7 Movie Sequels We Must Have - Or Not

October 12th 2008 14:27
ANOTHER LIST

Okay, so some, if not all, of these films will never see the light of day ... but it's fun to dream.

Shaun is a Legend

7. Shaun of the Dead
Possible titles: Shaun is a Legend, I Am Shaun.
Starring Simon Pegg as Shaun and Nick Frost as Ed.

After surviving the atrocities of the first movie in which his family and friends are eaten one by one by zombies, Shaun is now the last human left alive on Earth, and faces a new type of evil dead. He's still got best mate Ed tied up in the shed though.

The Natural Too

6. The Natural
Possible titles: Son of the Natural, The Natural Too, The Natural: Second Strike.
Starring Paul Walker as Ted Hobbs and John Goodman as Pop Fisher Jnr.

The son of Roy Hobbs (played by Robert Redford in the original) shows his own amazing talent on the baseball diamond, before he too gets shot - so turns to illegal street racing ... actually stop right there, on second thoughts, maybe not.




Ghostbusters Go Superbad

5. Ghostbusters
Possible titles: Ghostbusters Go Superbad, Ghostbusters 3 (not really that funny).
Starring Seth Rogan, Paul Rudd and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

The orginal Ghostbusters (Venkman and co) hand over their proton packs to a new generation of oddballs, who instead of getting slimed, they regularly get shit-faced and spew. They also try ot get laid, without much success, even in the uniform.


Captain Unbreakable
4. Unbreakable
Possible titles: Still Unbreakable, Captain Unbreakable, The Pain of Mr Glass.
Starring Bruce Willis as David Dunn and Samuel L Jackson as Elijah Price.

After discovering he has superpowers in the original movie, a mild-mannered security guard discovers he has a talent for sewing as well, so makes a cape and goes off to fight bad guys, including an escaped Elijah Price, aka Mr Glass. Smashing!



Forrest Gump Too

3. Forrest Gump
Possible titles: Forrest Gump Too, Gump and Son, Top Gump.
Starring Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, and Haley Joel Osment as Forrest Gump Jnr.

After having the freedom to trapse, and sometimes run, around the world as a swinging bachelor, Forrest now must deal with being a full-time daddy to an overgrown Haley Joel Osment (reprising his role from the original as Forrest Jnr), who sees dead people, famous dead people.


Hugh Jackman as Buckaroo Banzai
2. Buckaroo Banzai
Possible titles: Buckaroo Banzai and the Ministry of Sound, Buckaroo Banzai Goes Down Under, Buckaroo Banzai: The Musical
Starring Hugh Jackman as Buckaroo Banzai and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Emilio Lizardo.

Peter Weller is out as the main character and in comes Hugh, who's perfect to play the adventurer/ surgeon/musician. He can sing and dance too. This time Buckaroo must battle aliens posing as really bad '80s cover bands.




When Beetlejuice met The Exorcist

1. Beetlejuice
Possible titles: When Beetlejuice met Regan, Evil and Eviler.
Starring Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse and Linda Blair as Regan.

We see the Ghost with the Most on another adventure - and involved in another doomed romance, this time with Regan (who unbeknownst to him is really the Devil). No Geena Davis, and no Wynona Ryder. The power of Betelgeuse compells you!

Feel free to leave your own ideas

fun stuff... I think Ghostbusters 3 is coming along, right?

Hey, thanks Cibby ...

Yeah, apparently Ghostbusters 3 is gaining momentum. Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd have both been quoted recently as saying they would like to be involved in some way, maybe not as the stars though.

Unbreakable 2 also looks a possibility after M. Night came out last week and said he was warming to the idea. I'd welcome it, as long as it was done right. Loved the original.

I think that might be about it though.

Buckaroo Banzai was supposed to have a follow-up - if you remember the ending.

There's a Forrest Gump sequel in novel form called Gump and Co. But doubt whether we'll see it on the big screen.

MM,

Oh yes pleeze on the Buckaroo Bonzai sequel .. it was gone too quickly. Hugh Jasckman would be excellent choice *giggle* yep, can see it now.

Is that Jeff Goldblums character .. and who plays penny 2?

I'd like to see Forest Gump's son using the profits from prawn trawling to go into gates. And control Microsoft.

The perfect sequel. Just a collection of one-liners and sight gags strung together and disguised as a feature film. I'm surprised Forst Gump didn't come with a laugh-track to tell people when to laugh. It just came with a budget to tell people when to vote at the Academy Awards?

What a totally overrated, schmaltzy American film Forest Gump was. Which explains its success, I guess. That's what the American people love. And Australia follows suit.

Life is like a Wall Street Crash?

Give me Deliverance any day if you're going to make a film about American inbreds. Or a bit of Blue Velvet that exposes the underbelly of American culture, and only focuses on the white picket fence for satire's sake.

As to Australian inbreds? Give me films like Romper Stomper and Chopper over anything Nicole Kidman is in. Apart from To Die For. She does play a bimbo really well. I put that down to typecasting.

Interesting concept behind the post. Thought I'd throw something positive in just for the hell of it. Guess I'm just a bit Americanised out today. All the blogs are about America. I thought this was an Australian blog site???

Hi Alain,
Some of these suggestions are tongue-in-cheek, but I'd certainly be keen to see another Shaun.
Just saw previews of How to Lose Friends, and yeah, looks hilarious. Pegg's great and I've always got time for Jeff Bridges.

Hi Lilla,
Loved Buckaroo Banzai when I was a kid, and although the special effects have dated, it still holds a special place in my heart.
Could do with an update though, not a remake but a sequel, and I do reckon Hugh would fit the part as the suave, intellegent action hero.
I was actually a huge Jeff Goldblum fan in the '80s. Even loved Transylvania 6-5000 (1985).

Hey Lady Henrietta Muddling, I've got Aussie Hugh Jackman in there ... lol
As for a Forrest Gump sequel, we might put that in the Not category.

Hey Cheryl J,
I reckon we'll see a Shaun follow-up at some stage. Got so many zombie flicks anyway, why not another we can all actually enjoy.
Thanks for reading.

And finally Raquelle ... I actually don't have enough time on my hands. I'm thinking of giving up my day job ... lol
A couple of cents a day from Google ads should get me by I reckon ...
