While I like the original two Mummy movies (Scorpion King was OK), I am not sure what the point of remake or continuation would be.
The point is that I want Brendan Fraser to have more money and I love him
Thats about the only reason I perked up when I saw the headline.
On that note I'd love a Monkeybone sequel.
I accept that it will be terrible, I just want it.
Monkeybone wasn't terrible!
It wasn't a well acted or constructed story with amazing dialogue but it set out to be an incredibly weird niche movie with a specific vibe and it nailed that vibe perfectly!
10/10 movie in my books. It did exactly what it was planning to do.
Oh, I agree. I just think it was lightning in a bottle that can't be captured twice. I just want someone to prove me wrong.
Making money for the IP owner.
I would prefer if this wasn't the only accomplishment of a hypothetical sequel.
The people making sequels only want to accomplish that. That’s the whole point of sequels and franchises.
Nobody in charge is thinking: “gosh that’s an important or interesting story that has some more depth in it. We should explore that concept in a new way”
It’s always: “that movie sold enough to justify risking money on producing another product that sells just as much”
What is the point of any book, movie, song, piece of art?
That's a very good question that doesn't really have an answer.
I am just not a fan of random sequels, remakes and faux-adaptions (e.g. Foundation or The Man in the High Castles).
Make a sequel by all means, but make it a unique experience, make it something new, give people that "wow, I didn't expect that!" feeling.
