Movies that deserve a sequel

[JackBauer]

So, what movies do you think had great potential for sequels, or even to become a franchise, but for whatever reason, didn't?

To me, three pop immediately in my head:

-Unbreakable. Now, as is, it's already great. But when Shyamalan said he initially wanted to make it a trilogy, but couldn't because of the reception and box office, my heart broke.

-Serenity. Same case: also meant to be a trilogy. It did get a positive reception from critics, but it just (unfairly) didn't get the box office it deserved (or that Universal expected). I blame it mostly on the marketing. Best trailer I've seen for this was fan made for chrissake!

-Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Now, this is an unusual choice, I know. But, like Johnny Gossamer had his series of books (in the movie), Harry Lockhart deserves a series of neo-noir movies. A different girl in each movie (kinda like Harry's version of bond girls), a different kind of mystery, new sidekicks, etc.

What about you guys?

I thought Shyamalan wanted to tell the story iin three parts for one film, not a trilogy.

 

[Jack Rabbit]

Agree with Serenity, wholeheartedly.

Funnily enough, the first two movies to come to mind when I saw the title were Serenity and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Hmm, not keen on Serenity, but an Unbreakable sequel would be awesome, with Willis goin round quietly saving peoples lives.

Unbreakable 2 just has to be made, that movie was amazing and the ending left me wanting more, they could easily make a sequel. It wouldnt even cost much.

Um.....can't think of anymore. Most one shot movies were great, but a sequel would ruin them.

I agree, Sava, Unbreakable 2 sounds fine.

 

[Movies205]

This summer got me burnt out on sequel... PLEASE BRING BACK ORIGINAL CONTENT!!!

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

Thats true.

 

[Eggyman]

I agree, there are too many -- but some do deserve a sequel, where others that don't, get one.

 

[Immortalfire]

The Matrix (why did they stop at one?)

Uhhh

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Uhhh

He's suggesting the sequels are so bad they are not worth remembering.

Sahara!

Such a great movie, and there are far better books in the series. Perfect casting, would love to see the whole team return for more Dirk Pitt adventures. Way better than that National Treasure garbage, and quite honestly the only film to come even close to the spirit of Indiana Jones.
