I present you... Raging Bull 2

In a short piece about the creation of a small new production company (Sunset Pictures) this morning, Variety casually mentioned that that company is currently developing ... Raging Bull, the sequel. What?! Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm under the impression that the people behind the company -- Martin Guigui, Dahlia Waingort, Pete Wooster and Thomas Baraka DiCandia if you want to write letters -- are pretty much the only ones on earth who think this is a good idea. According to Variety, the film will be based on an earlier bad idea, Chris Anderson's Raging Bull II: Continuing the Story of Jake LaMotta (released in 1986 and, not surprisingly, now out of print), and would focus on "the early years of boxer LaMotta." Gee, that sounds just fantastic.

Hands up, who want to see this movie? I mean, come on, people! What logic is possibly being employed in even thinking about putting this film together?

Leave the original be for god's sake.

What the f***...

Ha

 

[Bat Attack]

Goodness.

Because the original Raging Bull didnt cover the early years already? What the hell would even be interesting about this?

Oh god, Movies205 is gonna see this thread and yank out someone's kidney.

 

[Mister J]

This is a horrible idea. The original should be allowed to stand on it's own without this supposed prequel piggybacking off it. The fact that this film is attempting to cash in off the name 'Raging Bull' is more than likely an indication that it doesn't have anything solely of its own to offer.

 

[U.S War Machine]

who's responsible

 

[Motown Marvel]

i....oh god....wow...i...i just....i just kinda want to punch someone in the face right now...like, anyone....

 

[The Question]

My god. I have seen the face of death.

Much easier on the eyes than one would expect.







.....holy crap, they're making a Raging Bull sequel?! Those bastards!

 

[Lighthouse]

Worst. Idea. EVER!!!!!!!

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

I want prequels of every classic and then a sequel to the prequel which is followed by a remake then maybe a requel ummm....I give up.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Doesn't that excerpt say there already was one, though?

 

[Dr.Dude]

Seriously, would anyone really watch this? I mean, the people they'd wanna get hooked by using "Raging Bull" in the title are really the type of crowd who ain't gonna piggyback on such a useless prequel/sequel/etc... there's just no demand for one, at all.

Bleh, Hollywood...

 

[Carmine Falcone]

........................................................................what the ****ing ****?

This is just mother****ing absurd.

 

[Addendum]

...and I thought Hollywood had long since run out of idears...

 

[The Shape]

Haha. This thread is funny. Just everybody yelling and angry.

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

*presses button and randomly blows up some small third world country*

 

[Carmine Falcone]

IF it comes out I will never ever watch it.
Raging Bull is near perfect.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Oh man f*** them

 

[That-Guy]

A prequel, huh?

Oh, I get it. "Raging Bull Begins."

 

[Cinemaman]

As I can understand, they want to ruin another great movie

I hate them!!!
