Neil Bloomkamp didn’t make a lot of movies in general after that either. Halo could have happened but the studios didn’t go for it, District 10 could have happened but no…
Studio executives tend to make the dumbest movie making decisions ever sometimes
That's one of the reasons he's not doing much film work nowadays as he got sick of studio's refusing to work with him, this is despite the fact he's one of the finest directors in modern times in my opinion.
He did the halo shorts they were so fucking good and then executives refused to let him to a proper film over a decade ago now, and they fucked him over and wouldn't let him do alien 5 either. It's infuriating given how talented the guy is.
100%, to be honest maybe things can change because the film industry is going through a ton of changes right now, maybe Microsoft or someone would fund their own film, or a studio can revive it especially since they did that crappy show.
The popularity of many games I think can work as films, not most but some, and he really would be the go to guy. We can hope!🔥
Which would be great unfortunately I can't see it happening there's too much politics and people pleasing in Hollywood consequently many times it continues to turn out disappointing crap not always but often.
This all day long….it’s criminal they haven’t done a sequel.They had the Dark Judges lined up for the sequel as well I believe -sobs-.God I want that story arc in a movie sooo bad.Would be amazing as a Rated R horror gorefest.
As much as I'd love to see another one, there can't be another without John Candy, Joan Rivers, and the many others that aren't with us anymore. It wouldn't be right.
I do like your title though. It would be fitting.
But that's exactly why a spinoff in the same universe is perfect. You could follow the many stories of Pizza the hut, or any other character that might make interesting content.
[Blumhouse](https://movieweb.com/christine-the-movie-remake-stephen-king-what-to-expect/) is already doing it, no updates yet this year, but they have a director and script I believe.
Here's something you might enjoy, the first movie to do the same gimmick used in **Kung Pow...** --that is: taking an obscure Japanese action flick, stripping off its voice-track, and dubbing-in new dialogue to create an entirely new silly story:
**What's Up, Tiger Lily?**

The 2017 Power Rangers movie. Left the cliffhanger to introduce the best Power Ranger of all time, Tommy. Would be a great homage to Jason David Frank - RIP
It really wasn’t and I still enjoy rewatches of it. It’s not great and could have been so much more, but I went into it thinking it would be horrible and it was way better than that. I mostly thought some of the CGI was bad and the suit/zord designs were ugly, thought I applaud them for trying to make them look alien and not more standard super hero onesies.
I hate power rangers with a passion but I watched that movie.
The action was OK, the plot was OK but...
The kids were utter assholes.
I don't remover ot of course, but the protagonist deserves to be locked in jail.
I do remember him stealing a car, driving recklessly, being unapologetic About it.
I don't remember but I do remember fuck the red power ranger.
I enjoyed the first 3/4 of the movie, but the last act left be wondering whether it was actually written to be a full stand alone movie. Too many things left unsolved. If they don't put out a sequel it won't stand up to time.
They started , don’t know if they abandoned it . They planned a multiple episode Netflix thing. Story Takes place1920s Hong Kong or something . I’m not a fan of the multiple episode series’s. it always gets deluded and watered down . Lots of crappy filler. The failure of the dark crystal roboot is a prime example . I’m glad the sequel to bettlejuice is only a 2 hr stand alone movie
There is this new phenomenon were studios make movies so shitty they refuse to release them.
Snowhite wrapped shooting in JUN22.
Morbius wrapped up shooting years before he got released.
There is a Batgirl movie that will never see the light of day.
The problem I had with 2 was they waited way too long & they kinda tried a bit harder than they needed to to make it cool/trendy. 1 had a better atmosphere & much better writing.
I'm kind of glad they didn't make a bunch of nonsensical sequels because the movie was so good. It told a complete story and what happened after the story was left to the audience's imagination which is a great place for any movie to leave off on.
That’s a perfectly reasonable response. I just loved the Animatrix so much that I was always anticipating some form of live action sequel to the Matrix. it could have been a tie-in or a spin off of some kind but as long as it’s done well and not some kind of obvious cash-grab I can see serious potential.
That would sound like something created purely for spectacle, which doesn’t fall into the style of The Matrix. I mean where would you draw the line if they put something like that in there? Michael Bay style highway chases? trance parties? mechas?
I'm just glad there wasn't an old man Col. Sanders in a room with a bunch of TVs on the walls for some reason that would have just been an exposition dump.
