Re-Do Sequel

[Optimus_Prime_]

If studios greenlight a redo sequel, in other words espounging the old sequel, what would you choose? I would choose Aliens 3

I guess we've seen this with Predators

 

[superhero]

spider-man 3

A redo sequel would make no money and just confuse audiences.

But if I could do one the answer is easy...X-Men the Last Stand. So much wasted potential in that movie.

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut...

... is the greatest re-done sequel ever. It's a flat-out masterpiece.

 

[Rocketman]

I want this in this order:

1. Batman (1989) - Tim Burton, Michael Keaton
2. Batman (1992) - Tim Burton, Michael Keaton
3. The Dark Knight Returns (2015?) - Tim Burton, Michael Keaton

Make that an official Batman trilogy for Burton and Keaton, and make Batman Forever and Batman & Robin some separate thing in Schumacher's La-La Land.

That way Nolan and Burton both get perfect trilogies.

Or, if Burton doesn't want to do it, at least get Zack Snyder to direct Keaton (Snyder has expressed extreme interest in it, anyway), and then it's a perfect Keaton trilogy.

Re-Do Sequel? You mean like Superman Returns?

Well there's precedent. Alongside Superman Returns, there's Predators and Universal Soldier: Regeneration.

Think Highlander 2

 

[Timstuff]

The Matrix Reloaded (well, not seriously, since I know they'd F it up, but I still hate The Matrix sequels)
Alien 3
Spider-Man 4 (as in, I want Spider-Man 4, not Amazing Spider-Man)

How is Predators a "re-do"?

 

[dude stannis]

According to the director:

Q: Where did the decision come from to abandon the other three Predator movies in the franchise or to not reference them at all?

NA: It's more so the last two films, of course, the first film is the one we were working off of but it was more so the AVP films we've dismissed.

Q: Not Predator 2?

NA: Well, Predator 2 was closer to the original film than what the AVP films later became so I was more the AVP films that we were dismissing

1. Bryan Singer's X-Men 3

2. Return of the Jedi - lose the Ewoks, instead make it that the Empire are using slave labour Wookies on Endor, the rebels free them and they join the fight.

3. Attack of the Clones - Make it a bounty hunter extravaganza, they almost did this, but in the middle section have bounty hunters going after Padme and Anakin on Naboo, their romance blossoming under battle conditions.
Also, make it that Jango Fett organises a Mandalorian army with a deal he makes with the cloners, using the same type of clones intended for the Jedi, and that is what the Jedi fight at the end of the movie, as well as the droids. The Jedi wipe out the Mandalorians, and Boba is left as the last of them. Then have the Clone army come in as the droids and last of the Mandalorians are overwhelming the Jedi just as in the movie.
Improve the lightsabre fight between Obi-Wan, Anakin and Dooku.

4. Spider-man 3 - keep it much the same, but tidy it up a lot, lose the ret-con to Uncle Ben's death, make Sandman put Aunt May in a coma(during one of his sandstorm rampages) causing BlackSuit-Spidey to want to kill him.

5. Batman and Robin - Keep Kilmer as Batman, cast a great actor in the role of MrFreeze, lose all the crappy puns, lose Thurman's annoying Mae West voice. Get Lee and Janet Scott Hatcher(who wrote the original story and screenplay to BF) to write it, as long as it was at least as good as BF.

6. FFROTSS - Keep it much the same, but improve the action, and attach a third act where Galactus arrives on Earth, in person.

7. Iron-Man 2 - Don't have Whiplash locked away in a tool-shed for most of the movie, give him the souped up armour early on in the film and have him going on a rampage in the city, let's see Iron-man in more crime fighting scenes in the movie. The movie should also open with seeing him sorting out some war situations, instead of that kind of thing just being referred to in the headlines.

A Redo Sequel?

Finally, we have a word to call films like The Incredible Hulk, Superman Returns (to Donnerverse's Superman), The Wolverine, and X-Men First Class (to Singerverse's X-Men).

Another re- word added to film vocabulary.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

A redo sequel would make no money and just confuse audiences.

If you are including prequels, there was also 'Red Dragon' which was a re-do adaptation of 'Manhunter', as they wanted Hopkins in the role of HL. MH was made by the same producers as SOLT(which *was* technically the sequel to MH, that is the way it was prepared by the producers, but they re-cast HL), it was the same film series re-doing a chapter, so the practice is not without precedence, and it made more money than the original version.

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

X-Men 3 would be an easy second for me.

 

[SuperFerret]

According to the director:

That's dumb considering that the Predator franchise (the entirety of it, movies, comics, video games, etc.) is planned out in such a way that each story is generally separate from the others. They could all be in continuity and not interfere with each other in any way.

Although I liked it Transformers 2 could have been better. The writers strike hurt this one & 2 weak villains & also John Turturro's ass.

Evil Dead 2 was a redo sequel, definitely a partial remake of the first Evil Dead since it avoided some aspects of the first movie like Ash killing his other friends & sister & only dealt with him & his Girlfriend Linda.

Terminator 3
