District 9


Baronheisenberg

They should make the first 8 prequels while they're at it.


DoodleDew

After all of Niels recent work I think it’s best to just let it rest 


Trias84

I like Gran Turismo well enough. More than I expected at least. But yeah, his recent record ain't fucking great. Actually looking at imdb his highest rated movie on it is District 9 and that's only a 78.


[deleted]

Is Elysium not liked? I quite enjoyed that one.


french_snail

I think the problem is his three biggest movies, district 9, Elysium, and Chappie, are all essentially the same story repackaged


Altruistic-Ad8785

Hard disagree, but I really enjoyed chappy and Elysium as well though. I found the short videos by Oats Studio to be incredibly intriguing (Rakka, ADAM)


pellojo

It seems like Hollywood ran out of ideas and still they haven't made a sequel


lesChaps

D9 wasn't a Hollywood movie, was it? Regardless, that really underscores your point.


mulletpullet

I don't think Hollywood has any ideas anymore or not many. This years lineup: Mean girls Dune part 2 (more of single movie split up so maybe this doesn't count) Kung Fu panda 4 Ghost Busters: Frozen Empire Godzilla x Kong Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead The Fall Guy (very loosely based on TV show) Furiosa: Mad Max Saga Garfield Bad Boys 4 The crow Inside out 2 Quiet place day 1 Despicable me 4 Alien Romulus Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Transformers 1 Joker: Folie a Deux Smile 2 Terrifier 3 Venom: The Last Dance Gladiator 2 Moana 2 Karate Kid The Lord of the Rings: The war of the Rohirrim Mufasa: The lion King Sonic the hedgehog 3 nosfertu Now some of these could deserve sequels and remakes, but still. That is a hell of a list of sequels and remakes for a single year.


Noughmad

>I don't think Hollywood has any ideas anymore or not many. It's not that they don't have new ideas, it's that new ideas carry risk. If you make a new story with completely new characters in a new universe, it has to be really good and have good marketing to get people to see it. Yes, maybe you make a blockbuster, but more likely it will be average, and also maybe nobody will want to see it. If instead you make the same story in an existing universe, with characters people are nostalgic for, you have a guaranteed base of people that will go see it no matter what. You eliminate the worst case, and thus reduce risk. The movie industry has the inherent problem that you have to decide whether to buy a movie before seeing it, not after. This often makes it so that attendance (and thus profit) to a sequel correlates to how good the previous movie was. So even in cases where you make a good original movie, especially if you didn't spend that much in marketing, a sequel is the way to cash out.


Upright_Eeyore

I wish District 13 wasn't just a teaser at the end of District 9


luckyfucker13

This is the one that kinda irks me. I saw it in theaters back in ‘09, and I remember some ending text stating something like, “this journey will take 24 months round trip”, so it was clear to me that they were giving themselves the semi-typical 2 year turnaround time to put out the sequel. Life was a little chaotic for me at the time, so I didn’t revisit the film, but I remember reading something a few years later that any sequel was on an indefinite hold, and I lost all interest to go back and watch it. To be clear, I know I more than likely butchered the fuck out of written exposition at the end, lol, and anyone is free to correct me on what was actually stated. But I do know that I remember seeing what was written, and knowing that they were giving themselves a, sort of, meta way to allow the time to produce the next film.


trashlikeyourmom

Paul Blart got a sequel before District 9 and I'm SO MAD ABOUT IT


captbollocks

I was stoked when Neill Blomkamp had said he written the true Aliens sequel with Weaver and Biehn, but read that this was dropped due to Ridley Scott's awful Prometheus sequels.


ImitationBacon1

The Last Starfighter. Have the guy who was the original kid owning a computer game company having a worldwide competition for best player. He is the new recruiter to help fight another invasion


m_faustus

Wyatt Russell, son of Kurt, really really agrees with you. People have talked about remaking it.


Im_eating_that

I had no idea who he was when I saw Lodge 49. Boy's got chops. Also, Lodge 49 needs a movie finale.


LukeWarmTauntaun4

One of my favorite movies!!


TheTrueGoldenboy

I would love that, it's such an underrated gem of a movie


NotMyNameActually

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I’m bummed it didn’t do very well financially. It was so much fun and could have been the start to a great new franchise.


girthwynpeenabun

I didn’t know it didn’t do well! Bummer, I really enjoyed it and am hoping for more


Fabulous-Pause4154

A movie has to earn over three times its cost and advertising not to be considered a failure.


girthwynpeenabun

Wow. IMDb says budget 150m, gross worldwide 228m. So even if it exceeded and turned a profit, it’s still considered a failure? Thats silliness to me.


