Prequels, sequels and remakes.... maybe?


My main hobby is watching movies. Love me a good flick especially late at night when the family is already in bed snoozing. I love looking up upcoming sequels to see what potential awesome or horrendous thing Hollywood has made. Here are some prequels, sequels and remakes that probably won't happen but if we wish hard enough maybe they will.

Back to the Future: Back to the Past - A Back to the Future prequel that portrays Doc Brown as a kid getting into all sorts of trouble with his wacky invention and experiments. Maybe an older version of himself visits him to give advice about the future.

Back to the Future: Part 4 - Set in 2030, Marty has a family of his own and his son travels back in time with Doc Brown to give advice to a younger and unwise Doc Brown. The question is which film comes out first, the prequel or sequel? Mind blown!

Titanic Remake - Rose dies this time. Jack finds a door to float on that only has room for one person. The rest of the movie is exactly the same.

The Return to Shawshank - A sequel to The Shawshank Redemption. Red (Morgan Freeman) finds Andy (Tim Robbins) after getting out. Turns him into the authorities and steals all the money he took from the warden. The lesson is you can never trust a criminal. Andy goes back to Shawshank. After 10 years he escapes again but is mauled and eaten by a bear.

Jaws: The Beginning - A prequel to the classic. It tells the story on how Quint (Robert Shaw's character) tortured Jaws and his family all the time for years. Since Robert Shaw died in 1978 they will have to find another actor to play Quint. I'm thinking Channing Tatum. The original movie Jaws is simply just revenge on Quint.

Zack and Miri Make Another Porno - Zack and Miri fall on hard times again. This time Kevin Smith comes out from behind the camera and gets in on the action. Let's just say in this one there is a lot of butter.

Doom Remake - The original movie was pretty terrible. I loved the video game as a kid. Back in the day on Super NES you couldn't save your progress, you had to beat the game without stopping. So in this movie it will just be some kid playing the Doom video game all the way through with only one life.

They always tried making movies on video games with no story.

I'd watch that Shawshank movie.
And it's like the last Tomb Raider film. It was dull. No soul. It may not be possible to make a great game to movie, but they can make them good enough to last multiple sequels like Resident Evil.

Don’t say it too loud since the executeoids in Hollywood might actual remake some of these. I heard they are remaking Home Alone...sigh, no imagination. Remake of Casablanca..Ilse tells both men to go fuck themselves, takes out an oozie and blasts all the SS Men and the. Giving the finger, proceeds with the young French Gal to go do some justice Rambo style, I. Germany and France. A remake of Roman Holiday...this time she stays with the newsman, abdicates and lives the golden life of a 1950’s housewife having 6. Kids, making dinner, bringing her husband his slippers and whiskey and dreaming of having an affair with her next door neighbour. There are so many more.

Ya know, all kidding aside (that is nearly impossible for me), a Back To the Future prequel would be pretty good.
Great Scott!

You've definitely come up with some remakes with a twist.
I'm not Betty White. Heh.

You just keep wishing on those...

You can keep all those remakes, redos, and re whatevers.

Jaw: The Beginning would be funny. Kinda reminds me of the movie, Orca. The killer whale chased that boat and those people around for killing his mate and baby. It was revenge.
