Re: New Releases (Sequels)

Most of those films wouldn't really suit a sequel they were written with a single fim in mind. Dr who is a TV series and its still being made so a movie wouldn't work. The 2 movies made in 60's were just big budget remakes of existing stories.

As most of those were great movies and its been years since they were released I don't think it would be right if they suddenly brought out a sequel eg E.T 2 or Close Encounters 2 it just wouldn't be right.

but they said their would be sequels to them, ET 2 was supposed to be planned years ago, same with Indipendence day 2.

I think those 2 films deserve a sequel, and k-pax ended with a sequel in mind

The thing is, I don't think a sequel would work, either for Inpendance Day or ET. It would just be more of the same.

I think that the films that are ideal for sequels are those that are about characters, rather than specific events. The Harry Potter films for instance, are basically about Harry, Hermione and Ron and what happens to them each year. ET is about a boy meeting an alien, and their attempts to evade the authorities. What would the sequel be about? ET comes back and gets stranded again?

Similarly, Independance day is about the invasion of earth by aliens, and how we fight back. Would the sequel just be the Aliens invading again?

Re: New Releases (Sequels)

Well the Et could be coming back to take the now older boy to his planet or to make peace with Earth and he might be kidnapped etc.

or indipendence day 2 could be a mass war on earth after the last one failed.

I wish i had access to the apparent story for the sequels

All were crap, although no.2 wasn't as bad as the rest.

IIRC, the studio made Burton tack on that pointless & confusing ending.

But - 'Love Story' - I mean, what did he do after that?

And 'It's A Wonderful Life' -well, it was only half through...

Similarly, Independance day is about the invasion of earth by aliens, and how we fight back. Would the sequel just be the Aliens invading again?

IIRC one of the planned stories for Independance day, wich was to be titled frontier. Was to be set in our not too distant future, where we have started to colonize space (Using a lot of reverse enginered alien tech). We stumble upon the aliens original homeworld wich allthough has been mostly abandoned due to the aliens nomadic nature is still a stronghold. The aliens discover that we resisted and thus survived making us a bigger threat than ever and recall all of thier nomad ships to destroy humanity for good. This basicly sounds like more of the same to me but on a much larger scale and on a much more conventional SciFi plot (i.e. large battles in space).
While I think this might be a leave your brain at home type of movie I think it could be enjoyable. Though that was one of I think four different scripts planned for a sequel and this was just after ID4 had been released so there may well be more potential scripts out there now.
