Not a film, but the series Taboo. Was crying out for it, but Tom Hardy got big after the first series.
Fast and the Furious.
The title for the sequel could be some kind of pun on how the film is faster and/or more furious than what would be reasonable under normal circumstances
Amazing!
Constantine, I’m surprised it’s taken them this long to even talk about a sequel.
He had some great animated movies. Unlike the movie with the worst casting decision in the history of comic book movies.
Can’t wait for Colbert’s reluctant demon.
One of my favorites, the the series was excellent too. I’m not entirely sure which actor I liked best in the role
I loved the series, the movie not that much
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Excellent, fun movie. Huge universe to built on. Shame they’re probably not continuing the series
Wait is it confirmed they’re not picking that back up? I thought that movie was pretty solid! Really felt ripe for franchising. Could either continue that party, or same actors different campaign, etc… so much potential!
I don’t think it did well in theatres. It was also released around the time of the GPL fiasco, so lots D&D fans were still boycotting it.
I’m still waiting to learn what happened to Ridley, Marina, and Snails.
Titanic.
I remember there being a joke about a sequel where Jack is found frozen, revived, then has to make sense of all the merchandising and romanticism around what to him was a very real and recent tragedy.

Spoiler
Yes
The Golden Compass
There’s a whole series of books.
Though there is a TV series now…
I’ve never read the series but the His Dark Materials television show is really well produced. Not sure how closely it follows the books but as far as I understand it’s pretty faithfully executed.
The TV series is so good. Forget about the movie.
The trouble with the movie was that the studio got scared out of continuing by fundamentalist Christian groups who really objected to the central premise of the books; namely that God can be killed and all life will be better off for it.
They then fumbled the shit out of it, editing it so poorly that what they did make was a jumble of shit that no one who wasn’t familiar with the stories would care to see, and no one who loved the books would be happy with. For me it was shit like revealing Lyra’s parentage right at the beginning, rather than it being a huge surprise as in the books.
It was a massive shame though, because the casting was damn near perfect. If they’d got Sam Elliott back to reprise the role of Lee Scorseby for the BBC adaptation, I’d have been as happy as a pig in shit. To my mind he is Lee. Lin Manuel Miranda was fine, but lacked the essential taciturn nature of the character as written. And Sir Ian McKellan as Iorek? Perfect.
As far as I can remember the Movie did terrible, especially since it didn’t really stick to the source material
Daemons and talking polar bears. I was sold.
I personally am not bothered by sticking to the source material or not. Books and movies are fundamentally different.
I’m usually fine with not everything from the book making it to the movie, but changes to the plot need to be very well reasoned for. There were for example a lot of changes to the structure of LotR when Jackson adapted it, but they didn’t change the overall plot or message, mostly just restructured it.
Where can you watch the TV series? I really liked that movie.
Definitely worth seeking out the TV show, it’s much much better than the movie IMO.
That’s kind of a low bar, but yeah, the series is pretty good
That’s kind of a low bar
Well, yeah, I agree - but the person I was replying to liked the movie, so I didn’t want to be rude! ;-)
How nice of you :D
Max, it’s called His Dark Materials.
The Golden Compass. I know it’s being done as a series instead but expected movies following the first.
Titanic
What do you mean? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_II_(film)
From the wiki: “it is not a sequal but a mockbuster”
Dracula untold. Masterpiece of a movie.
Buckaroo Banzai
Big Trouble in Little China
Big Trouble in Little China
The problem was the story itself was so self-contained any sequel they tried would have clearly been nothing but a huge cash grab.
But they supposedly are making a sequel, starring The Rock 🫤
If they cast the rock in a Big Trouble sequel, I’m becoming a terrorist. He will ruin any franchise with his ego.
Is this the one where he plays the physically fit, yet somewhat goofy protagonist with corny jokes and facial expressions?
I was so ready to see Buckaroo Banzai take on the World Crime League.
There is a book, but it wasn’t very good. :(
1st book adapts the movie:
Freaking loved big trouble in little China. Cult classic to the max. I thought the magic was so cool!
The Matrix
What’s up with denying the trilogy? The shitty PC era movie I get it. But the sequels were excellent, the symbolism and how smith is defeated it’s brilliant. I bet you wanted a copy of the first movie.
You call it a trilogy because you reject the fourth one
I call it trilogy because I reject the first one
We are not the same
Jokes aside, I would call 2&3 a long movie, which makes it a trilogy again. One mistake is to see them as separate
Jurassic Park
… can we just pretend? Please?
Why pretend? There’s never were a sequel. Fanfic, yes, not sequel.
What was wrong with the second movie?
It became a parody of Godzilla movies for no real reason. And it came out of nowhere. I call it the movies 4th act.
Promised Neverland s1
I think you wanted to post a top level comment.
Jurassic World is a guilty pleasure of mine.
It’s good enough to grip you and at the same time so predictable and full of clichés it’s also funny.
Plus, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are both hot as hell.Unpopular opinion, I actually really like the third one
…uhhhhhhh, I would ask your mom if she smoked while pregnant with you. There’s clearly something wrong with the development of how your brain came out.
Look, I’m not saying any of them come close to the original, but imo it’s the second best of the series (including all the dogshit jurassic worlds) because it sticks to what made the first one great; small amount of people trapped on an island with dinos. The Lost World was like half that but then it turns in to some weird almost king kong-esq thing. Also i love me some Goldblum but he’s better as a foil imo and Chris Pratt has nowhere near the gravitas as Sam Neil. Like really besides the annoying parents what do you not like about the third one?
U can just say Téa Leoni is hot
Yeah, a real shame, that
Any moderately successful one that people remember.
Chronicle 😭
While I love this film, I feel like a sequel would just kinda ruin the ending.
Freddy Got Fingered. Absolute masterpiece.
♫ Daddy would you like some sausage? ♫
I got around to watching it a few years ago, and holy shit is it ever better than everyone says it is. It’s SO FAR ahead of its time—it feels like an early-to-mid 2010’s Adult Swim movie. Ebert can fuck right off, it’s a comedic MASTAPIECE.
I never saw it back in the days where it was sooooo critically panned. It seems to have aged swimmingly.
Wow. I caught it on a channel recently and watched the first 20 minutes and had to turn it off. That style of humor is so outdated imo. Tom Green’s comedy is just being awkward and repeating the same thing(s) over and over.
I’m glad you still enjoyed it though. I know it’s highly regarded as a cult classic. I just couldn’t stand it myself. I’m in my 40s btw, so I grew up during the Tom Green era of popularity.
I’m a bit younger, in my 30s. I also enjoyed the Tom Green show growing up. I think I might be biased because I love his antics and I was tripping acid when I saw it.
Return of the Jedi. Episode 7 is not a sequel but a remake. Episodes 8 and 9 are bullshit.
I mean, if we’re talking release order, then Return of the Jedi did get a sequel! It was called The Phantom Menace and ahh
Ahahaha hahahahahahahaha. I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I almost made it through with a straight face.
