While it's debatable where in the lineage of best science fiction films Alex Proyas' DARK CITY lies, there's no denying that it rocks a tremendous amount of ass. And while
there'd never really been any talk of a sequel to the film, Proyas himself had this to say when asked about it recently on his official site: "DC was hardly a smash hit at the box office so it is unlikely, if a sequel was
made, they'd give me a huge budget to work with. So don't worry too much about that! I am more and more interested in the idea of a sequel, and who knows, after the
special edition comes out, with everyone's support behind it, a sequel…maybe who knows…but I've already said too much." Let's hope he's not so
diabolical as to tease us with this absolutely great news and not deliver. Don't do this to us, Proyas! In any case, what do you guys think about this? Where do you
think the story would go? Does it have anywhere to go?

I believe it will be if it happens.
Of course, there's a lot of room in a lot of ways for it to suck extremely hard..
But this will be good.

As for DC, I adore the 1st movie and I'm intrigued with whatever direction Proyas will take.

I want the filming world to acknowledge Dark City. I want more strangers, more tunning, more dark deco and anacronism, spirals, underworlds, fake memories, friggin city floating in outer space.

...they, The Wachowskis, are obviously hiding in the shadows waiting for the look and inspiration of the next somebody else's innovative muse of a movie so they can rip that off too!!!

Yeah, when it comes to the Warchowski Brothers coming up with their own material, in this case, story wise, we can now see how badly those two cross dressing nit wits did when they had to think for themselves..."The Matrix" sequels, collectively amount to the new "Plan From Outer Space"...And that's terrible!!! At least "Plan 9 From Outer Space" was funny
...unintentionally so...but still, that was its saving grace. The last two "Matrix" films just sucked!!!
So now, let's see what Alex Proyas had to have been planning for a "Dark City" sequel...I'm sure it's gonna rock. And with Keifer Sutherland now looked upon as a major star...this thing could be big!!!

Of course this is all just my two cents! Hopefully I'm wrong and Proyas proves to me that it's just the Wachowskis who f'ed up the Matrixs (Matrices??), not the principle of it all!

But its still an ant farm, right? So maybe part two would be about getting home, or where ever these people were taken -- Like the first generation of abductees was probably from the fifties, based on the production design/stylistic of the city. But how many generations lived in the dark city?
It could have been thousands of years, and by now, earth could be a whole different place.
I wouldn't want to see the stylistic change drastically and become "i, robot 2" or anything, but I like the idea that they wouldn't be content with the ant farm, and that as a twist the ultimate destination would have a planet of the apes-like twist..
