Movie Sequel Ideas

Since Hollywood has obviously run out of any original movie ideas, I've come up with a couple of movie sequels that need to be made.  Next week, I will be writing about some remakes that could have some potential:

  • True Lies - You loved this movie, I loved this movie, and a sequel would make a lot of sense considering how the first one left off with Arnold and his wife now as tag-team spies.  Bring back Tom Arnold and a now hot Eliza Dushku (she was really young in this movie and has definitely blossomed since).  Plus, based on the movies that Arnold is doing nowadays, he will certainly sign up for a True Lies sequel.  Also, anything James Cameron does is pure box office gold, so why not make this thing.
  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - I really can't think of a plot for this movie, but I really want to see a bunch of cartoon characters running around again like in the original.  However, to make this movie even better, they should throw in a bunch of more modern cartoon characters like Peter Griffin, Bart Simpson, Bender, Cartman, Master Shake, etc.  You know you would go see this movie just to find out if Eric Cartman is the villain.
  • The A-Team - I know that the first A-Team movie was pretty dumb, but they almost nailed it.  The biggest weakness of that movie was casting an MMA fighter (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson) as B.A. Baracus.  That guy was beyond terrible.  Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson were pretty good as Face and Hannibal and Sharlto Copley was the perfect guy to play Murdock.  So, all they need to do is find a new B.A. Baracus and I think they will have themselves a movie.  Who would I pick?  Common would make a pretty good choice, but if you really want to bring a talented actor on board, they should cast Idris Elba.  He could easily bring the intensity that Rampage just couldn't pull off and slapping a mo-hawk on the guy wouldn't look weird which is important.  Get this done, Hollywood.
  • Back to the Future - Sure, this is an impossible movie to make a sequel for because of Michael J. Fox's ailment.  But I think they could use his Parkinson's to their advantage.  Basically, they could say that time travel causes all sorts of terrible side effects that Doc didn't see coming, but McFly and the Doc have to travel in time once again to save something or other that will affect the future.  Hell, they could even throw in a villain that has created his own time machine and they have to find a way to stop him before he causes Hitler to win WWII or something.
  • Big Trouble in Little China - This might be better if they remade it, but I don't want to see anyone other than Kurt Russell playing Jack Burton.  I know the original was cheesy, but it was still a fun movie and I want to see another chapter of Jack Burton's truck-driving adventures.  Of course, as long as they don't bring back Kim Cattrall (the slutty chick from Sex and the City), this thing has some potential.
  • Ghostbusters - This one almost happened and still needs to happen only because I miss Rick Moranis and he said he would come out of retirement for a third Ghostbusters.  Did you know that Dan Aykroyd even wrote a script for this movie shortly after the second one that had the title characters going to a version of New York that only exists in Hell?  Yup, that was the original idea, but I'm sure they would have done something a little more tame had this thing gotten off the ground a couple of years ago.  My only problem with a sequel made with today's CGI is that I always liked the way the ghosts looked in the original two films, aka crappy.  I think if they stuck with crappy looking ghosts, a sequel will be incredible.

"Saying she has blossomed since True Lies might be an understatement."
