    The Hateful Eight.

    I'm curious what that sequel would entail.

    Just don t call it The Hateful Nine.

    It'll be:
    The Hateful Zero, as it's three hours of silence in a quiet haberdashery filled with corpses.

    No, when Diasys gang finally arrive they blame the town for hiding her killer, and its down to the local deputee to solve the mystery and end their rein of terror. Directed by Shane Black.

    That assumes that Daisy wasn't bluffing and there really were more men hiding in Red Rock, though - the whole film is awash in mystery and not really being able to believe what everyone is spewing. I personally think she was lying, but I guess I'd never turn down a sequel to this movie in some way, shape or form.

    I also want Ocean's Fourteen coming out. Rather than the half-arsed rushed cash in that was Ocean's Eight, which was awful to say the least, I'd rather have a proper sequel to the Steven Soderbergh-directed trilogy with the same team that made the trilogy itself.
    I agree. Unfortunately it was agreed that they would never make another because Bernie Mac died in 2008.
    Yes, which is a shame. Without losing respect for Bernie, however, I hope that "pact" would be broken and we'll get a proper sequel to that. If - and I'm saying if - we get Fourteen, I'd really rather they don't set it in Vegas. Above all, however, I want Soderbergh, composer David Holmes, cinematographer Peter Andrews and editor Stephen Mirrione all to come back. We've seen how a different team handled an Ocean and how miserably they failed.

    I just don't see how they could continue the story. The one not set in Vegas was the weakest.

    I disagree wholeheartedly. Ocean's Twelve was not weak in the slightest. If anything, it was clever as a whole, whereas Thirteen, while great and all, crawled back to the threshold of the first one, trying to beg for what made the first rise to popularity. In a manner, they tried to remake it. People just didn't understand Twelve as well as they should have at the time.

    As for continuing it, they don't have to continue any arc. They just have to execute a reasonable but very astonishing heist that's groundbreaking. Otherwise, we could've said the same thing about Mission: Impossible, and say they couldn't have continued it past the third film.

    I'm telling you, if you want to see a great heist movie, ok good heist movie, check out DC's Logan Lucky.
    It's full of twists and turns. Keeps you on your toes.
    And I do like the double shot of great looking females co-stars in Riley Keough and Katie Holmes.
    Holmes, like Evangeline Lilly in Ant-Man and the Wasp, looks as good as ever.

    Jason Bourne

    I hope we get another Bourne film soon too. I liked the last one, it was really cool seeing Damon back. The main problem is I think they keep repeating themselves (Bourne vs the CIA in European cities) but the last one changed things up a bit with the social media/surveillance story and the Vegas setting. I thought they did some cool stuff with the character in the last one too.
    Damon was 'born' to play Bourne. I agree that it was great to see him back in his signature role two years ago. He looked great too, especially after almost a decade since the last one. I agree that the film itself retreaded old ground, but I could understand that given they had been away for so long. It was a sort of 're-establishing' film.

    I think there are many directions with which they can take the series if they want to, but I don't think the team's heart is really in it any more. One has to really want to do these sort of films, because they take a lot out of the actor and team physically. Damon is in his late 40s now and not everyone can be an energizer bunny like Tom Cruise.
    ---

    The film I'd really like a sequel to is The International (2009). I think the original is one of the greatest thrillers of the 21st century so far. It's atmospheric, suspenseful, beautifully lensed, with a great score, wonderful locations and intense performances by all. In addition, the subject matter is still relevant today. The film has a bit of a 70s flavour too, which is also to its credit. If all that wasn't enough, that shootout at the Guggenheim is one for the ages. It will never happen of course, but one can hope.

    You, me and @chrisisall does at least! That probably won't make a sequel closer to happening, but maybe as it's still relevant there's that little chance…?

    Much to enjoy about The International though. I also agree completely with the 70's feel - as did Owen himself apparently (from Wikipedia): In April 2007, Clive Owen agreed to perform in The International. He said the script interested him because he was reminded of "those '70s paranoia pictures" and because it combined a factual, intelligent basis with an international thriller plot."

