I couldn't agree more - Hughes would have to be involved, as well as all three principals (or at least Ruck in addition to Broderick). It would probably feel similar to Office Space in this day and age, but I'd be first in line regardless. The only other downside is that the two guys were so much older than high school when Ferris was made (especially Ruck, who I believe was about 30) that they couldn't pull off being younger than 45-50 for a sequel.<BR/><BR/>Shawn - yea, Schwimmer is not exactly an appealing lead. I guess he fit the awkward, Hoffman-esque qualities, but still is a meh.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-256349484993073172008-08-07T12:49:00.000-07:002008-08-07T12:49:00.000-07:00haha, thanks for the warning.

Perhaps that was a bad example. What I was really thinking of was Star Wars, but that was too obvious. <BR/><BR/>JD - I think you're fairly safe with Kane. I don't think anyone's dumb enough to attempt a remake or sequel to that. It's a lose-lose situation, unless maaaaaybe they went in a totally different, almost unrecognizable direction (like made it a kung-fu musical or something). But it's been 70 years or so - I don't think it's gonna happen now.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-21991391523693911012008-08-06T13:02:00.000-07:002008-08-06T13:02:00.000-07:00That's easy: a remake of CITIZEN KANE would make m...That's easy: a remake of CITIZEN KANE would make me go on a kill-crazy rampage.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe a sequel?

Those are just the kinds of movies that they like to make sequels to.<BR/><BR/>And as for Friday the 13th/Nightmare on Elm Street and the endless sequels... just take this in: they are no longer making sequels for either of those franchises. Instead, they're rebooting them.

However, that doesn't mean it shouldn't. And if it did, it wouldn't hurt me like a Princess Bride one or Stand By Me one. Still, considering Murphy's track record as of late, it would surely suck (and be "family-friendly" - ugh).<BR/><BR/>David - There's always the possibility that a long-awaited sequel is done right and was worth doing, but what are the odds? Especially considering the magic and fond feelings so many have for Princess, I'd rather they leave well enough alone. <BR/><BR/>Wayne - if Murphy really wants to go back in time, I suggest Trading Places ONLY because the film's structure leads excellently into a "decades later" plot where Murphy is now rich and trades with some young buck. Again, he'd f it up and go family on us, but with the right people involved, it might not be a travesty.<BR/><BR/>"Most films I wish never had a sequel, already have."<BR/><BR/>True. It was pretty hard to think of these. ;) Though, as you reference with Robocop, they can even kill us by never stopping with movies already sequelled to death (coughJasoncough).Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-42635215052205669342008-08-06T11:03:00.000-07:002008-08-06T11:03:00.000-07:00elgringo's right.

William Goldman includes the first chapter of the 'sequel' in more recent editions of his novel. Unless memory fails me, the sequel is called Buttercup's Baby. Laugh if you must, but that first chapter is intriguing. Since Goldman is a screenwriter it's not difficult to see a movie come from his work.David Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197460162322912519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-51276449480756560672008-08-06T10:45:00.000-07:002008-08-06T10:45:00.000-07:00Snowman...wow, that's great.I'd take that Returnin...Snowman...wow, that's great.<BR/><BR/>I'd take that Returning to Zamunda picture down.
