What? That sounRAB like a stupid idea to me....

Spoiler

How can they do a sequel with a dead character? Only way would be a prequel, but even then it's stupid because it'll be like the Star Wars prequels - you already know what happens with the main characters...

Stupid indeed but that's never stopped the movie industry in the past has it?

Yeah, if it makes money, they'll produce whatever crap they like.

Snakes on a Plane springs instantly to mind, although I haven't seen it, it looks like utter tripe.

I just take solace in the fact that no matter how bad that is, at least it isn't another sequel or a sodding remake.

 

[GO COLTS!]

the link clearly says it will be a sequel! it makes no sense!

I once hears that Hollywood executives tried to persuade James Cameron to make a sequel to Titanic. I have no idea if it's true but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

 

[Abdulla P M]

your joking right?!

 

[Oi! Oi!]

Didn't Nick Cave (he of the Bad SeeRAB) write a script for the Gladiator sequel? I think he mentioned it on Film 2005/2006. It was, apparently, very good but Scott and Crowe decided against it.

Spoiler

If it is a sequel, they could say that the "death" at the end of the first film was part of a plan to allow Maximus to go home to Spain and live quietly as a farmer.
