What The Hell?! JAWS 5 Vs. DEEP BLUE SEA 2! GOONIES 2! SPIES LIKE US Remake! GREMLINS 3!

Published at:  Feb 09, 2007 6:02:46 AM CST

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

Direct-to-video is becoming a big business, and it looks like Sony has pioneered an idea that’s catching on at other studios now, low-budget sequels to some films there probably shouldn’t be sequels to. A few weeks ago, the news of the LOST BOYS sequel broke, and that one sounded sort of batshit. Check out some of the others rumored to be coming soon:





SPIES LIKE US remake

When the studios head to the vaults for inspiration…. You never expect them to come back with an old Chevy Chase/Dan Ayrkoyd movie, do ya?

“The film that introduced Donna Dixon’s buxom bosom the world, “Spies Like Us” (1985), a two-hander starring Chevy Chase and Dan Ayrkoyd as a couple of loser misfits who dwell in the lower ranks of the Central Intelligence Agency, is about to get the remake treatment. Warner teams with Imagine (yep, Brian Grazer’s a producer on it; change of pace for him, hey?) and Thunder Road on the pic.

Responsible for adding new life to the old concept are writers Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer and Dave Mandel. The trio worked on the 2004 comedy “Euro Trip”, which wasn’t too bad, so ya never know… this might actually turn out all right.”


www.filmrot.com EXCLUSIVE:

Jaws 5 going direct to DVD.

Universal Home Entertainment are prepping a fifth JAWS movie as one of their direct-to-dvd premieres. The studio wants to go head to head with Warner's DEEP BLUE SEA 2, which is also going direct to dvd, and also centres on killer sharks. One idea that has been suggested to the studio for JAWS 5 is that they completely forget about what happened in JAWS 3 and JAWS 4 and again have Roy Scheider's character, Brody, returning to do battle. Since Scheider isn't keen on doing any more JAWS film, it'll take some tough negotiations. At present, the only returning element of the series is..... yep, you guessed it, John Williams' iconic music score.


Maybe you`ve already seen this.......I hope it`s just a rumor and nothing more.

Do I want "Gremlins 3"? Yes.

Do I want "Gremlins 3" going STV with no involvement from Joe Dante, and all CGI creatures? NO.

Do I want "Goonies 2"? Yes.

Do I want "Goonies 2" going STV and (I`m assuming) having nothing to do with the original? NO.

Maybe you & your people can do some snooping around and find out if this 'news' is legit or not?

Thanks Harry!

    Worst news ever

    by abiggerboat

    I think jaws must be the ultimate "they shouldn't have made a sequal to" film. I mean, the second instalment wasn't bad - it just wasn't needed! And doing a STV goonies or lost boys sequals would be REAL disrespectful to their amazing predecessors. This, my fellow film-lovers, is dreadful news!!

    by franklin t marmoset

    As long they can keep the same sense of lunacy from parts one and two, I would watch this - CGI or no. In fact, I think it would be pretty cool to see computer-fied Gremlins, as long as they put plenty of imagination into it.

    by dirkd13"

    I've got friends, none of them particularly well-endowed in the IQ department, who only need to see the number 2,3,4 etc in a film title for it to be reason enough to rent or buy it. These are the kind of guys who are connoisseurs of the worst kind of films, as they don't particularly care about performance, dialogue, style, mood, theme etc as long as there's an explosion or pair of jubblies on the screen every ten minutes.That and Vern's reviews.

    by fecal debris

    didn't leak enough warm briney urine over the legacy that was the original "Jaws." They might have something if IF Roy Scheider signs on, because he's the man. But the script would have to be good, and I'm guessing Roy won't sign on unless it is good.
    What about Dreamscape 2? Look Who's Talking 5? Cannonball Run Strikes Back? Ghoulies 4? Remo Phillips 2? C'mon get your priorities in order.

    Gremlins should only be put into production if its a prequel, also it should be bit more darker than the first, the second was bollocks.

    Goonies 2 the adventures of chunk and sloth, should have them adventure to meet Micheal jackson just so he can say to the others that he has meet him.

    but I have no intentions of buying them. Lost Boys 2 without the coreys? without kiefer? thats even gayer than the first one. I used to always wonder (even as a kid) "why does he have a picture of a man on his wardrobe?" To be fair...this stv sounds better than schumachers "lost girls" idea. how shit would that have been? gremlins - I dont care about. Great example of a movie that has not aged well at all, and really isnt that good when watching it today. Funnily enough the sequel stands up a bit better...mainly due to its tongue in cheek approach. Gremlins, Goonies, etc.....the time for a sequel has waaayyyy passed. Spies Like Us was a great movie, and still is funny. As long a dan and chevy get a cameo, Im all for it.

    Yeah and then there'll be STBD or STHDDVD. I dunno. They're called movies because it's short for "Moving Pictures", although technically if it's digital it's not moving pictures anymore (especially since we're leaving interlaced behind for progressive). Maybe since the frames are more like flipping than moving through a lens now we should start calling films "Flippies"?