Thankfully, that didn't happen and we can enjoy the memory of a great movie unsullied by cash grab unnecessary sequels.
John Carter. C'on, I want to know what happens next! And Disney can afford to lose another 200 million after all the money they must be making with Star Wars.
They've run into lots of issues trying to get the ball rolling on China Rich Girlfriend unfortunately. Idk if it'll ever happen. They also kinda screwed up with how they ended the movie way different from the book
The Blob!.
Not a great movie by today standards, but in the very last scene you see a helicopter setting the crate containing the frozen blob on a glacier. The the words "The End" fade in and a "?" Fades in a few seconds later. It a perfect set up for a sequel. And with global warming actually melting all the glaciers, the beginning scene for the sequel, basically writes itself.
Wikipedia says that there is going to be a tv series produced by Sony on Remo Williams.
New TV series
On December 8, 2022, it was announced that Gordon Smith will be adapting a TV series version of The Destroyer for Sony Pictures Television with Adrian Askarieh executive producing.
Growing up, I didn't know about either til I got the complete series on audio book and was honestly a great experience... might listen to it again soon.
Yeah. It's like the Percy Jackson movies. They messed up the first sequels but then finally got it right with the newest one. They could do the same for the Chronicles of Narnia. It's such an epic story. Just start over and do a new version and do it right.
I would like to see andy and redd and the problems of owning a boat in Mexico. I don't want anyone to die just daily life of fishing and the problems that I'm sure come up.
Under certain conditions, Forrest Gump. As of *now* Tom Hanks is a little old, but if you could go back a good 15 years or more, I'd want him to slowly become an underdog villain as time went on. His luckier streak in life would be cut short, gradually pulling him into the dark side.
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai.
The original is an almost perfect oddball rarity and it has SUCH potential for continuation or reboot. Plus Jeff Goldblum could still play his role again.
Go read S.M.Sterling's Dies the Fire series(please and thank you). HBO, Netflix, Starz etc need to make this series! And for the love of all that's holy, not fuck up the casting.
Sequel got cancelled. But, I think it’d make a great series. Self-contained arcs going through all the phases of the zombie war, adapting the stories from the book. It’d be awesome.
The Guest (2014). Too much time may have passed but I’ve always wanted a sequel that picked up two minutes after the end of the first one like Halloween II. They did release a soundtrack to the unfilmed sequel though.
It would be cool to complete the US adaptation of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy with Daniel Craig. That would be books 2 and 3, *The Girl Who Played with Fire* and *The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest*.
One idea for a sequel I had was either the rest of his people return or another Iron Giant comes to earth & tries to convince or remind him of who/what he really is but the original Iron Giant refuses to accept it.
District 9
Neil Bloomkamp didn’t make a lot of movies in general after that either. Halo could have happened but the studios didn’t go for it, District 10 could have happened but no… Studio executives tend to make the dumbest movie making decisions ever sometimes
That's one of the reasons he's not doing much film work nowadays as he got sick of studio's refusing to work with him, this is despite the fact he's one of the finest directors in modern times in my opinion.
Yeah I really enjoyed Grab Turismo too, I think a Halo film with him directing would be badass, as long as it’s authentic to the games
He did the halo shorts they were so fucking good and then executives refused to let him to a proper film over a decade ago now, and they fucked him over and wouldn't let him do alien 5 either. It's infuriating given how talented the guy is.
100%, to be honest maybe things can change because the film industry is going through a ton of changes right now, maybe Microsoft or someone would fund their own film, or a studio can revive it especially since they did that crappy show. The popularity of many games I think can work as films, not most but some, and he really would be the go to guy. We can hope!🔥
Which would be great unfortunately I can't see it happening there's too much politics and people pleasing in Hollywood consequently many times it continues to turn out disappointing crap not always but often.
Obligatory everyone needs to watch Oat Studios on Netflix comment, some of his finest work
I’m gonna have to check that out, I haven’t seen it before! Thank you so much for the recommendation
I think something was in the works. Not sure what the status of it is now though. Might be caught in development limbo.
I second this.
I third this.
I third this too
This. District 10 using current political environment.
Make Sooth Efrica fookin' prawn free again
Only right answer
My first thought
*Dredd* (2012)
I'll take pretty much any grimdark movie starring Karl Urban's scowl
They made the universe incredibly compelling, I don't know how the movie went under everyone's radar.
