Forrest Gump.

Hear me out... As many already know, the original author deliberately wrote a terrible sequel book in an effort to ensure that a sequel would never be made. And I respect that kind of integrity to the point where I intend on buying the book just to support his decision. And if, against all odds, they actually made that book into a movie, I'd probably watch it so he could get some royalties from that too.

I thought longer than I'd like to admit to, I think Everything Everywhere All At Once could have a decent fun sequel.

I don't know. Most good movies already have sequels, and I can't think of many movies without sequels that I could say I enjoyed or that I would love to see a sequel of.

Usually sequels ruin the first part or don't live up to the standard, so in general I wouldn't push for this.

I would love to see a sequel to the Warcraft movie.

Megamind. That SLOP they tried to sell as a TV series was just a cashgrab. Talentless cashgrab.

We deserve the rumoured Gladiator sequel that had time travel or something

Rising Arizona.

In a land not too far away, maybe Utah.

Idk... I'm kinda obessed with time travel and alt-timelines so maybe Primer?

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fuck yeah, a sequel to Primer would rock. How many layers deep could this one be? The director for Primer is/was a bit of a crazy person. I recommend Upstream Color if you've not seen it yet.

[–] Lorindol@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Primer is excellent low-budget hard scifi. Few years ago I read Shane Carruth's script for his scrapped project "A Topiary". It is wild, no wonder he couldn't get the funding for it.

A primer sequel would be so great.

I really want to say Secret of NIMH but another company jumped on the coattails of the original and produced a terrible sequel.

I also can't say Zootopia since it already got their sequel. Same with Legend of Hei, so I'm running out of good ideas.

So maybe I'll just go with something wacky and magical like Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. Probably wouldn't be anywhere near as good, but would still be fun to watch.

I didn't know that there was a movie, but if you haven't read the books, there's more story there.

Standalone movies should not get sequels because they covered the interesting parts of their setting and wrapped the whole thing up.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Most sequels suck. There’s very few exceptions

I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of remake sequel to "When Harry Met Sally" but I don't think current writers could do justice to the OG. Also, what do current gens even know about love? 🤷