    The Raid 3
    The Good Guys 2

    Speaking of Shane Black:
    Lethal Weapon 5: there is a treatment that Shane Black wrote, I think it was fifty pages or something. Riggs and Murtaugh are in New York (I don't know what the background story was to get them there), to stop a huge shipment of drugs coming in via the docks on the worst snow storm of the year (of course, this being Black-- it'd hafta be around Christmas time).

    A proper Die Hard sequel. A few years ago a couple of indie filmmakers took out a full page ad in some of the trades. It was their pitch for a real DH sequel. If memory serves, this would have been on the thirtieth anniversary of the Nakatomi attack. John McClane is flown out to Japan for a special commemoration and to receive an award. And, of course, with the world watching, terrorists strike again.

    From what i heard, the guys who pitched this didn't get the gig (supposedly Len Wiseman is still running the charge on this one (half takes place in the 70s with a young John McClane, the other half takes place in the present)). But they did end up getting a horror film, or something...

    That sounds like a great synopsis! Can't see how a DH film with half of the movie taking place in the 70's can work; it seems easier to just make another present day film with Willis if you ask me.

    I wholeheartedly agree @Torgeirtrap -- I think their pitch is far better than whatever Wiseman's cooking up. No one wants a John McClane Begins project. He's a simple cop from New York that found himself in extraordinary circumstances.

    The indie guys pitching this are onto something good: a commemoration day marking the 30th anniversary of Nakatomi (grounded), in Japan (a cool and unique setting), with the world watching (very cinematic) feels more like a DH story that would happen today.

    @peter, did you mean a sequel to The Nice Guys? If so, I couldn't agree more, I loved that movie. The only update I ever heard on any sort of sequel was it getting a female-led TV series, for some unknown reason.

    Yes, yes @Creasy47 -- The Nice Guys. My bad. Loved this film.

    And seriously??? A female-led TV series??? Smacks of PC'ness. The film was a throwback to the non-PC days. Smoking, drinking, swearing, more drinking and pornos...

    "Smacks of PC'ness" - spot on. That's someone saying "Let's take what people loved about this film and instead of doing a sequel, do a television series that doesn't remotely seem to touch on the original work that everyone enjoyed in the first place."

    It seemed like a quite original idea, really. Placing McClane in a new setting has been done before of course, but a new setting somewhat connected with the original is a clever thought. Did the pitch place the setting during Christmas too?

    For me, Die Hard/Die Hard 2 are both Christmas films, and it would be really fun for a future DH film to take place around that time of year as well.

    Regarding the Len Wiseman script; is the 70's part perhaps based on the Die Hard: Year One comic book written by Howard Chaykin?

    By the way, on Wikipedia it says that Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes have been enlisted to rewrite the script. Perhaps the 70's angle will be dropped?

    I'm not sure if the DH pitch was to take place at Christmas, @Torgeirtrap. But that would be a nice, full circle setting, wouldn't it? And I think you may be right about the DH: Y1 comic book being the influence on Wiseman's idea.

    I just looked, and according to the imdb page for Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes, they're calling it DH Y1... so it looks like this is staying for now.

    The Hayes' brothers have recently focused on horror films. Why the studio isn't getting some strong thriller/action writers on board of DH boggles my mind...

    Didn't notice that! I guess the Y1 in the title says it all (unfortunately). I haven't read the Y1 comic book, but by the description it looks like a story set in the 70's and only then (which is classic Chaykin by the way, as he does a lot of period stuff). Will be interesting to see if they can tie this together in a good way.

    I'm not too familiar with the Hayes' brothers. If they've only done horror films, I'm a bit worried, as horror films - as far as the titles I've seen, isn't too focused on story - only the shock factor.

    While I have grown to like H20 more over the years, I wish we could have had a H7 that continued from H6.
