Prequels, Sequels, Remakes & Reboots

Came across a couple of articles today letting it known that the script for Ghostbusters 3 is ready.

I'll admit, I'm looking forward to this.

 

I want a sequel to Willow. A prequel to Legend and a reboot of School Ties.

 

are we going to get the original crew?


They were gold and it will be hard to go around them.

 

From one that I read, the guy that would direct it said that he has roles in it for all the original cast members, plus some roles for some new actors/comedians as new hires.

 

That's interesting, guess I never really thought about a sequel to Willow. I remember watching it as a kid, it was a favorite of my mom's. Never know in this day in age what may be in the Hollywood machine.

A School Ties reboot would be good for today. They could keep it the same or update it with some of today's social issues.

 

they need to make a district 9 II. i need to know if christopher comes back and turns wikus back into a human

 

Way to ruin the movie for me big boobs McGee.

 

When I was a little kid that movie hit me hard. School Ties was powerful man. The only movie that Bredan Fraiser acted well in.

 

I swear I heard something about them making a sequel to District 9.

 

Stills from semi remake of John Carpenter's version of The Thing. Pictures start at :18 second mark.

A friend of mine told me he heard they were thinking of doing a prequel, rather than a sequel and show why/how the aliens came to Earth in the first place. I would personally rather see a sequel where Christopher comes back with a fleet of armed prawns ready for war.

 

lol...sorry fan...i tend to have a habit of doing that...!!! it's never deliberate though

here's hoping

 

i hadn't thought of that angle...i thought of a fleet coming back to rescue the prawns and fixing wikus, but the war bit never came to mind

 

I think that is something I would consider doing if it were me. After being treated like crap by humans, watching the ones I care about get tortured and killed, I would be ready for a nice cold glass of revenge.

 

those guys are too old IMO, to be running around fighting ghosts (seriously, Harold Ramis did NOT age well)

they were looking damn-near middle aged when the original ones came out

i do admit it's going to be hard enjoying another one without them, because true fans deserved a sequel a few years after the second one, while all of the original actors were still well-preserved. some of the essence is lost because of that

 

Well, if everyone does sign on with it, maybe it will be more of a passing of the torch kind of movie. Maybe the originals will become mentors to the newbies. I watched an interview a couple of weeks ago with Dan Aykroyd for Yogi Bear and he said something about Anna Faris filling a role as a newbie to the team. Don't know how true that is though.

 

hey if Nick Fury is black now, they may as well put in a female ghost buster

 

Even if I heard that there was gonna be a "Lethal Weapon 5" it really wouldn't even surprise me.


Hollywood is so out of ideas it's sad.

 

Amen!

 

I definately think this plays some part in it. I also think they know there is money in it too. A lot of people want to see some stories continued on, as there are also directors out there that believe they can do a better job with certain stories that already exist.

I will say that it is refreshing when a nice piece of original work is done. Like District 9, Cloverfield, Avatar (depending on what side of the coin you're on), The Proposal, etc.
