Forrest Gump II. What. the. fuck.

[Axlfreek]

A possible subtitle for the upcoming Forrest Gump sequel: When Forrest Met Tom. Paramount reportedly is finally ready to move ahead with a long-planned sequel to the Oscar-winning 1994 Tom Hanks dramedy Forrest Gump, with a script that would include a scene where Forrest meets the real Tom Hanks. Eric Roth, who won an Oscar for adapting Winston Groom's novel for the first Gump movie, also has written the follow-up, which is based on Groom's sequel novel Gump & Co. and finds Our Hero in need of a big dose of his trademark dumb luck ? as the single father left unemployed after the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. flops. Hanks hasn't yet agreed to star, though both he and Gary Sinise, Oscar-nominated for his role as Lt. Dan, are on producers' wish list ? Meanwhile, Oscar winner Matt Damon, set to star in his own sequels with Ocean's Thirteen and The Bourne Ultimatum, may also be signing on for a remake. Damon is reportedly in talks for Brothers, originally a Danish drama about two siblings, one who is sent to war in Afghanistan and one who stays behind and becomes a little too close to his sibling's wife.

Forrest Gump is one of my all time favorite flicks. but a sequel ?

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

As brilliant as Tom Hanks is, you just don't mess with a perfect film like Forrest Gump.

can you imagine hanks with his fucked up hair and huge blow fish neck revising the role as gump ? Fuck That

[tbizzle]

Don't mess with FG. its too damn great!!!

I'd still want to see it though if they make it.

[Robman?]

It sucks, because Tom is 50 now. He looks fine for a 50 year old, with the exception of his chin, 

Why not get his younger brother Jim to play the role?

[The Dog]

I heard the second book is just downright awful.  this would definitely taint the original movie (which is one of my faves).   What are they going to do next, make a sequel to shawshank redemption or something?  I crapped myself in horror when i heard they were making a prequel to Dumb and Dumber...that was just wrong.

[SLCPUNK]

Is this for real?

I absolutely loved that movie, one of my favorites, please don't ruin it with a crappy sequel.

So true.

Good one Hollywood, thanks for all your new ideas! Useless moneygrabbing, uninspired scum.

[CheapJon]

forrest gump is a movie that can't have a sequel, i can't even imagine how to make something good or anything out of it, what the fuck

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

man the first one was already crap, dont make us suffer more.
please.

[Lucky]

damn... I tought this was gonna be another "George Bush is a retard" thread....

[Izzy]

excellent film, really moving - but a sequal is just...wrong. Its not needed and would diminish the original

[Back Off Bitch]

Sequal wouldn't be cool...

There's a joke sequel in the movie "Cecil B. Demented" where it stars Kevin Nealon as Forrest Gump, it's pretty funny... 

[Ganja4Life]

the last couple years they've been remaking a bunch of old movies...house of wax,freaky friday...all them stupid crappy remakes(*cough no more original ideas cough*)...and now this?I mean seriously...

its probably gunna suck

[2NaFish]

god no. this is justing milking the cash cow.

although to be fair, the movie is a great adaptation of an average book, who's to say any re-write of the sequel would be awful??

me. thats who.

[2112]

hell no!

this is just like if there would be a new Rocky mov....

damn just wrong. One of the best movies ever shall not have a sequel. Because the sequel wont be worthy.

There arent a Waynes World 3, right?

[Elrothiel]

the last couple years they've been remaking a bunch of old movies...house of wax,freaky friday...all them stupid crappy remakes(*cough no more original ideas cough*)...and now this?I mean seriously...

its probably gunna suck

Actually House of Wax was amazing!! You get to see Paris Hilton die horrifically! (and even without that I would have rather liked it....)


But yes, this Forrest Gump sequel thing sounds really weird...

As for the way Tom Hanks looks nowadays, they could do what they did in Click with Henry Winkler and CG him to look younger...

i dont necesarily think they need to make him look "younger". he looks good for 50 years old and they can write the story around his age. he'll just need to do what he did for cast away, lose all that weight and get back into shape.

[Chief]

lame!

i would not see this!
