Where's the sequel to.....?
 

OK I thought the Planet of the Apes 2001 ending implied a sequel for sure. Here are some other movies where I thought a 2nd installment was practically a given :

A Bug's Life 2
Starship Troopers 2
X-Files 2
Spiderman 2
Hulk 2
Monsters Inc 2
Nemo 2
ID4 2
Toy Story 3 (ok not a 2nd but still would be a big money maker)

All of these movies beg for sequels and it would be relatively easy to write good sequels for them. So where are they?

It's lack in pleasing the audiance also implied no sequel to follow.

Pixar has a few other projects to work on before this is ever an option.

Direct to Video

Possible

July 04

Didn't do as well as universal would have hoped

Again, give Pixar some time.

They are waiting for a new Mac machine to promote before making this one..

Deals fell through with disney and pixar, so this one would be some time away if ever.

Maybe not, but a movie with an open ending that makes a $360 million worldwide gross is most likely going to have a sequel. That said, the main issue with Planet of the Apes was Tim Burton not being pleased with the studio, and refusing to be tied to a sequel. It could very well still happen, however.

Mac and Me. At the end of the film, Mac says, "I'm be back" or something like that. Anyone remember that movie?

And follow suit to the POTA sequels of the past. The ending was half fast and thrown in. Can anyone really say why burton through it in? (this coming from a burton fanatic)

... to this thread?

(... er, I mean prequel.)

Yes that ending to the burton POTA was lame to say the least,one of the worst endings i have ever seen,very implausible,it made no sense,there was really no way it could happen,it looked like burton just threw it in to say wow look at this the original had a twist ending now this one does too

As much as I would love to see Goonies 2 I dont think they should ruin such a classic film.

Maybe we can get Howard the Duck Returns in the future...

ID4, for being crap, should have had a sequel. I thought it would have gotten good in another movie.

What about Thunder In Paradise 2, Brother?

I think MY COUSIN VINNY was very deserved of a sequel.
Could have helped pesci's film career which has languished since the early 90s.

Super Mario Bros.

Planet of the Apes was recently confirmed as a sequel. Burton said he had nothing to do with it, but Marky Mark was going to be in it.

June 1st, the Special Edition DVD hits stores.

IIRC there's a diagram on the DVD set that shows the timeline. If you can think four-dimensionally it makes perfect sense.

I was always dying for some sort of <i>Pretty Woman</i> sequel. <i>Runaway Bride</i> didn't really cut it for me.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!


Does it go on to explain why everything in Washington D.C. looks exactly the same, right down to the "APEraham Lincoln Memorial"?

Thought that was Implausible, Cheesy and Lazy all at the same time. LAME!!

I mean c'mon, if they wanna play around with timelines and such, fine, Time travel stories always get some sort of credibility buffer. But, am I supposed to believe that Ape Society would have mirrored human society in every single way? Right down to the freakin monuments and outfits and vehicles? I think that ending was Tim Burton's desperation to please the studio by providing both a twist and an easy opening to a sequel.

History of the World Pt 2?

BTW Planet of the Apes remake, worst ending EVER

I've been wating for YEARS for Leonard, Part 7. ;)

Now that Disney and Pixar are splitville, expect crappy direct-to-video sequels to Bug's Life, Nemo, etc. just as quickly as the Mouse can squeeze them out. (Pixar always had this crazy idea that a sequel had to be, y'know, good.)

The sequel to The Sword and the Sorceror. It says there will be one at the beginning of the end credits.


LYING BASTARDS!!! :)

Please, No HULK 2!!!

Yeah, because the studios are forcing you to see it.

The POTA Remake's ending was partially due to the twist of the original movie, but was also intended to be more in the spirit of Pierre Boulle's source novel Monkey Planet in which...



(I've never read the original novel, but read somewhere that's basically how it ended.)

EDIT: I did a web search for the heck of it and found that my spoiler section is not quite right. There's a pretty good synopsis of the storyline of the original Monkey Planet novel at H2G2:

Back in the day, this was supposed to happen. But Marisa Tomei was asking for too much money. I'm guessing because of her Oscar. And the project went into limbo hell. I still think they could do this. The first is a classic.

Where the hell is Joe Pesci anyway?

Breaking into houses and leaving the sinks running.

Considering Burtons movie did'nt follow the book any more closely then the orginal one did makes the ending lame and still as implausible as ever

Im still waiting for the so called Dr. Detroit II, the Wrath of Mom which was mentioned at the end of the first film. ;)

Where the Hell is the sequel to Buckaroo Banzai!?!?

But the POTA Remake does have...

Where's Deep Rising 2?

DAREDEVIL!

(c'mon - it wasn't THAT bad!)

cant wait for ZORRO 2!

Oh yeah, that would be so sweet. I wish they would get going with the Deep Rising SE someday. It needs anamorphic so bad!

If you want anamorphic, then get the Dutch release (or any of the R2 releases).

Call it Breakable, then call the third broken. M Night wrote this as a trilogy as the first was the initiation of David Dunn. Night probably wont do it because he felt it was recieved poorly (which I disagree with). He has to realize that every movie wont gross Sixth Sense or Signs money although UB did solid at the box office.

Yeah! I'm itching to find out how he and his posse deal with the World Crime League!

Cool, I will have to look into that. Thx.

I always wanted a sequel to Running Scared. No chance of that now, I guess. Unless they filmed it secretly, waited for one of the stars to die to cash in on sympathy money.

I also vote for an Unbreakable sequel. Loved that movie.

I think there could have been some great Young Sherlock Holmes sequels. They sure set things up for one.

Where's the sequel to... The BigLebowski?
I know the Coens were in talks of making their first ever direct sequel to be about Jesus Quintana. But damn already Coens, make it already please!!!


That's actually a really great idea. I always wanted him to do sequels to Unbreakable, but those ideas of the sequels would be wicked awesome.

Shamalayan has debunked the rumor that Unbreakable was intended as a trilogy several times. Yet it keeps resurfacing.
