serenity? :P

The rational part of my brain says it's best to leave it alone, but... if I have to pick one...

If they could recapture the magic, I'd really like to see a followup to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The keyword is "if". But that movie was so, so good, and I feel like checking in on Harry and Perry 10 years later, even deeper in neo-noir style Hollywood seediness, could be a lot of fun.

I really want a sequel to Prometheus. Recent reports have Ridley Scott scheduled to start shooting Prometheus 2 in January but I won't believe it until I see it. There were some problems with the first one but I instantly wanted to see Shaw and David head to the Engineer's home when the movie was over. I hope they steer away from trying to tie it into the Alien mythology and just focus on getting the story right without the tie-ins.

A sequel I know I'll never get is John Carter.

Can't think of any off hand....maybe a Mrs. Doubtfire sequel, but it ended well enough...and Gremlins 3 if they had a good story.

I do however feel, like a co-worker of mine, that it'd be awesome to visit alternate dimensions where things like Superman Lives and the Will Smith as Neo Matrix movie was made.

Maybe a 2nd Season of Next Mutation...would that count?

John Carter of Mars was going to be the name of the sequel to JC IIRC. And yeah that's my choice. It'll never happen since Disney abandoned the rights, the good news is technically John Carter is in the public domain so a new chance of JC hitting it big is a possibility. I actually really liked the Disney version, the casting, the effects, the changes in the story, the soundtrack but oh well.

We may still be getting this one, even with the new Rush Hour TV that is being filmed now. I kind of want RH4 but I'm not sure why because even though I am a huge Jackie fan I hated 2 and 3. I guess Chris Tucker/Jackie Chan still had some lolworth dialog even if the movies were terrible.

I doubt I could stomach a season 2 , but I am curious if April O'Neil, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Casey Jones would appear as rumored. Also put an end to the Dragon Lord plot. Maybe send Venus back to China where she belongs?

Lost In Space. The movie did poorly when it was released in theaters back in 1998. Since Hollywood chooses to do either remakes or sequels of older movies, then let them reboot LiS.

As Cure mentioned, I wouldn't mind seeing another Dredd movie being done (should that ever happen.)

Speed Racer definitely. Ghostbusters 3 also.

Hellboy 3 cause they need to finish the franchise. Even Ron Perlman who really doesn't want to go through the makeup again feels like he owes one more movie.


I would have said Evil Dead 4 but we are getting Ash Vs Evil Dead so thats good.

Ghostbuster's 3 would have been nice instead of this crappy reboot.I would have rather had the sons take over the family business.

Where we Bebop & Rocksteady rumored? I've never once heard/seen that & I'm a big fan of the series. Casey & April were, for sure, they even had concept art, but I highly doubt B&R would've been involved. The costs for that + a lack of support from Eastman & Laird makes it seem a given they'd not even be considered...

Word, but without Harold Ramis there's no point. I'd have loved a Ghostbusters 3 a few years ago, using the game's story, but not now. Just let it die.

I dunno, I doubt it. Jackie's not really for it. If you Google Rush Hour 4 & peep the most recent interviews with him, he says he'd need a good reason & doesn't believe there is one.

My list above would most definitely have included Beetlejuice & Pee-wee's stuff, but since they're both abut to get new installments, there's no need. :)

Oh yeah, I would have liked a sequel to the Evil Dead reboot. I liked that movie a lot.

Ya I can't wait for Pee Wee's Big Holiday and Beetlejuice 2. i also agree after the video game they should have left Ghostbusters alone. But hollywood can't do that.

I read it years and years ago on the Ring of Green when I researched the cancelation of the series. The henchmutants, April, and Casey Jones were set to appear in a second season. The knowledge bit just sticks out. I can ask Dan Berger if he has any insight if you are curious enough. I know I would not pill that random, but out of this air. I would have preferred Rat King to those two in the show personally.

The Losers. So unfairly underrated.

Spaceballs. Mel Brooks owes me a sequel, dammit! It was even rumored to be in the works several years ago, but sadly, never got anywhere. Not sure who would take Candy's place, if anyone, but.... I REALLY want to see it happen.

Hell Boy 3
John Carter 2

*They say they are being worked on but I will believe it when I see it.:lol:

There are more but that is what comes to mind right now.

Off the top of the head - Serenity, Dredd, Dog Soldiers, Gremlins 3, Goonies, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Galaxy Quest, True Lies.

You can't make a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire without Robin Williams, God rest his soul.

Again, you can't make Ghostbusters 3 without Harold Ramis. Plus Bill Murray flat out refuses to do it, so. :P
