Ask Lemmy

I can't believe they didn't make a second Superbad. The plot line wrote itself. Seth goes to visit Evan and Fogel one weekend at Dartmouth. The cops have been fired and are now working as lowly campus security officers. Hi-jinks ensue. Call it Superbadder. Boom done.

How did nobody mention "Master and Commander"? It's so good!

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

Constantine

Tucker & Dale vs Evil

The correct answer is District 9.

However, I find I'm often disappointed by sequels to great movies. I feel like there are far more mediocre movies that failed to fully explore the depths of a good concept, where a sequel (perhaps in a different genre) would retroactivel make the first movie better.

For that, I also choose Johnny Mnemonic.

Also, In Time, Elysium, or Chappie.

I also think now would be a great time for a Galaxy Quest sequel. There's a lot of fertile sci-fi tropes that could make for another hilarious movie. Like, after the end of the revival of the original show, there's a Next Generation spin-off that overshadows the original, plus a bunch of expanded universe content. The Thermians and other aliens keep replicating the nonsense as real technology. What remains of the OG crew has to convince the new cast and writers/showrunners to stop being so lazy in their hand-wavy rushed bullshit, because there are very real consequences to poorly executed cash grabs full of plot holes and dangling threads. Maybe there's a prequel series that creates a schism in the Thermian society, with the older generation following the Never Give Up, Never Surrender idealism, and the younger generation believing in a grittier, cynical imperialistic ideology.

Valerian and the city of a thousand planets. It's an amazing setting and if you put some leads with actual chemistry in a sequel it could do well.

The Fifth Element. So much untapped potential in that dystopia. It could be a direct sequel following up on Korben and Leeloo, or a spin-off following Ruby Rod, or a prequel around the previous time the Evil threatened the world, or a thousand other possibilities.

Constantine. 

I know it may not have checked all the boxes for comic fans but it was a great movie with great characters and atmosphere. 

I’ve thought about this several times since its release. Apparently I’m not the only one. Keanu was asked a similar question last year but about his own catalogue and he said the same thing, he wishes there had been a sequel.

A few months after that, I think I read a sequel might be coming.

None. Stop with the fucking sequels and prequels and spinoffs already.

Your nostalgia will never be placated.

Dredd. The movie was only so-so but it was a really good setup for a sequel. Karl Urban also knocked it out of the park. The Stallone version was good for what it was but it didn't really feel like Judge Dredd.

flow.

Primer

Children of Men is the best movie ever for the plot and atmosphere more than the one shot extravaganzas. In terms of what the sequel plot should be, I think further advance in the collapse and despair of the world even if a new pregnancy in the world occurs. Perhaps from the perspective of the rulership leveraging despair for corruption gains.

The Matrix

The Matrix

Kung Pow!

A. The Princess Bride. More likely a spinoff with Inigo becoming the dead pirate Roberts

B. Pacific rim. Because we all agree that there is no sequel

Stand by Me. The movie came out in 1986 but it is set in 1959...so 40 years later, the sequel is set in 1999. If anyone could write an awesome sequel, it'd be Stephen King.

Léon: The Professional

Did she grow up to be a nice girl or a cleaner?

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