It’s all wishful thinking, so go crazy.
Léon: The Professional
Did she grow up to be a nice girl or a cleaner?
I know it was based on the movie that predated Léon, but I always took La Femme Nikita (the TV show) as a sequel of sorts to Léon. I mean, both movies were Luc Besson, and both covered similar ground, so it’s easy enough to conceive of Mathilda taking a new name and identity and carrying on Léon’s line of work.
That said, I’ve not seen La Femme Nikita since it originally broadcast, so I could be remembering it wildly wrong.
dont recall natalie portman ever being in an action flick
V
Does Thor count as an action flick? Or Star Wars?
i completely forgot about thor…don’t recall her doing much proper action though (the movie was fucking terrible, i try to forget it in general).
guess i should have said “any action flicks since star wars”
Hey, she wasn’t just in Thor. She was also in Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Love and Thunder!
She was in Heat , but not in an action role.
Colombiana (2011) started its life as a sequel before it changed.
She became queen of somewhere far far away, actually. I don’t remember the details; it was a long long time ago.
Heard she became a pedo herself.
Hurt-people, hurt people.
We deserve the rumoured Gladiator sequel that had time travel or something
I think he hunted down Jesus in that script
Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. A good sequel would be a nice change of pace for this standalone reboot/twist/masochistic nightmare.
I liked its first sequel.
Jumper
It had an interesting concept that could be used to better results
I can’t believe they didn’t make a second Superbad. The plot line wrote itself. Seth goes to visit Evan and Fogel one weekend at Dartmouth. The cops have been fired and are now working as lowly campus security officers. Hi-jinks ensue. Call it Superbadder. Boom done.
Feckin eh!
Dredd. The movie was only so-so but it was a really good setup for a sequel. Karl Urban also knocked it out of the park. The Stallone version was good for what it was but it didn’t really feel like Judge Dredd.
You are the first person I’ve ever seen refer to Dredd as anything less than an action masterpiece.
The heavy use of slow motion kind of ruined it for me a little bit. If it was symbolic in some way my unsophisticated brain didn’t get it.
Dredd (2012) was a techically proficient, but ultimately mediocre piece of uncritical copraganda action schlock, and a vastly inferior film to Judge Dredd (1995). i will die on this hill.
a vastly inferior film to Judge Dredd (1995)
Now that is a SPICY take, and I applaud your bravery.
I mean the nostalgia runs deep for the 1995 one cause I was a child, but I highly recommend posting this on unpopular opinion.
I’ll give you this, the old one felt more comic bookish. But if they do go back to the campy, please give me some dark judges!
I don’t know if I’d go as far as to call it copaganda, but it’s definitely true that it downplayed the anti-fascist satire of the original source material
I don’t remember watching either of these two movies so I have no skin in the game, but I love it when someone is this passionate about a controversial opinion like this.
When they remade Total Recall, I thought the OG was better because I am an action fan and the Swrtzenegger one is jam packed with action.
I went into Dredd kinda expecting a similar thing, but nah. It’s way better than the Stallone one as a action movie. The Stallone one I now consider a comedy, instead. “Eat recycled food. It’s good for the environment and OK for you.”
For Total Recall, the point was that the state of the film was ambiguious. Were the events on screen the memories bought and paid for, or was it a real spy thriller.
The remake answeres that question and ruins the entire premice of the film. This is a key example on why these Hollywoo “remakes” are widely panned, they usually miss the point of the origional art and audiences are dumber for it.
The Matrix
You mean they should make a 5th one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_(franchise)/
I am of course referring to the old joke where people deny the existence of the sequels. Not that I was aware of a fourth.
Ah, sorry. I was out of the loop
No, they should make a second one.
Buckaroo Banzai.
A-fucking-men.
Children of Men is the best movie ever for the plot and atmosphere more than the one shot extravaganzas. In terms of what the sequel plot should be, I think further advance in the collapse and despair of the world even if a new pregnancy in the world occurs. Perhaps from the perspective of the rulership leveraging despair for corruption gains.

For sequel, Clive could have survived. The Human Project should have had other success in protecting children from establishment, There could have been a lot of children on that Island if fertile mothers were also taken there. Teenagers from that island could be a studio-friendly plot line. There is massive plot possibilities, but the uniqueness of the original was global despair from a lack of human sustainability. In an older more decayed world, the low hanging fruit for plot is a corrupt dead end establishment clinging to power instead of enabling the human project.
Don’t look up had very poor plot around theme, except for “I am for the jobs the comet will provide” line. It was still a worthwhile movie. If the bar is better than original or disappointment, then ok, but it’s easy to be much better than don’t look up, IMO.

Constantine.
I know it may not have checked all the boxes for comic fans but it was a great movie with great characters and atmosphere.
I’ve thought about this several times since its release. Apparently I’m not the only one. Keanu was asked a similar question last year but about his own catalogue and he said the same thing, he wishes there had been a sequel.
A few months after that, I think I read a sequel might be coming.
They’re working on a script, last I looked up.
The worst part about Constantine was the main cast.
Keanu playing an emotionally arrested dude was pretty spot on.
And although not a main character, but Peter Stomaire’s Lucifer was pretty haunting.
Tilda Swinton was great too. I was t familiar with the character from the comics, but I still remember her role from when I saw it at first release.
Keanu said he’d jump at the opportunity to make a sequel as well and he’s been pushing for it for a while
I never saw the movie, but the 2014 TV show was awesome and I wish it had gotten another season. Having the same actor make a few lame crossovers with the Arrowverse did not suffice.

“Constantine, like clementine”
But…that can be pronounced two ways? Isn’t that the point?

Do yourself a favour and give the movie a whirl. I’m in the minority but as a long time fan of Hellblazer (original run of 300! comics) I was happy with the movie, thought it was adequately close to the material (for a movie, how can you fit the scope of the source material into 1.5 hours…) and a good old romp overall.
The TV show was excellent, quite close in look and feel and Matt Ryan nailed it (also his characterization in Legends but the writing there was lesser for the character, even though I enjoy Legends for their goofy, campy fun, Constantine wasn’t a good fit), totally want some more.
Princess Mononoke
I loved it but I hope they don’t, it ended perfectly.
I wouldn’t mind seeing some sort of remake sequel to “When Harry Met Sally” but I don’t think current writers could do justice to the OG. Also, what do current gens even know about love? 🤷
Kill Bill
Uh, they did make one, it’s called Volume II
It’s 1 movie.
I have a spoiler for you… She killed Bill.
Rumor is copperheads daughter grows up to kill Beatrix
Jonny Mnemonic
I would love to see a sequel to the Warcraft movie.
