The Great Outdoors Sequel!?

[DarkKnight88]

I smell a Blues Brothers 2000!

Howie and I are working on the sequel, called The Great Outlaws. I am looking for the Candy figure. There are some really interesting names, but I can’t say who. Howie and I are tickled to bring back Roman as a Ponzi scheme guy who victimizes a federal agent. Who knows? If I find the right partner …

I can't really see this going anywhere but I thought Aykroyd would have learned his lesson from Blues Brothers 2000. I guess Afterlife got to his head. A Ghostbusters sequel can still work without Harold Ramis but just like BB 2000 didn't work without Belushi, a Great Outdoors sequel won't work without John Candy.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Aykroyd is a crazy man and I love him for it, but he should stick to making vodka.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Stop Dan.


It's over.

You futzed around with GB3 for decades.

Time has passed you, and frankly it did so a long time back.

Retire.

 

[Vaibow]

I just don't think people are interested in watching DA anymore.

I would rather he just produce new talent in a similar set up - so many films are formulaic that we wouldn't even notice.
But Candy is unique...

 

[Babillygunn]

The original is from my generation, but if I’m being honest, it kind of sucked. Or at least Aykroyd did in it.

 

[Mysteryman]

I did not expect to see a Sign of the Apocalypse when i logged in!

 

[JubJub86]

Yeah, Aykroyd's kinda out of his mind as of late.

Still psyched to see him and the old gang in GB3 though. But this...woof.

 

[Drizzle]

I can't really blame him for it. The last time the poor guy headlined a movie was when he voiced Yogi Bear. He seems like a nice guy who just really misses the good old days. Belushi's death really messed him up.

 

[DarkKnight88]

This clip of Aykroyd’s apparent hate for Paul Feig still makes me laugh.

So it's going to be Josh Gad isn't it?

 

[Spider-Fan]

This idea is worse than Triplets

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Great Outdoors is an 80s classic and the reason the movie worked so well was in large part because of John Candy. I don’t see how a sequel would work

I'll actually go out and say...

Great Outdoors is not at all a classic.

It was on cable when a chunk of the fan population were growing up but on release and in the subsequent years it's never really been looked at as anything other than a National Lampoon's Vaction lesser clone.

Just cuz Candy and Ackroyd are involved doesn't make it classic... Or good.

 

[Mysteryman]

Going To see Ghostbusters Afterlife because of Nostalgia & Missing Harold Ramis.

Dan is not is not really a draw for me.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Last I heard ,they are still making Triplets.

I know, which is why I used it as an example

Some movies just don't need or shouldn't get sequels. Leave well enough alone.
