So it's not actually about Hamlet himself. Too bad. by Proman1984	Sep 9th, 2007 09:10:41 PM
Meta movies could be good but I'd rather see the return of the Prince of Dutchland.
Uh...Spoiler... by Bronx Cheer	Sep 9th, 2007 09:21:30 PM
Hamlet dies in HAMLET. That makes a sequel a pretty funny idea.
For a second there... by Johnno	Sep 9th, 2007 09:30:53 PM
I actually thoguht they were making a serious Hamlet sequel... Now that I know though I'm liking this!
Coogan is brilliant by SenatorJeffersonSmith	Sep 9th, 2007 10:10:26 PM
If this is half as funny as Tristram Shandy, count me in.
Sweet by krushjudgement	Sep 9th, 2007 10:43:29 PM
Sounds like a good premise.
Seems like a miss by Skellington	Sep 9th, 2007 11:25:24 PM
I'm sure it will be funny, but the unapologetic title kinda demands that you make the comedic sequel itself. Not some flick about a guy who has an idea to make the sequel with h.s. drama kids. (Hmmmm???)
And on that bombshell by abner pepper	Sep 10th, 2007 06:41:15 AM
I wonder if Courtney Love will be in it as Ophelia?
Will Shia play Hamlet's son? by beastie	Sep 10th, 2007 06:47:14 AM
I'm just asking. I mean it has been a while since the first Hamlet. 17 years, about. And Hamlet could have fathered a son in that amount of time.
its been done by ironic_name	Sep 10th, 2007 07:28:23 AM
he should have just twirled his mustache and said "ben stiller is next!"
Needs to cast Arnie by Saluki	Sep 10th, 2007 10:04:40 AM
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and Hamlet is taking out the trash.
something is rotten in the state of new mexico... by the_man_from_Rio	Sep 10th, 2007 10:16:18 AM
sounds like a great idea...color me interested...but who's to be the lead, the ghost of hamlet?
R&GaD by FOTL	Sep 10th, 2007 10:18:15 AM
@DerLanghaarige: R&GaD a sequel? Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are characters in Hamlet. Now, armed with that knowledge, read the title again...
This is going to be really funny by mrjoker	Sep 10th, 2007 03:11:53 PM
but I wonder how you could make an interesting Hamlet 2 since everyone dies at the end of Hamlet 1.
Hamlet 2 with Arnie by messi	Sep 10th, 2007 03:25:13 PM
that bit in last action hero still rates as one of the greatest things i have ever seen.
Funny...we almost did this for the unnecessary sequels: by TheRealSeveren	Sep 10th, 2007 04:59:06 PM
contest. Should be funny...
Steve Coogan Dated Courtney Love ? by MST3KPIMP	Sep 10th, 2007 06:04:59 PM
That is by far the most disturbing news of all. WTF!
Umm... by SPECTRE007	Sep 10th, 2007 06:37:51 PM
Doesn't this already exist in written form? My High School did Hamlet 2 like 15 years ago, and if memory serves it was a Neil Simon play.

Hamlet 2 - Yorrick's Revenge by Yeti	Sep 10th, 2007 07:23:31 PM
And if you listen reeeeeal closely you can almost hear pompus windbags like Harold Bloom blow a gasket over the very notion. Heh.
The title itself by 'Cholera's Ghost	Sep 10th, 2007 08:45:12 PM
Made me rotflmao.
Hamlet 2 - Hamleter! by TheNorthlander	Sep 10th, 2007 10:37:47 PM
Although what Hamlet really needs is a prequel to show us how much of a whiner his father was when he won podraces and built Rosencrantz from scrap.
Where is the love for Last Action Hero? by Daddylonghead	Sep 11th, 2007 05:09:03 AM
a highly underrated movie!
A strange mist surrounds Coogan by barnaby jones	Sep 11th, 2007 06:33:49 AM
His movies and interviews and public appearences suggest one thing and the tabloids suggest another. He's a funny one.
Also Last Action Hero is da bomb by barnaby jones	Sep 11th, 2007 06:35:07 AM
Rented that video like 10 times when i was kid.

Hamlet 2 would have to be about. . . by Ingeld	Sep 11th, 2007 01:51:42 PM
. . .the conflict that erupted between Horatio and Fortinbras. (All right, all right, I know the movie is supposed to be a joke.) Will it be directed by Harold Hecuba? I ask to be or not be, that is the question that I ask of me.
Harold Hecuba.... by The_Deathticle	Sep 11th, 2007 02:33:13 PM
Good one, Ingeld. I lol'ed at that. That's pulling some obscure Gilligan's Island shit out of your ass.

I don't know if the link will work on the talkback, but if you want go to: http://youtube.com/watch?v=OO2 eEwoqzX4 You can laugh your ass off. It is hilarious. By the way, no one is better than Phil Silvers.
