The Sandlot 2: What exactly is the plot?
 

http://imdb.com/title/tt0418131/

Could The Sandlot be one of the least likely films to have a sequel come out ever? The first one was great in my opinion, and ended in a way that there could never be a sequel. I assume this is just about a bunch of new kids that live in the same area though.

What is the exact plot?

It could be about the kid or kids of the main character in the fist film.

*Moving to Mature*

:lol:

"Your....*oooooohh*.....killing.....*ahhhh*...me Smalls...*mmmm*"

No Denis Leary

In this one they all go "wtf are we doing?" and play basketball.

Seems strange to do a sequel 12 years later.

The story involves a group of bright eyed hollywood execs. After realizing they have no ideas whatsoever, they decide to make a sequel to a movie that doesn't need one, and no one is really asking for. James Earl Jones costars, and a giant dog will chase the execs across sunset blvd.

...naked!

Well there is a character named, Sammy "Fingers" Samuelson. How bad could it be ?

Cole Evan Weiss, 14, has been cast in the lead role as Saul for The Sandlot 2: Son of the Beast.

Weisss credits include TVs Playing for Keeps and Boy Meets World, and the feature films Halloween Tricks and Walking across Egypt opposite Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

Set Ten years after the first film, in the 1970s, the sequel has Saul (Weiss) and friends agreeing to let three females join their baseball team. When one of the girls fathers model space-ship falls on the other side of the fence a scary neighbour lives over there, of course they have to devise different ways of getting it back.

The film begins pre-production this weekend in Vancouver and is being directed by David Mickey Evans.

Evans told Moviehole last week that Sandlot 2 could be the first of five new Sandlot movies.

Model space ship? It's like the same story, just a lot dumber.

Sandlot with girls? Welcome to craptown.

It's times like these I thank God that sequels like this exist. Kind of like Dumb and Dumberer.

Geez, another un-needed sequel. Don't the studios realize that dumbass ideas like this actually turn away filmgoers like me.

Now when the heck are we going to get a Braveheart sequel? Fans are dying for it!

WTF!! Leave it alone you stupid ass movie execs. They are making the exact same movie, about baseball, except a with girls and the lost item is a spaceship instead of a baseball this time??? Give me a break.

2 dollars says the old man is an aging actor who was in some sorta b-movie serials of spacemen and such like Buck Rogers.

ugh

A Sandlot of Their Own

AUG. 20 | It has been more than a decade since the original, but 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment thinks it can score a home run with its 2005 DVD premiere movie The Sandlot 2.

This is the first project for Tom Siegrist since signing on as VP production at Fox in February. Sandlot 2 is expected to street within the second quarter of next year.

Many of the key players from the baseball-themed The Sandlot, released theatrically in 1993, are returning for the sequel. Director David Mickey Evans and stars James Earl Jones and Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Ark) are back. Fresh additions include former Ally McBeal cast member Greg Germann.

After grossing $35 million at the box office, The Sandlot has sold 7 million video units, 2 million of which have been since 1999.

"It was such a tremendous family movie," Siegrist said. "It was strongly remembered, and the audience is still looking for the same product."

At his previous post at Universal Studios Home Video, Siegrist worked on straight-to-video sequel Bring It On Again. Snagging $26 million since its January release, Bring It On Again ranks only behind Buena Vista Home Entertainment's The Lion King 1½ ($156 million) among top-selling video premieres this year.

"It's a tough market to get a good feel for," said Rich Wilde, video marketing manager for Texas-based Hastings chain. "But definitely the family titles are going to play better."

Siegrist declined to discuss specific costs but said Sandlot 2 has been budgeted at a "mid-level range" compared to his various DVD premiere projects. He hopes to launch four to six video premieres a year.

The division also will look out for theatrical financing opportunities. It is currently behind The Incident of Loch Ness, a mockumentary, which will have a limited release in 10 cities later this fall.

As for Sandlot 2, "it's intended as a DVD launch" but will be reviewed by execs for possible limited release, Siegrist said. A promo partnership is under discussion.

I don't remember any of the adults save, JEJ, being KEY players. They were bit parts. This movie will be a joke.

Moving to mature...

And, buddy, you're sick!!

And there you have the reason why so many movies suck. Product. It's complete disdain for the moviegoer.
