Suppose you are granted the oppurtunity to create a sequel to any film/franchise you please,post what film this would go with and a synopsis:Example,Passion Of The Christ 2;Jesus as it turns out is actually alive and well after his presummed death,but now he must track down those who have wronged him.

hahahaha awesome

I'd probably go with Boogie Nights 2: The Return of the Diggler

or maybe even a self titled Daniel Plainview movie.. where he's in prison for life after killingEli.. and he gets into prison gang violence.. and is fucking people up left and right, but he is scheduled to go to counceling and therapy once a week.. and she's a very indepent sexy woman.. and DPV starts to fall for her, and then it becomes a romantic comedy.. a goofy one, where Plainview tries to impress her.. and then one night there's a revolt in the mess hall, and his love is killed. He then turns to revenge and goes after everyone responsible in the prison, using various materials and weaponary to kill them.. even outsmart them into death.

I'm writing one right now.

Halloween: The Blood of Michael Myers

It's a straight sequel to H1-2-H20-8 and I do everything in my power to end the series on a proper note. It is set one year after the events of "Halloween: Resurrection." John Tate, understandably having had a hard time moving on, inevitably returns to Haddonfield to stop his deranged uncle.

I do what a "Halloween" sequel hasn't done in a while. I re-introduce the audience to Haddonfield and show how stirred up the small town has become after all the blood and controversy. From the point of view of the kids and the adults.

I also bring back original characters. Leigh Brackett, the former sheriff who lost his daughter on the night of the original massacre. Now an older man with a grudge. And also Lindsey Wallace, one of the two kids Laurie Strode babysat. Now grown up and a little screwed up in the head after her frightening encounter with the Boogeyman.

More importantly, I try to abondon the extra blood the series has spilled lately and honestly focus on the suspense. There is some blood, and there are bound to be stabbings, but I try to effectively play around it with "less is more."

And lastly, what I'm writing is not the typical 90 page script with an hour of build up and quick action at the end. If it were actually made faithfully, it would be about 110 minutes long. It is a horror movie, but the story and character development come first. There will be enough action, as well as a satisfying pay-off.

And I'm writing it, knowing this is the sequel the studios will never make. The "Halloween" franchise has become so screwed up for a multitude of reasons, I'm sure they'll leave the series on the ending note of the remake.

A Halloween sequel that continues from part 6 and ignores parts 7 and 8.

And if I could time travel, I would make A 7th Lone Wolf and Cub movie that properly ends the series, the same way the manga ended. Original cast.

More Hellraiser would be good too! Done properly of course.

SPOILERS FOR "HALLOWEEN 6" FOLLOWING...

I'm actually looking at that, too. What I'm ultimately doing is looking at all the possibilities. There's the sequel to H1-2-H20-8 and the sequel to the H1-2-4-5-6.

As far as H1-2-H20-8 go, there are two different ideas at hand. One year after the events of "Resurrection" and an alternate one taking place a full ten years after. With "ten years later," the essential difference is that John would have a wife and young son. It would raise the stakes and lead to a very different conclusion than in "one year later." And there would definitely be a lot of slight changes to the climate of Haddonfield than in "one year later." Ultimately though, most of the basic scenarios would remain the same.

Then, there's the sequel to H1-2-4-5-6. I've seen "Halloween 666: The Producer's Cut" and I would love to continue where that ending left off. I think this would definitelybe a more complex film than the other one I was talking about. But I would try to keep it a little simpler than how both versions of H6 turned out. Neither one was perfect, but the "Producer's Cut" got it down better.

As far as I really know so far, I would probably set it at Halloween 1999 - before the whole "Y2K" thing. Tommy Doyle and Kara Strode have grown closer but aren't officially "together." He's also become a father figure to Danny and Stephen, now four. Danny Strode is in his pre-teens, and just as he's used to leading a normal life, he's beginning to see the weird "Man in Black" images again.

As far as Dr. Loomis goes, I would probably say that Dr. Wynn underestimated his failing health. He unexpectedly died when Dr. Wynn tried to pass on the role of Michael's guardian to him. It was too much for Dr. Loomis to handle. So, Dr. Wynn remains as the Man in Black and is a little bitter about it. And as far as the 1999/Y2K thing goes, the ancient symbols are showing again since 1995, and the Druids are ready to set their plan in action once again. Will Tommy and Kara be ready for them? I could see "anybody could be a Druid member" being a scary theme as well.

I pretty much enjoy each and every "Halloween" film. I will say that a few of them definitely lacked the "class" of the original, but they all have their moments. Currently, I am working full course on the "one year later" idea.

For the past year of my life Ive wanted a proper Hellraiser sequel.I'd want one that continues where part 2 left off,same goes for a H6 sequel.

My advice for a Halloween sequel,Duke Nukem,would be to grant the best of both worlds of the series,I would love to read a Halloween sequel that had the suspense and build up of part one but w/ the gore of part 6.Previous characters should be returning and NEVER should they return only to be killed,being a huge Loomis fan,I wish I could say to bring him back,but Donald Pleasance has passed on,so I would say to just mention him and leave him with dignity.{As in no Loomis go-go dancing scene}

Previous characters should be returning and NEVER should they return only to be killed

On previous characters returning, I am on the same page as you. Anything can happen in a "Halloween" movie. But before anything does possibly happen, full character arcs come first. I don't pull any any "Big-opening-scene-shocker" like F13 Part 2. I take my sweet time working on the characters, new ones and returning ones. If that means my script exceeding 90 pages, so be it. I already know my "one year later" idea will be within 110-120 pages long.

And yes, I am trying to avoid the gore splatter of Part 6, especially that of the theatrical cut. Funny thing, you can't make a "Halloween" sequel anymore with the mild gore and violence of the original. Times have changed. But you can crank it up a little bit. And the one thing I am working especially hard on are honest suspense scenes. That is hard to do.

SPOILERS FOR "HALLOWEEN 6" FOLLOWING...























As far as Dr. Loomis and Donald Pleasance, I agree, both of them have passed on. All I would do is briefly play back to the Producer's Cut ending and show Dr. Loomis in ultimate disbelief over what's going on. It will be too much for him and his failing health to take. His heart will give out and he dies. The Thorn mark will disappear off his wrist and appear back onto Dr. Wynn's. Dr. Wynn will not be able to retire and move to Florida after all.

Honestly,that sounds pretty good.Identical to Halloween 2 if you change The Lady In Black to Michael Myers,but I felt H2 had an amazing premise that felt underused.

That's good b/c I hate when that happens,especially in F13 2 {crazy Ralph,part one's heroine}and H5 and H6 T-cut{Rachel and Jami}.

Much like Duke is doing with Halloween, I'm doing a squel of sorts to A Nightmare on Elm Street, I haven't got a sub-title for it yet but heres the basic plot;

"Springwood has become a ghost-town, the perfect place for an internet-based ghost-hunting team who have done research on the town. They set up shop in the supposed haunted house of 1428 Elm Street and stay the night, but get nothing, that is until one of them falls asleep..."

It's a sequel and not a remake as its taking on the idea of Springwood being a ghost-town from Freddy's Dead (granted, it was just the kids who were dead in that film) and introducing new characters who have done research on the town and its history to help auidence members get to know about the past NOES but, much like in Freddy vs. Jason, Freddy Krueger is NOT in any of their research so when they confront the dream-killer it'll be a surprise to them and to new auidences, especially when he begins his murder-spree on the "ghost-hunters".

Not horror but since "any film/franchise you please" I'd love to see a Leon: The Professional follow up with Natalie Portman as a contract killer. Just a thought.