    "What The Hell?!"

    Indeed. There's probably a load of people who'd say lines to the extent of wishing that movies of today were like yesteryear (excluding DEEP BLUE SEA 2-that's just a unsurprised sequel). THAT shouldn't be conisdered to much with all the vanity of sequels and ripoff/non-original writing. Don't give me that franchise crap either. Those movies paid their dues back in the 20th century. For anything else, there's a likilihood of gossip to the amount of such movie will be LIKE some of the older stuff by small margin.

    a two hander is

    by emeraldboy

    a dramatic device in which there are no others actors around accept the two principle leads. It works on tv better then in the movies. A very good example of this was the christmas day episode of Eastenders over 20 years which was seen by 30, million peoople. The Then owner of the queen vic pub was dirty den watts(leslie Grantham) and he was married to Angie(Anita dobson, wife of Brian May) their on screen marriage was very volatile and so on christmas day 1988 den and ange had the pub all to themselves, were she told den that ange told den she had cancer and that lead to Eastenders greatest and finest hour, when den discovered that his wife hand lied to him about having cancer. Those who live in the UK and who visit this site will know well what followed. Consumed by rage after his wife treachary. Den delivered his christmas day bombshell present to his wife. A letter from his solicitor seeking a divorce from his wife and the way he said Happy christmas, with all that rage, bile rising on the tip of his tongue. It Was eastenders best moment and will remain so.

    they promised that they would be back at the end of Silverado, as i recall, but thus far there has been no Silverado 2. i say go ahead, make all these sequels. a low budget follow-up to a presumed dead sequel is not always bad - Rocky Balboa, anyone?

    the "Gotta Eat" comments were not funny to begin with, and all those making them are rather lonely, depressing retarded types. As they are the same monotonous idiots who have just enough money to ensure that Jack Black still gets work, i suppose they will not stop any time soon.

Technology never caught up with them so all of Data's gadgets are still slinky's and chattering teeth. Mouth still wears a Purple Rain t-shirt and so on.

    Yeah, I've got Roadhouse 2 but I got given it in a double pack with the cheesy 80's mini-masterpiece that is the original. Gotta love a film about bar fights that manages to work in two huge explosions and a monster truck.I also deliberately bought a nifty slice of sci-fi action thriller called Retroactive, starring James Belushi, M. Emmet Walsh and Nancy Travis. It's easily the best straight-to-video/DVD action film I've seen. (If you're reading this Vern I'd like to know your thoughts on this).Actually, where is Vern?

    Joe Dante never wanted to even do Gremlins 2

    by w3bzpinn3r

    He felt the original movie was perfect, and that a sequel would just be a lame attempt to make more money off merchandising. It wasn't until the studio gave him full creative license and a "huge" budget that he agreed. He didn't want to just remake "Gremlins", so he went the more comedic route, with a little hint of societal responsibility tossed in for good measure.

    John Glover did an amazing job as the Donald Trump-like real estate mogul. If the DID do a Gremlins 3, I'd want him to be back, but with a horrid comb-over this time. He could toss a gremlin into the sunlight, point, and say "You're FIRED!" ;)

    movies sequels that shoud have never been made

    by rdsxfan8

    along time ago me and my friends used to have a list of movies that didnt require a sequel yet one was made anyway. we used to say we wished we could just wipe these movies out of our consciousness.
    a goonies 2 or a jaws 5 ( unless roy jumps on board) would most certaintly qualify for this list.
    here are some of the ones on that list just to give ya an idea where im heading with this
    Caddyshack 2 ( replacing rodney with jackie mason was just a bad movie overall)
    ghostbusters 2 ( seemed to me like bill murray kinda phones this one in)
    why dont they just leave the old movies alone. they werent that great than 9 with the exception of jaws) but why drudge up the past. its like dating a girl who was just like your old crappy ex gf, ya know the one you dumped cuz ya couldnt stand her.

    I feel the original Gremlins is a masterpiece...

    by jimmylonewolf

    Seriously, as an "innocence-to-experience" tale its nearly on par with E.T.! Think about it, this is a GREAT coming-of-age story about the encroaching darkness of adfulthood replacing the gentle whimsy of childhood. Remember Phoebe Cates' monologue about her father's horrible death...MOST IMPORTANT SCENE IN THE MOVIE! When offset with the loving relationship between Billy and HIS dad, that scene takes on a horrific resonance that is actually more disturbing than ANYTHING those Gremlins can come up with. Thats what the film is saying: that the Gremlins are simply the realization that there IS a dark side in this world, and that love and devotion can be corrupted into defeat, disappointment, and evil. So there it is...thematically, Gremlins is airtight and damn near perfect. And damnit, Gremlins 2 was a whole lot of fun...and a great corporate satire!!
