    Damn, Top Gun got studios looking hard at legacy sequels now that superheroes are fading. Who is the audience for this? Or is it just content for a streaming service?

      My thinking is digging into the vaults means they don’t need to license new IP. It’s a cost saving tactic.

    I mean, okay, fine, if they can get the original cast on board, and not try and turn it into a fucking franchise. A single sequel with the family having aged, ideally with a totally unrelated plot involving the next generation with the previous cast taking a back seat? Fine, whatever. I won’t be hyped because that movie didn’t need sequel at all. It was a great movie (though not high art, it’s a really enjoyable little romp), with a great ending. End of story.

    Next thing you know, they’ll be trying to fucking reboot witches of eastwick

    Oh I love the original, Kidman’s lack of acting ability notwithstanding. Leave it alone you money grubbing knobs; we don’t need a sequel.
