Perhaps:

The year is 1937, 25 years after Rose lost Jack. She becomes very depressed and her friends suggest she needs a vacation. Rose books herself a flight on.... The Hindenburg!!

No wait... that can't be, because we saw her as an old woman. Oh well.

So what would it be about anyway?

That's hilarious! But you just never know. It could be worse.

Add to the sequel list Havana Nights: Dirty Dancing 2 (11/21/2003).

Charlie's Angels 2: Halo is now Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle.

WB has targeted the third Harry Potter picture for 2004.

Posted by Darryl Spicer (Member # 711) on 10-13-2002, 12:21 AM:

That new Charlies angels 2 title brings back memories of Speed 2: Cruise Control.

Posted by James R. Hammonds, Jr (Member # 673) on 10-13-2002, 03:17 AM:

You know, there are trailers available for these titles already.
Just take a copy of the original trailer and scratch a number 2 on the title frames.
This will work especially well for horror movies and I bet no one will know the difference.
I already have a trailer for Abandon 2.

That James Cameron quote may be authentic, he is known for bieng a jokester about his upcoming projects.

Actually, here is a doozy, and this is actually true.

DIE HARD 4.

No kidding. Bruce Willis's production company agreed to make a fourth installment in order to gain the rights to a NAME to a film that they wanted for his latest picture. The movie, now called TEARS OF THE SUN, will be called instead MAN OF WAR. I'm sorry, but I liked the first one better, and to trade an entire movie that will probably suck, to get a movie title that DOES suck? Not good.

"First Wives Club 2" sounds about as dumb as "Final Destination 2" or "The Neverending Stoy 2"...

Hopefully we won't see a "Nutty Professor 3" or "The Flintstones 3: Viva la Franchise"

Personally, I think sequels would be better without the number. Like "The Matrix Reloaded" is instead of "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" but I guess if people don't see a number after the original title, they're too dumb to realize it's a sequel. ("Hey, didn't these same three girls play in 'Charlie's Angels'?")

=TMP:2=

P.S. Are we going to need new lenses and plates for "Exorcist 4:1"?

Posted by Dave Williams (Member # 299) on 10-14-2002, 05:33 PM:

In some cases having the number is a good idea. Lets take star trek for example. Without the number, we wouldn't be able to know which ones were the odd number ones and therefore sucked on entirely new levels.

Star trek 2 4 and 6 all were good to very good, 8 was very good, although it had no number. 10 also should be good.

And this is what I am tired of.. all of this SL2 (stuart litttle 2). D2 (the mighty ducks). hey wait a minute, the first one was called the mighty ducks, and the second one is also called the mighty ducks???? I AM SPINNING.

Terminator 2, or T2 started it all. THANKS A LOT CAMERON.

Shouldn't that be I know what you did the summer before the summber before last summer?

(I have seen on Movie Mistake websites people complaing about the title 'I still know what you did last summer' Since the film takes place a year after the first film. It should have correctly been titled 'I still know what you did the summer before last summer'

Does anyone know if minghella is directing the next ripley movie?? Talented mr. ripley is one of my favorite movies.

There were survivors from the Hindenburg disaster. Maybe Rose was one of them!

RIPLEY'S GAME is directed by Liliana Cavani

Posted by Manny Knowles (Member # 1171) on 10-27-2002, 08:28 PM:

Speaking of initials, I never got what the "4" was all about in ID4 (Independence Day).

Posted by Dave Williams (Member # 299) on 10-27-2002, 09:16 PM:

The 4 had to do with the fact the the US celebrates our Independence Day on July 4.

So hence, ID4, or Independence Day, July 4.

It was a pretty stupid thing to do, as they were trying to take advantage of the T2 stupidity.

Now with a sequel in the works, what the hell do they call it?

ID42? ID5?

How about CD25.... Christmas Day we fight back again some more...

3rd episode of "Analyze this" & "Analyze that":
"Analyze these"
(to be continued with "Analyze those")

Posted by Charles Everett (Member # 889) on 02-23-2003, 05:20 PM:

"Man of War" opens 3/7 as Tears of the Sun.

"X-Men 2" is now simply X2.

"Fast and the Furious 2" opens 6/7 with a great title -- 2 Fast 2 Furious [Big Grin]

.

"Rugrats Meet the Wild Thornberrys" is now called Rugrats Go Wild. It's scheduled to open opposite When Harry Met Lloyd: Dumb and Dumberer.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle drops the number.

"Exorcist 4:1" is now Exorcist: The Beginning and opens opposite Bad Boys II.

"Spy Kids 3" is now Spy Kids 3D: Game Over. Guess who's in it? Mr. Rambo himself, Sylvester Stallone!

Somehow we managed to forget Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. It opens the same day as Spy Kids 3D.

Freddy vs. Jason is scheduled for 8/15. Oh. My. God.

Jeepers Creepers 2 opens Labor Day weekend like the first one.

Ripley's Game ("sort of a sequel" to The Talented Mr. Ripley) - April 4

Patricia Highsmith wrote 4 sequels to THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY:

RIPLEY`S GAME
RIPLEY UNDER GROUND
THE BOY WHO FOLLOWED RIPLEY
RIPLEY UNDER WATER

so there is plenty of material for sequels.
