Forest Gump Sequel?
 
According to this news from Yahoo!, there is talks about making a sequel to the 1994 oscar-winning film, based on the novel of the same name.

Don't believe me?

Well, check this link if you're not convinced:

Well, that's all for now.

I hadn't heard this. Thanks for the link.

I doubt the sequel will be able to do justice to the original film of "Forest Gump".

I thought the sequel to the novel, Gump & Co., was quite hilarious. But I wonder how much they'll actually put in. Some of the best parts of the original book were left out. Like when Forrest had to fight for his right to live by playing chess in the jungles of New Guinea. Yes, the book was really weird.

I've heard bout this. Supposedly they were trying to do this YEARS and YEARS ago but some sort of issue between the film crew and certain legal issues prevented them from doing a sequel. The idea's been floating around for years.

I honestly never thought this movie needed a sequel and I'd be VERY surprised to see if Tom Hanks comes back for this.

If Tom Hanks dosen't come back, it's a no-go for me.

Well, I'm of the opinion that if more than 13 years have elapsed since the original's release then, generally speaking, making a sequel probably isn't a good idea.

If Tom Hanks doesn't even return to play the lead then they might as well make this direct-to-video.

I've seen quite a few movies that have come out many years after it's prior film. Such as Terminator, Batman, and of course, Clerks. I think it all depends on the amount of work and effort you really put into the story and content of the film.

If you're just pumping out a non-connecting sequel with nothing attached to the film's connection other then the name, then it's a shallow form to make a quick buck by using a brand name. But sometimes they can be REALLY good stuff.

Clerks 2 was made many years after it's first film and I absolutely loved it, I think it totally blew away the original and improved on many aspects the first film did. But I won't give my hopes up until I hear more about this film.

Like I said, it all matters on how much effort and quality work you put into a film that makes it good or bad, regardless if it's a sequel or prequel pumped out 10 years later.
