“All apologies, sir, but you’re too old to be an astronaut.”
“I wish I were . . . Little.”
How would that work? If they really wanted to have Tom Hanks play Jim Lovell again, maybe *Apollo 8 *would be a better prequel choice.
I think Bachelor Party II would be better done by having Hanks play his old character, but also the dad of a younger actor, and have it be his son’s bachelor party.
IIRC, there was talk at some point of doing Bachelor Party 2 with Tom Hank’s son Colin.

There was a Bachelor Party 2 made back in 2008
I’m waiting for Flamethrower of the Vanities.
Cast Away Again: The FedEx Guy with the Absolutely Worst Bad Luck Ever
Ah say, it’s a joke, son. Like how they had to drop the “III” from the movie The Madness of King George. lest people think it was the second sequel to the original. Likewise, the sequel to* Apollo 13* must be Apollo 14 (possibly with “Lunar Bugaloo” in the title).
Now if they made Apollo 8, I fear they have to play up controversy, like the trailers for Sully make it look like people thing Sully was criminally negligent. In Apollo 8, they would have an angry public calling for Lovell’s head for reciting Genesis. Maybe there’d be a scene where Madalyn Murray O’Hair publicly assaults him.
Forrest Gump 2; Gump and Gumpier
It features his son, now grown up. He gets hit on the head and suffers brain damage. But that doesn’t stop them from having grand adventures together.

Dr. Stan Gassko: Medically speaking?
Rick Gassko: Yes.
Dr. Stan Gassko: Whacked out of his brains on drugs.
I would definitely pay to see that movie. I also suggest having a ghost Jenny make regular cameos to help them along.
I’m not sure what movie he should do next, but I would worry for all the ones that will travel with him in that movie…

Hanks excelled at low budget comedies. He’s taken a much too serious turn lately.
I’m on board for another Bachelor Party movie.
Volunteers is another great Hanks comedy that needs a new chapter. I think Hanks met his future wife in that move? She was an actress back then.
I wanted a sequel to You’ve Got Mail after the Borders shutdown debacle. Unfortunately Meg Ryan is no longer cute, and instead looks like a jack-o-lantern.
On the other hand, if Colin Hanks and Kristen Bell could make some romcoms together, they’d almost be like sequels.
Come on, don’t we really want to see BIG, only in reverse? Old man Tom Hanks becomes a preteen boy. I’m sorry. Is this close to threadshitting?
Wiki sez not so: The Madness of King George - Wikipedia
Saved Private Ryan…Matt Damon becomes a small business owner…waits 50 fucking years to ask his wife if he’s been a good man.
Tom Hanks puts the burden of his own death on a poor schlub who doesn’t have any idea how to respond other than cry like a baby.
They could call it AfterRyan.
I loved Batchelor Party. Sure, it was a low budget sex comedy, but Hanks brought a lot of charm to the role, and it had a number of laugh-out-loud scenes.
I think it would work better if it has Hanks’ future son-in-law’s party rather than his son’s.
A worn-down-by-life Hanks is hoping to relive The Best Night Of His Life but he’s taken aback by things like seeing a stripper doing a lap dance on his daughter’s beau.
A lot of the cast have faded away one way or another. Wendie Jo Sperber (d. 2005) would be missed the most. I’m surprised to see that Angela Aames died years ago at only 32.
William Tepper who played Sperber’s husband has only one short film to his credit since BP.
Except for Hanks and possibly Kitaen you’d mostly need a new cast. Sequels without many of the originals aren’t all that great.
(BTW, in checking IMDb I noticed there’s a Russian made Bachelor Party this year starring Dolph Lundgren. We need Stallone to go after this guy on Hanks’ behalf.)
