what are some of the sequels or prequels you've heard about, not necessarily looking forward to?
* Exorcist 4:1- Liam Neeson plays a young Max Von Sydow in his first adventure fighting a devil. Ryan Philipe is his sidekick. Greatest scene is when the devil threatens to eat his soul if he doesn't play the greatest song in the world.
* Indiana Jones 4- it's definitely a go, unfortunately. is there any way this can be good. why can't they let this die?
* Terminator 3- according to AICN and this 24 year old hot blonde model is the female Terminator. movie will still suck though but I thikn they casted eD norton as an older ed furlong.
* Red Dragon- prequel to Silence, remake of Manhunter. Norton as the guy from CSI role (bad choice he's a great actor but he doesn't seem write for the role). Hopkins is once again playing Lecter and is being computer de-aged. Once again, probably going to suck.

American Psycho 2. Nuff said.
I might protest outside the theatre, then kill people.

the book was so verbose and went into such detail during eplanations of what someone was wearing that it made me want to rip my hair out with a pair of vise-grips. it was torturous to read.
i'd definitely look forward to seeing a sequel.

do you really want to see it?
- LZMF1 - 02-22-2002
if you're for real, hell yeah.
- Galt - 02-22-2002
While I think you are 100% correct that the movie was much better than the book, I feel you are 100% wrong in your assessment in potential of this movie.
I don't know if I hate you.
Christian Bale made that movie. It was phemonenal becuase of him. It was a crime that he didn't get nominated for an Oscar during that pisspoor year of movies.
American Psycho - Bateman = sucky.

I really enjoyed the novel and while I thought it was better than the movie since you got more into Bateman, I actually liked the chronology of the movie better. I thought that the timeline of the movie worked more gooder including placement of monologues and the phone call to lawyer--> Harry's bar. But a lot of the movie itself came from Ellis' phenomenol book.
I won't say that it was only Bale who made the movie since of the source material but Bale himself was phenomenol and he should have been nominated for best actor. Bateman better, darker, and more interesting than either Castaway Guy or Maximus. American Psycho as a whole was an intelligent, comical satire that's also very enjoyable to watch. As for AP2, while I won't take Mila Kunis' hotness away (she's playing the psycho), there is no way this movie can work. You don't have the brilliant backing, you have a dead Bateman, you don't have the satire or wit that made the first work so well and what you'll have is a campy slasher whoring out the name of American Psycho.
MIB2: I saw the trailer and odds are I will see it. Tommy Lee Jones is the man.

The Batman Beyond movie is defunct- it's just unfeasible to do.
And though these aren't sequel/prequels, these are remakes which I guess could count:
A Michael Bay remake of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.
And an all-CGI blood remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD.

Analyze That is being casted, has a full script, and they are starting shooting in a few months

I normally don't mind sequels, but what bothers me is seeing a really good movie, and they ruin the ending by making it absolutely necessary to have a sequel. I don't mean the movies that are parts in an already written story. I mean original movies that could be good if they stayed as one movie.

Miramax is, oh dear God why, remaking Akira Kurosawa's classic film THE SEVEN SAMURAI, which was remade as the great The Magnificent Seven.
Quote:'Samurai' Unleashed Again
By Jonathan Bing
NEW YORK (Variety) - Miramax Films and MGM will co-produce a contemporary retelling of Akira Kurosawa's classic saga of dueling Japanese warlords, "The Seven Samurai." One of the Japanese auteur's most influential films, "Seven Samurai" first got the Hollywood treatment in 1960 when John Sturges remade the picture as a Western, "The Magnificent Seven," with an all-star cast, including Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson.
In the Kurosawa picture, which was nominated for two Oscars (news - web sites), a poor village besieged by marauding bandits hires seven samurai warriors to defend them, offering only handfuls of rice as payment.
Miramax Films co-chairman Harvey Weinstein described "Seven Samurai" as "the mother of all 'guys on a mission' movies."
MGM and Miramax haven't yet determined whether the remake will be set in Asia, the West, or some other contemporary context. MGM will distribute domestically, while Miramax will handle its international release.
