This is actually a very difficult question. A lot of great movies ended the movie with no questions left unanswered, so I feel a sequel to any great movie would be disliked by near everyone who enjoyed the original.

For me, I would say a sequel to Detroit Rock City where the guys get back together to go see Kiss one more time.

I agree with this. At least in terms of films where a sequel would make sense, you could have a good story, and not crap all over the first one. As much as I like a movie like Fight Club for example (as previously mentioned) I don't see a logical sequel for it. Same with a movie like Inception, etc.

Blade Runner, although I dunno, it works fine as a stand-alone, but such a rich universe to play with for sequel / side-qual ideas.

Goodfellas, Forrest Gump and Scarface immediately come to mind.....although Scarface would kinda half to be a prequel to count.....

How about American History X? A sequel could pick up right where the first one left off. Granted it'd probably end up being a revenge type flick and it'd most likely be shit. But whatever.

Was originally gonna say this but I forgot the sequel was Ridley Scott's next project that would not have any of the original actors involved.

The "sequel" NES game doesn't count.

I had actually heard a rumor about that a few years ago, and the original cast were to "ensemble cameo" as the parents for the new leads. If there actually were some truth to it, it might be in one of those development limbos that keep it from seeing the light of day (like "Superman Lives!").

I remember seeing that too,i think the script or at least part of it was leaked online a few years ago.

Highlander reboot is supposed to be out next year. Without Sean Connery playing a Spaniard though,doesnt seem right.

that's not a sequel, it's a reboot.

Plus, I knew about it. I made the thrwad on it.

...Which has since buried with age, but still. :p

Its more of a sequel than the abortion that is Highlander 2,which didnt happen.

I did read a couple of rumours that it was going to be in the same 'universe' as the originals but seperate characters,kinda glad thats not the case,still needs Sean Connery though.

Exactly. There was no sequel, so it needs one.

I did read a couple of rumours that it was going to be in the same 'universe' as the originals but seperate characters,kinda glad thats not the case,still needs Sean Connery though.

Pretty sure Sean is too smart to get involved.

Not sure if there will be new characters or not, but it's already been juggled. We've gone from Iron Man's writer to Twilight's writer and from the director of Fast and Furious to the director of 28 Days Later.

It's like they're trying to find a way to dash fans' hopes worse than that last abortion of a movie.

I dunno,didnt he get $10million or something for 10minutes work on the 2nd film. Be interesting if the cast a Scotsman for a change though.

They did cast a scotsman. Just as an Egyptian. ;)

Pretty sure if Indiana Jones couldn't get him back, Highlander can't.
