Films that didn't have a sequel but fully deserved one.

[Kinky Gerbil]

Titanic.

But seriously tho' "Master and Commander" deserved another couple of movies from the series of novels that inspired it. Russel Crowe is fab in the film.

I always thought that was the idea?

So what do you reckon the characters would be doing now, around the 40 mark?

From left to right: Probation officer, Outward Bound instructor, social worker, retail buyer, pharmacist.

According to Wiki:

John Hughes' first draft of the film was originally scripted out to be a 2-1/2 hour movie. However, many of the scenes were cut out and the negatives destroyed. Among the cut scenes from the movie (some filmed, some only written) was the janitor Carl talking with Vernon about where the five kids will be in the future.

Bender (Criminal) will have killed himself.
Claire (Princess) will have had "two boob jobs and a face lift".
Brian (Brain) will have become very successful but die of a heart attack due to the stress of the high paying job.
Allison (Basket Case) will be a great poet but no one will care.
Andy (Jock) will marry a gorgeous airline stewardess who will become fat after having kids.

Hughes was firmly against a sequel - with his passing in August of this year, it all seems highly unlikely.

Shame.

Probably don't have enough material. Patrick O'Brian only wrote 22 books on Aubrey.

1. The man who shot Liberty Vallance.

2. American Graffiti

3. ET

4. Carry on Screaming

More American Graffiti (1979)

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

The Committments

Did have a sequel, The Van, I think. Also a prequel.

All part of Roddy Doyles trilogy. They were a lot more low key & budget but great films.

 

[withdeanwombat]

The Bible.

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

Scarface. Difficult with the end but maybe with paramedics rushing in at the beginning & saving our "hero" Tony Montana, anything to get him to reprise that role.

All sequels are shit. Could you imagine a sequel to Casablanca
