Hollywood films of classic novels that really, really cry for sequels! |
|
Les Miserables, Deux: Revenge of Jauvert. (In which Jean Valjean returns with no memory and is hunted by Jauvert, who has washed downstream, been rescued by a wandering samuri (Jet Li), and learned new tricks.)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame II... No wait, Disney did that.
Peter Pan II: The Return to Neverland... No, wait. Disney.
The Second Last of the Mohicans. (Same script as the first one. Who would notice anyway?)
The Lesser Gatsby. (Jay's younger brother seeks revenge on those who brought his brother down. Meanwhile, Daisy has met a wandering Samuri (Jackie Chan) who teaches her a few new tricks.)
The Sun Also Comes Back Up. (Jake gets a groundbreaking operation, thus the title. He decides to hunt Tyrone Powers and the director who ruined the ending in the 1957 film of the movie. It's a sort of deconstructionist/softcore porn film.)
The Lord of The Bracelet. (Peter Jackson directs another sixty-five hours of film.)
Hamlet II (Just more swordfighting. Probably stars Russel Crowe, who wins another Oscar. Yeah, so, he died in the first one. If they can make a sequel to Planet of the Apes after Charleton Heston blows up the world, they can do anything).
Pitcher in the Corn. (Some adult slaps Holden Caulfield silly and makes him quit whining.)

This is Hollywood. They live for bad scripts.

4. That would be tricky scriptwriting. Trying to stay true to the original |
|
while still creating a new, meaningful story.
The sequel needs more sex, though.