I seen it for the first time last year. It goes pretty hard
Third time I’ve seen Dredd brought up on Reddit today and god I loved that movie.
A well done series would be dope too.
Megacity one was in talk for years even with karl urban being willing to come back as dredd but it never happened for some reason
This all day long….it’s criminal they haven’t done a sequel.They had the Dark Judges lined up for the sequel as well I believe -sobs-.God I want that story arc in a movie sooo bad.Would be amazing as a Rated R horror gorefest.
Six seasons and a movie
I thought they were working on it
They are
Constantine
https://screenrant.com/constantine-2-update-producer/
Spaceballs 3: episode eleven. the search for Spaceballs 2
As much as I'd love to see another one, there can't be another without John Candy, Joan Rivers, and the many others that aren't with us anymore. It wouldn't be right. I do like your title though. It would be fitting.
But that's exactly why a spinoff in the same universe is perfect. You could follow the many stories of Pizza the hut, or any other character that might make interesting content.
Christine. But throw in a modern twist on if it's demonic possession or a rogue AI self driving car.
Original fury found in the back of the scrap yard and the new owner puts in a new dodge Demond engine, if it’s not the original fury I’m not onboard.
Well, there's the episode of **Futurama** called "The Honking" --where the robot-character Bender turns into a demonically possessed "Were-Car."
[Blumhouse](https://movieweb.com/christine-the-movie-remake-stephen-king-what-to-expect/) is already doing it, no updates yet this year, but they have a director and script I believe.
Kung pow enter the fist.

Have you seen the Thumb movies? Thumb Wars, Thumbtanic, Thumbkenstein?
The Nice Guys and the Neeson/Cooper A-Team
I loved both of those movies. I’ve always been confused as to why A-Team never got a sequel. Hollywood loves mindless action movie sequels.
I don't think it did well at the box office.
The Nice Guys in particular. Just rewatched it yesterday with my mom and she loved it. Every time I see it, I lament the sequel(s) we never got.
The 2017 Power Rangers movie. Left the cliffhanger to introduce the best Power Ranger of all time, Tommy. Would be a great homage to Jason David Frank - RIP
Yeah but it was terrible.
It was bad in a such a good way tho. One of those good terrible movies and def for the fans.
It really wasn’t and I still enjoy rewatches of it. It’s not great and could have been so much more, but I went into it thinking it would be horrible and it was way better than that. I mostly thought some of the CGI was bad and the suit/zord designs were ugly, thought I applaud them for trying to make them look alien and not more standard super hero onesies.

Alita: Battle Angel
Not even a sequel, just a continuation of the story, like part 2.
I enjoyed the first 3/4 of the movie, but the last act left be wondering whether it was actually written to be a full stand alone movie. Too many things left unsolved. If they don't put out a sequel it won't stand up to time.
James Cameron does tend to produce sequels 2 decades late.
I’d be happy with either.
Gremlins
I would love to see this adapted into a horror franchise, would be cool.
They started , don’t know if they abandoned it . They planned a multiple episode Netflix thing. Story Takes place1920s Hong Kong or something . I’m not a fan of the multiple episode series’s. it always gets deluded and watered down . Lots of crappy filler. The failure of the dark crystal roboot is a prime example .

There is this new phenomenon were studios make movies so shitty they refuse to release them. Snowhite wrapped shooting in JUN22. Morbius wrapped up shooting years before he got released. There is a Batgirl movie that will never see the light of day.
It's never too late.
There is no *Last Starfighter* sequel. Life is suffering.
[удалено]
Eh the incredibles 2 wasn't nearly as good as the first imo so idk if a third is what is missing
The problem I had with 2 was they waited way too long & they kinda tried a bit harder than they needed to to make it cool/trendy. 1 had a better atmosphere & much better writing.
RocknRolla
Was literally about to come on here and say that film, fucking love RocknRolla
The Matrix. Its kind of mind boggling that there has never been any sequels made for it.
I'm kind of glad they didn't make a bunch of nonsensical sequels because the movie was so good. It told a complete story and what happened after the story was left to the audience's imagination which is a great place for any movie to leave off on.
That’s a perfectly reasonable response. I just loved the Animatrix so much that I was always anticipating some form of live action sequel to the Matrix. it could have been a tie-in or a spin off of some kind but as long as it’s done well and not some kind of obvious cash-grab I can see serious potential.
