This thread needs more explanations than just straight responses.
Anyways, I will say that the most surprising to me was Dredd. I mean, I shouldn't really be surprised because it didn't do well in the Box Office, but it was just so awesome. Was such a great movie all around and I really wanted to learn more about that world.
I'd be all about a prequel series for Morgan Freeman's character in Se7en. Only if David Fincher returned to direct through.
Elf.
I know Will turned down an obscene amount of money for it, and it was prolly the right decision, but I'm still surprised a sequel never got made given how popular Elf continues to be.
Nightmare Before Christmas. Not that I want a sequel, mind you, but it is Disney we’re talking about here. It’s like a to tobacco addict turning down one specific brand of cigarettes.
Speed Racer. Loved the silliness and the love and passion the film had. Unfortunately I believe to much time has passed, the cast must have aged. But so glad we had the best racing movie in my opinion, had so much heart and car-fu
Buckaroo Bonsai
The end credits talk of a sequel, “Buckaroo Bonzai against the World Crime League” - that script ended up being repurposed into “Big Trouble in Little China”
Commenting to take notes of movies that weren't ruined by useless sequels.
I wasn't really surprised it didn't get a sequel but I remember that "The golden compass" was made to have sequels from the get go and i think even ended with a cliffhanger, or maybe not. I juste remember feeling like the story was cut short. I didn't feel this with the Harry potter movies despite being another adaptation of a book, so they probably screwed up.
It's based on the first book of a trilogy, the series is called His Dark Materials, and was a fucking travesty of a film adaptation. I'm honestly glad they didn't go forward with the rest, I doubt they would have handled the other two any better.
I can't speak on Amazons attempt, haven't gotten around to it yet, but can recommend the books. They're a good read.
Salt. I kinda liked it and felt that there was more that was planned.
District 9
How Stella Got Her Groove Back. Taye Diggs poking MILFs back to health could have become annual event theater like Fast and the Furious.
I say first week in October. The leaves are changing. Pumpkin spice is back. Every mom in America would buy new shoes and be there in an outfit she’d been mentally choosing for 4 months.
Knick Knack. It's one of the earliest Pixar films that were made. They could make an actually amazing story out of this.
But all they did was include it as a bonus feature on the Finding Nemo DVD, and I guess a couple others idk.