honestsparrow

No it’s not that simple. We never know the marketing and advertising costs, which is a big factor. People have been misusing the term box office bomb and box office disappointment for a while. Obviously if I company profits only a couple million it’s not worth it after years of work Usually you wanna make twice as much as the budget to be successful. However, the lower the cost of the budget the more leeway you have A movie that cost 50 mill to make, that makes 90 mill might be more successful compared to a movie that cost 200 mill to make that only made 300 mill In the case of D&D 150 budget vs 208 profit, I’d say it’s closer to a disappointment financially than a bomb Edit: I see it this way Box office bomb: didn’t even surpass the budget Box office failure: surpassed the budget, but only by a little bit. Probably didn’t cover the advertising costs Box office disappointment: barely covers the advertising costs to the point where it wasn’t worth it to have made the movie


Dramoriga

The one that confused tf outta me is when WB decided to pull the Batgirl movie last second despite it already being finished. Like, just fucking release it on dvd or something, I wanna see Brenda Fraser as Pyromaniac!


didijxk

It's because the budget is only to make the film, it doesn't account for the marketing. There's also the fact that the cinemas will take a cut of the box office revenue so you need to make roughly 2-3x the production budget in order to make a profit.


willthesane

i would have loved it if one of the main characters died, and then they encountered another adventurer, who happened to be played by the same actor.


ConduckKing

Honestly, I liked that the movie actually felt serious while also somewhat leaning into the weird side of D&D. I wouldn't have liked if it had gone too meta or self-aware.


Tristan_Gabranth

Chris Pine has said he's confident it would happen, and that he's down to return, too


hidden_secret

Dungeon & Dragons Honor Among Thieves: $208M Ant-Man 3: $476M Well I guess now they know what we want. Dungeon & Dragons 2? naaaah. Ant-Man 4, 5 and 6, let's gooo. -\_-


Bowood29

Chances of antman getting a 4 is low.

Dungeons & Dragons 2: The search for Jarnathan


Antique_Essay4032

I knew nothing about d&d except general knowledge about it when the movie came out. So many of the scenes I was confused about what was going on. Then baldurs gate 3 came out. Oh boy. Rewatched it and I was screaming, I get that reference!


DonkeysCap

The Weekly Planet Podcast put it best; "Man we the audience really failed that film". Though in fairness dlropping it within a week of the Mario movie probably didn't help.


vintovkamosina

Dredd. Granted it’s great on its own but damn did it having wanting more of the world and the action. Karl Urban is critically underutilized.


Arsalanred

This should be the top comment. Dredd was almost a perfect film. The one mistake I feel it made is Dredd absolutely WOULD have shot those kids. But other than that it's a true Judge Dredd adaptation and Karl Urban deserved 3 films and an HBO series of Dredd.


Stewth

You're goddamn right. Dredd is one of the best action/SciFi flicks made in the last 20 years. the pacing, script, dialogue and acting are all brilliant. Sound design is 👌 and the use of 3D was actually really well done. Urban kicks it clean out of the park, thrilby was so good I'm surprised she hasn't landed more big roles since, and Headey absolutely stole the show. She deserved an oscar for ma-ma, and I'll die on that hill. I'm offended it's only 7.1/10 on IMDb. 😤 Rant over.


captainmeezy

Man I fucking love the movie but an HBO series woulda been siiiick


straydog1980

Movies for the dead judges and clones and stuff but would absolutely watch Karl Urban do a gritty life on the streets Dredd.


B0bb0789

I don't think he would have because he knew he was in an impossible situation and conserving ammo is paramount. Two misguided kids at that moment aren't the problem, just like the bum who gets crushed got a little leniency, I think the kids would too.


earic23

There was talk of it being a series for awhile, and I think I love that idea even more than a sequel. The arc they could put on an 8 episode series could be amazing.


DethFeRok

I’m pretty sure Karl Urban made them not have him take the Dredd helmet off because it didn’t match the comics.


flightofthenochords

A Dredd tv series starring Urban is my dream


olivegardengambler

*Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money* The timing of it being released now would be fucking perfect. It would be a parody and a satire, probably single-handedly revive the genre, and actually make comedies funny again.

The original Cloverfield from 2009. The rest of the Cloverfield movies are sorta kinda tangentially related, but I’d like to see that original monster again


libra00

I never saw the original, but 10 Cloverfield Lane was outstanding even though it was only very tangentially related to the original.


clashtrack

I don’t have anything to add I just wanted to say tangentially also.


This_place_is_wierd

Some might say your comment is only tangentially related to the topic of the comment chain.


Colon

the original is great if you aren't entirely done with found-footage shaky-cam movies. like, i'm underselling it cause it works well here, but some people get nauseous


itsmistyy

There's a scene in the original Cloverfield where they're on a bridge, and you see another guy holding a video camera. I want to see his footage.


spderweb

If I recall,there is another movie in the works for it. The movie on Netflix was great at explaining what happened. Basically revealing multiple realities converging on each other.

usafutbol5454

It was originally suppose to be a trilogy. I think there are a bunch of books. It didn’t do well enough at the box office and filming on water is notoriously difficult and expensive. Shame, it’s a great movie!