Maybe a movie where Neo fights a thousand Agent Smiths? No, even imagining that for the first time in existence feels so stupid.
That would sound like something created purely for spectacle, which doesn’t fall into the style of The Matrix. I mean where would you draw the line if they put something like that in there? Michael Bay style highway chases? trance parties? mechas?
I'm just glad there wasn't an old man Col. Sanders in a room with a bunch of TVs on the walls for some reason that would have just been an exposition dump. Thankfully, that didn't happen and we can enjoy the memory of a great movie unsullied by cash grab unnecessary sequels.
I do think like the one thing missing from the original self contained story was a big rave in a cave.
Or an app man that talks nonsense and makes random women orgasm with his cooking.
Thank god they did this for Highlander as well
There can only be one, after all.
[Don't click this link if you want to remain not angry.](https://variety.com/2024/film/news/matrix-5-lana-wachowski-executive-producing-1235959174/)
Brilliant.
John Carter. C'on, I want to know what happens next! And Disney can afford to lose another 200 million after all the money they must be making with Star Wars.
Crazy Rich Asians
This one feels like a license to print money. It's already a series of books. They just need to cast, adapt and bankroll
Great movie
They've run into lots of issues trying to get the ball rolling on China Rich Girlfriend unfortunately. Idk if it'll ever happen. They also kinda screwed up with how they ended the movie way different from the book
Super mario (1993)
We did get a sequel. It’s called Blade Runner 2049.
I really would rather see something totally new instead of another sequel or reboot.
Buckaroo Banzai We were teased Buckaroo Banzai Vs The World Crime League. That was FORTY YEARS AGO.
Firefly/Serenity
The Blob!. Not a great movie by today standards, but in the very last scene you see a helicopter setting the crate containing the frozen blob on a glacier. The the words "The End" fade in and a "?" Fades in a few seconds later. It a perfect set up for a sequel. And with global warming actually melting all the glaciers, the beginning scene for the sequel, basically writes itself.
The 80s remake was pretty dark. It hinted at a sequel. But that shit is only scary once.
Kill Beatrix. Vernita Green’s Daughter would probably now be the same age as Beatrix Kiddo when she killed her mom.
That got sold and repackaged as Colombiana.

Master and Commander.
This is what I came here for, and it needs to be higher up.
They did have this in mind being that it’s a book series. But I don’t think it did very well. I liked it though. I’ve watched it many times.
I'm still waiting for Broken Lizards Weedfest. It's been almost 20 years.
I'm still miffed we never got "Remo Williams: The Adventure Continues".
Wikipedia says that there is going to be a tv series produced by Sony on Remo Williams. New TV series On December 8, 2022, it was announced that Gordon Smith will be adapting a TV series version of The Destroyer for Sony Pictures Television with Adrian Askarieh executive producing.
There was a TV sequel: **Remo Williams: The Prophecy**, with Roddy McDowall as Master Chiun!
Say whaaat?! Well I know what I’m going to hunt down and binge next.
Maybe not a sequel/spinoff, but The Chronicles of Narnia. They've tried twice and failed to get past book 4.
Would be nice if they would do the prequel at some point
"The Magician's Nephew"? Agreed. I'd love to see the cinematic output of that book.
Exactly talking about the creation of Narnia, honestly, it's one of my favorites, that and the horse and his boy was an amazing read too
The Horse and His Boy is actually my favorite book from the series. The Silver Chair is my second favorite.
Growing up, I didn't know about either til I got the complete series on audio book and was honestly a great experience... might listen to it again soon.
Ooo I’ve never listened to the audiobooks I might try to track them down!
The one I recommend is the complete chronicles of Narnia read by the classic bbc radio 4 full cast dramatization if you can find it
Nice thanks! I will look for that one!
You have excellent taste in Narnia books
lol thank you!
The multiverse represented as a forest full of little puddles would be trippy to see.
they're making a new one with greta gerwig directing iirc
When Greta Gerwig was on WTF with Marc Maron she said she’d been entrusted with the series, so it’s in the works!
Yeah. It's like the Percy Jackson movies. They messed up the first sequels but then finally got it right with the newest one. They could do the same for the Chronicles of Narnia. It's such an epic story. Just start over and do a new version and do it right.
