Besides BBvWCL, I’d love to see the Coppola production of Anthony Hopkins in THE VAN HELSING CHRONICLES. ---

I don’t think I’d seriously like to see this, but I always thought **Ferris Bueller’s Class Reunion** would be a good title for a movie. **Election** is close, but it just doesn’t feel the same. As for something I’d really like to see, more **Serenity** , STAT. ---

[QUOTE=Big Bad Voodoo Lou] I’m still convinced Lloyd Dobler eventually broke up with Diane Court (or more likely, she dumped him), he went a little crazy, joined the military, trained in black ops, changed his name to Martin Blank, and became an assassin. Then he reconnected with another woman from his past, had a change of heart, got out of the business after killing his rival Grocer and attending his high school reunion, changed his name again to Rob Gordon, and opened up an independent record store in Chicago with two wacky clerks working for him. [/QUOTE] I never looked at it that way… well, I guess the sequel(s) for Better Off Dead HAS been done! But I do so enjoy Cusak! How about Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles, and Weird Science sequels? (Cant help it - highschool reunion is in a couple of months and I’m having 80’s flashbacks) I could also go for another Lost in Space and Riddick Oh! Oh! I know! The Professional - All Grown Up !! ---

[QUOTE=Justin\_Bailey] I don’t think I’d seriously like to see this, but I always thought **Ferris Bueller’s Class Reunion** would be a good title for a movie.. [/QUOTE] I always thought we might be lucky enough to see a Ferris Bueller sequel where he skips out of work for a day. The world needs a _Ghostbusters III_. And I think we might see one, depending on the success of the much-hyped game. The two things which have prevented a third movie are that the second one sucked and that Bill Murray doesn’t want to lug around that heavy equipment. If not a third movie, possibly a remake just so they can bleed the franchise. ---

I’m sure Hudson would jump at the opportunity, but Murray has “serious actor” cred now and is known for being difficult to work with (he’s the reason we haven’t gotten movie-accurate action figures), Ramis works steadily directing comedies and acting in bit parts, and they’ve both aged A LOT. I’ve thought about recasting Ghostbusters for a remake, as sacreligious as that sounds. It’s one of my all-time favorite movies, but the world is better off with more 'Busters than without. For Peter Venkman, you need a likeable everyman who is also a wiseass. To replace Bill Murray, I’d consider either Paul Rudd or Vince Vaughn. For Ray Stantz, you’d need someone chunky and enthusiastic. Jack Black has been able to play serious roles in the past, or I’m sure Seth Rogen could rise to the occasion. For Egon Spengler, you need someone who can portray slightly socially awkward intelligence, and also be a good straight man for the others. I can think of none better than Jason Bateman, or as an odder pick, Will Ferrell (who people forget was amazing at playing a deadpan straight man as Alex Trebek, James Lipton, and so many other SNL characters). For Winston Zeddmore, ideally you’d get an actor of color, another everyman type to join the team later and serve as the audience’s point of view. Will Smith essentially played this same role in Men in Black, but I’d love to see Taye Diggs or J. August Richards working more. ---

I apologize that these don’t fit the OP but I both _The Sopranos_ and _The Wire_ would make exellent movier material. _The Sopranos_ because the series finished in an open-ended way and it would be nice to see whether Tony came out on top, adjused to being the New Jesey step-children or changed/walked away. _The Wire_ because it already lends itself to time-taking in plot and character development and, again, with the way the series ended, there was a lot that could be resolved and/or expanded on in a movie. I have $200 I’d willingly invest. ---

Such a terrific movie, and it pissed me off how little marketing and support it got from the studio, and how few people saw it. I’ve been a Shane Black fan ever since the first Lethal Weapon, Downey is one of my favorite actors ever, and Kilmer was the best I had seen him in years. Loved it! ---

Ferris Bueller has lots of potential. There are those mentioned above, or he could now be the father of a teenager just like him who’s driving him absolutely nuts, OR the father of a teenager who’s perfect and won’t rebel and _that’s_ driving him crazy. While Hepburn was alive and before Poitier was so old I always wanted to see a sequel to _Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner_ in which the son of that marriage ([Wilson J. Heredia](http://images.broadwayworld.com/photoops/rentbryant/prev18.jpg) perhaps) brings home his boyfriend (Gene Hackman or BobCat Goldthwaite perhaps) and his liberal parents have to adjust to their own unconfronted prejudices. There _was_ a print sequel to _Rosemary’s Baby_ that flopped, but in part because- and I honestly think this was completely coincidental- it had the same final plot twist as _Devil’s Advocate_ in that at the end the Devil returned all things to the beginning, where Guy and Rosemary were moving into the Dakota [or whatever they called it] and no baby was conceived I don’t think it would have worked anyway, though. Coppola has always said that if there’s a _Godfather IV_ it will focus on the family’s complete devolution into crack dealing and completely unglamorous thug activity- no longer any pretense at honor. ---
