if you’re the kind of person who thinks
all your favorite movies should have a
sequel then this list is for you
Bueller Bueller welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 bizarre sequels that
almost happen it was not a rumor that
doesn’t die for this list we’re taking a
look at proposed movies that nearly went
into development but ultimately couldn’t
get off the ground which was probably
for the best since we’ll be talking
about major plot points from some of the
original movies a spoiler alert is
definitely in order number 10
searching for Kaiser Soze there is no
Keyser Soze after the end of the usual
suspects moviegoers were left with all
kinds of questions greatest trick the
devil ever pulled was convincing the
world he didn’t exist the film is a
classic because its finale is ambiguous
and closes with one of the most
celebrated twists in cinema
so Studios sought to fix that by making
a sequel where an all would be explained
and people could stop enjoying Bryan
Singer’s oscar-winning mystery so much
how do you shoot the devil in the back
what if you miss the sequel was
cancelled when studio execs finally
realized that ruining this film’s legacy
wouldn’t be worth it and saw this as the
bad idea it was eyes associate or no
crisis so see if Keaton is alive he’s
not coming up again
number 9 Jurassic Park 4 we need more
what please we need more teeth no no not
that Jurassic Park for silly turns out
there were many plant sequels to the
original trilogy but none of them got
off the ground some early ideas involved
dr. Ian Malcolm and dr. grant teaming up
again to fight the rising dinosaur
population another and more infamous
version and dinosaur DNA being spliced
with military soldiers to create
genetically modified super weapons
dinosaurs used by the military Yeah
right
it cost concede at we’re dogs of war
we know that the Mediterra needs to
reduce casualties we think we’re lucky
the Jurassic world turned out to be so
realistically awesome after so much time
in production hell I’m on your side
number eight Ferris Bueller to another
day off where are you
I’ve taken a day off that get dressed
and come on open on the list of movies
that absolutely need sequels Ferris
Bueller comes in just behind Schindler’s
List the plant follow-up involved a
grown-up Ferris taking a day off from
his high-paying job to get up to some of
his classic hijinks you thought we
wouldn’t have any fun there were a lot
of rumors surrounding the sequel but
according to Matthew Broderick no one
could agree on anything and so the movie
was shelved until further notice maybe
we’ll get a sequel set when Bueller’s in
his 70s as he escapes from his nursing
home as a rambunctious old man you
realize if we play by the rules right
now we’d be in gym until then this Super
Bowl commercial is the closest thing
we’re gonna get how can I handle work on
a day like today number seven
Casablanca to is looking at you kid
Casablanca is often cited as having one
of the most perfect endings of all time
so naturally a sequel was 100% necessary
right in the 1980s a follow-up was
written by Howard Koch the original
screenwriter for Casablanca I thought
I’ll be selling those for more money
than I have ever dreamed up in been a
deal Casablanca the story centered on
Rick and Elsa’s illegitimate son
traveling the globe to find his father
Joseph gordon-levitt’s name was thrown
around as a possible lead but the film
was ultimately shelved looks like we’ll
never see the beginning of Rick and
Louie’s beautiful friendship Louie I
think this is the beginning of a
beautiful friendship
number six Superman lives in 1998 a
movie called Superman lives was in
production it’s gonna be directed by Tim
Burton and star Nicolas Cage as Superman
if you’ve never heard of this before
then buckle up cuz this movie very
nearly happened and would have starred
Nicolas Cage as the Man of Steel Tim
Burton was asked to direct a Superman
movie after the success of Batman
Superman fanatic Nick Cage signed on to
play the man otherwise known as Clark
Kent but there were a few studio
conditions first Superman can’t fly
cuz that’s silly second Superman suit
would be drastically different third
there must be a giant spider Superman’s
got to fight the Spider Division I have
I was like okay man oh I’ll spider it up
for you instead seriously we’re not
making this up the movie was eventually
cancelled but producer Jon Peters would
recycle the mechanical spider in wild
wild west he has an 80-foot tarantula
yes well I’m coming to that number five
gladiator – are you not entertained as
much as we love us some epic Roman
battles what else could possibly have
been done with the gladiator story
Maximas died victoriously at the end it
doesn’t get much more conclusive than
that Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe did
pitch a sequel though and it’s
completely insane
at my signal
unleash hell long story short the plot
would have centered on Maximus being
brought back to life to fight the gods
and eventually becoming an immortal
living through the ages as a war monger
um what that sounds more like the God of
War game franchise than the original
Best Picture winner smile coming up
number 4 Forrest Gump – gum pink oh
hello my name’s Forrest Forrest Gump
ever wonder what happened to our title
character after the events of Forrest
Gump this sequel planned to answer all
your questions and as it turns out he
did pretty much the same stuff as the
first movie but this time in the 80s and
90s and he found Jesus yet no I didn’t
know I was supposed to be looking for
him so but we’re sure that the idea is
still kicking around somewhere in the
deep dark depths of Paramount Pictures
if you can’t wait for the movie version
however you can pick up the novel that
was written right after the movie’s
release are you crazy I just play stupid
stupid as stupid as mr. blue number 3 7
to 8 let me
greed
sloth wrath pride lust and envy movies
need to be more than just a really
clever title this planned sequel took an
existing script about a clairvoyant man
who helps police solve crimes and
rewrote it to fit Morgan Freeman’s
character from 7n you know this isn’t
gonna have a happy ending we have to
guess that someone down at the studio
actually read the script though and
quietly burned it so no one would ever
know
after all director David Fincher said
that he would quote rather have
cigarettes put out in his eyes than do a
sequel can’t say we blame him if you
kill him he will win number two mrs.
Doubtfire – oh just take them off like a
dog sorry
Oh forgive me mrs. Doubtfire tells the
story of a grown man dressing up like an
old nanny to hang out with his kids who
are in the custody of his ex-wife the
studio decided that the same concept
could be used a second time with Robin
Williams character throwing on his
classic disguise once again the plan for
the plot was for Williams to follow his
daughter to her new college in order to
make sure she’s adjusting well it’s not
working Robin Williams himself thought
the script was ridiculous and turned it
down after each rewrite until 2014 when
the story was finally good to go sadly
Williams passed away before production
permanently canceling the film’s
development
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions oh boy
you gotta really come Oh smooches aren’t
ya ah now let’s turn on the juice and
see what shakes loose
now it’s a race of course it’s a race
but what does that mean it means your
future hasn’t been written yet four
million dollars say yes say yes
is that correct yes yes yeah yeah
number one et tu nocturnal fears
teaching kids that aliens from other
planets are peaceful and cuddly
creatures is dangerous
this cancelled sequels sought to rectify
that by showing moviegoers exactly how
ruthless and deadly extraterrestrial
actually can be the original outline for
the film had an albino breed of aliens
coming to Earth in search of ET and
their plan was to kidnap the hapless
kids from the first movie until et comes
to save the day director Steven
Spielberg eventually stopped pursuing
the idea saying that it would quote rob
