I still hold out hope that a sequel movie will come out before the end of the decade. But from what I've seen of articles being written, a TV show is more likely than a movie. And I'm all for it. #HBOgetonit

I agree, it was a good movie, hopefully it does not get destroyed with sequels

[-] FaceDeer@kbin.social 55 points 1 year ago

I'm also surprised that the Terminator series never got a third instalment. Or Aliens, for that matter.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 year ago

I was really sad about the Aliens franchise ending after two movies. I was really looking forward to seeing what Newt, Ripley, and Hicks got up to in the next installment.

If I remember correctly, a sequel has been in development hell for years.

Constantine. Keanu Reeves has said he would like to do it, and there is a ton of story material to draw from between the Constantine series and all of the Hellblazers, not to mention cameos in other series.

Apparently they are working on a part 2. Peter stormare is confirmed to return as well.

Edge of Tomorrow. Not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but that one really gets me. Emily Blunt is awesome in it. Went in not expecting much, but I was blown away.

Watched it last year and immediately searched to see if there was sequel in the pipe. Development hell.

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 50 points 1 year ago

I would love more, but how? It was a rather self contained story.

The Fifth Element

I'm glad it didn't get a sequel because it is such a good stand alone movie. I'm just shocked the studio didn't try to milk it for everything it had.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

It was a European production. We don't do it that way.

Still waiting on Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money

[-] GrimChaos@lemm.ee 51 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I liked Rick Moranis's idea for it, Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs II.

I feel like you can modify it to include both ideas Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs II: The Search for More Money

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

It was good. It was written by Douglas Adams. He also wrote screenplays for the next 2 books to be made into movies.

And despite it making a couple million more than it cost, the first one was considered a flop. :(

I’m not necessarily surprised this one didn’t get a sequel, but I really wish it had!

Event Horizon (1997)

[-] ringwraithfish@startrek.website 34 points 1 year ago

I like the fan theory that Event Horizon is a prequel of sorts to the Warhammer universe.

Master and Commander. It's atmospheric and fun, and I'm sad they didn't make more with that cast.

Alita: Battle Angel. I've heard there is a sequel planned, but it's been a few years since the first movie. James Cameron is still involved as a producer, but I guess his blue-skinned money machine has kept him busy lately.

Still waiting for the Zootopia sequel. Genuinely good and creative movie that used the format to talk about tricky topics with some cushion and then became a cult favorite. They added some extra stuff under Zootopia+, they tee'd up the buddy cop format, did all this world building and then... what, Disney, this is the one IP you're not going to squeeze for all its worth? Where's the next one?

Master and commander... They had the ship built already too - why not make a sequel? There's about 20 books worth of material.

Adventures of Tintin. Peter Jackson was supposed to direct it, but unfortunately he got busy with Hobbit.

Apparently they were supposed to adapt Prisoners of the Sun, which is arguably the best Tintin storyline to make a movie of.

Pacific Rim, such a great fun mechs vs monsters movie that had a gritty feeling to it. Not over the top fantastical bullshit with flips or garish colors, just solid, slow, huge mechs fighting solid, slowish, sea monsters.

Man of Steel. It was a shot in the arm for DC movies, and the Superman character in film. Why they didnt follow up with a direct sequel, and instead released that dumpster fire Batman v Superman instead, I will never understand.

Princess Bride

I always thought a sequel where the roles are reversed and Fred Savage is reading to an ailing Peter Faulk would have been a great way to start a sequel.

The Rock. It would have been very easy to set up another terrorist attack that is tied to Mason’s spy past. Goodspeed is the only one who knows Mason is alive and where to find him. Would have been an easy hit.

Dredd

Such a great movie that should've launched at least a trilogy, it was so much better than the Stalone movie, it kept the stakes relatively low, just a day-in-the-life sort of story, but did some great world-building. No "end of the world" stakes or anything silly, just some Judges trying to clear out a building, one apartment building in a mega-city.

Kung Pow. The first one even had a trailer during the credits.

I was going to say "How the hell didn't Hunt for Red October" get a sequel?" But today I learned it sort of did; they've made like four other movies in the Clancy cinematic universe.

How about Galaxy Quest? I'm surprised they haven't made a Galaxy Quest sequel. Not because I think it needs one, but because it was a very popular and well received movie with stuff to talk about.

remo williams was a decent, entertaining movie that flopped in theaters. a tv pilot was also produced, and but didn't lead to a series order.

based on the popular the destroyer series of novels (of which there is now over 150 published), it had huge potential.

not all that 'surprising' given its lackluster performance at the box office, more a 'disappointment'.. although hollywood has made far worse.