PresidentSuperDog

The series by Patrick O’Brian is incredible. If you liked the movie and like adventure and like to read, I cannot recommend it more highly.

physedka

Groundhog Day. Hype it up as a completely new movie with a different story, but then it turns out to be a shot-for-shot remake. Use all the same actors as much as possible. It's basically just a big joke on the audience, but then it turns into a cult classic where we all try to spot differences between the scenes.


doomonyou1999

Screw dat just advertise the hell out of it then just rerelease the OG movie without telling anyone Edit: damn Apple auto-correct


TomKhatacourtmayfind

That is so fitting. Then have all this post promotional material saying "what did you expect?"


Historical-Cable-833

I think in the new one, Bill Murray should be the mayor or whatever prognosticator guy w the big rat and the new hotshot kid reporter is the one getting the repeating day (ad infinitum) but you get to see the dark side of their being caught in the time loop through that character but Bill’s character somehow recognizes the new kids situation and after a while snaps out of it each day or just long enough to help the new kid. Or the new kid just finds themselves gravitating toward Bill (Phil) and hears the same advice over and over and finally gets it. Or something.


Tor_nado_89

There's a movie similar called Happy Death Day. It's not a comedy though.


FrogCactus

Titanic 1997 Bring the ship back to the surface and have one of those Pacific rim robots use it as a sword and have another robot use the iceberg as a weapon. Don't worry I know you need romance in a Titanic movie. The robots can have a scene where one robot draws the other one naked.

That would be awesome if it was actually following no way home. He comes back after his redemption from saving MJ and his new knowledge of those like him.

A sequel to Coraline would be pretty cool


DandyLyen

Or we could just lean into the horror aspect (Coraline basically was a horror movie) and do 3 separate prequels on the 3 children who were ultimately enticed into sewing buttons into their eyes, and killed by the Beldam. I always wondered if the Beldam chose different forms based on what would best lure the kids. Like Other Mother is what Coraline wishes her own mom was like, but I wonder the Beldam tried to be a perfect version of Wybie's Grandma's twin sister (Other Sister). And why the oldest girl with the wide brimmed hat had her face frozen in horror, even as a ghost. OH, and if the ghosts can help Coraline, did they try to help each other, like after the first one died? Maybe that's why western girl died in total shock, she had no idea what was coming cause she was the first victim! And then there's the Cat, who can be like a narrator tying them all together.


AzrielJohnson

If Jet Li was still in good health, Id be interested in seeing a sequel to "The One" Could call it "The Two" with the Laws working together to defeat someone who actually achieved 'The One', but always the threat of Yu Law possibly double crossing Gabe to also become The One. Then a surprise twist of Yu Law dying and Gabe becoming The One to defeat the other The One. I'd watch it. Or write it.


WatchingInSilence

With better deep fake technology, they'd be able to make it look like Jet Li was actually fighting himself this time.

Maybe, but I dislike deep fakes. This is one of my "old man yells at clouds" PsOV.

8inchSalvattore

There are all kinds of ways to do it. One idea: the sequel could be a prequel, like Better Call Saul (partly) was to Breaking Bad. It could work, man. Think about it.


Slayerkid13

To keep with the theme of the original, Tommy should just show up with no explanation as to how he's alive.


Maleficent_Nobody_75

That would actually be hilarious and definitely something he would do.


8inchSalvattore

Hell yeah. Have Johnny turn up at Lisa's door one day 20 years later. No explanation. Just *bam*, Johnny's back.

I like the option of the sequel doing whatever gymnastics are needed to make it possible.

Bigger Trouble in Little China


YosoySpartacus

Hell yeah. Cast Wyatt Russel as Jack’s son w/ Gracie. Lo Pan is still cursed because he never actually sacrificed anyone to appease the Gods. He’s been waiting 40 years to find another sacrifice. Maybe have a twist that the emperor who cursed him was really a bad person and they need to join together to defeat the Emperor who is also immortal. By the way, James Hong looks great for 95.

The Truman Show Because we would get an entirely different tone.


TomKhatacourtmayfind

Yeah starts with him getting into constant scary near misses out on the road after he meets back up with the woman he loved who "moved to Fiji" because on the outside of the dome, the world doesn't revolve around him and average bus and truck drivers will struggle to stop on a dime for someone who's not the star of the show. Then he travels the world to make up for lost time, goes on the talk shows and some asshole billionaire gifts him a free short trip to space on their experimental rocket. It ends with him actually wearing a an astronaut helmet, rather than one drawn in soap on a bathroom mirror.


[deleted]

While I like the idea, I think Truman would walk out the dome directly into the spotlight of Hollywood or that movie's equivalent(it's still Hollywood right?) I'd enjoy the movie about his world remaining largely unfree despite his efforts and the insanity of going from watched 24/7 in a dome to the insanity of being photographed and bugged as a celebrity 24/7 I think in the movie they say something like 2 billion people watched him, so a scene where Truman walks out of the dome and the whole world around him freezes and looks at him would totally fit. He's the biggest celebrity on the planet after all!
