Ok! Magazine is reporting that Heath is in talks to do BBM 2
souxi:
Exactly right Leslie. You only have to look at the huge success of the Harry Potter films and the Lord of the Rings to see that sequels, can and DO work..... why not with BBM? Yes the first film was a mastepiece and there is no reason why a sequel shouldn,t be either. All the sequels to Lethal Weapon were big hits too, I loved those movies.
Brokeback_Dev:
I'm truly hesitant on believing a BBM2 would be as good as the original film.. I dont think that they should tinker with perfection. Everyone here makes a good point but I think ill still with Lucise

No, Hollywood doesn't, but someone like Ang Lee does.
--- Quote ---They are looking for the next big hit and the next big thing to bring in bucks. And frankly, I think they look at sites like this, and cullen, and ennisjack that continue to be active two years after the movie was released; they look at fans who raise money to publish ads in Variety and write books (I am referring to the cullen book but there are others); they look at fans who spend fortunes on auctions of BBM paraphernalia; they look at fans who buy multiple copies of the DVD to give to friends as gifts; fans who begin fundraising campaigns to put a copy of the DVD in every library in America....
They look at this and think, "Why not do a second movie? We already have a built in audience..." Does this really seem so farfetched? I don't think so.

I think perhaps maybe it is a bit farfetched? Maybe those of us who have done and are doing all the things you've mentioned still don't add up, in Hollywood's eyes, to a bankable demographic?
Not arguing with you, Leslie, just wonderin'. ... :)
Gangster pics and their sequels probably have a broader demographic appeal than Brokeback Mountain.

Let's see, three-quarters of the women on the planet and most (not all...I actually know two gay guys who have not seen BBM) gay men under the sun don't add up to a bankable demographic? LOL
Daniel:
I really think Brokeback Mountain had one of the most beautiful endings I have ever seen in a film, and I for one do not think that any sequel could do justice to the spirit of the original without reproducing the same story... but perhaps I am a little closed-minded?
