That movie is the last to need a sequel. It’s a good enough movie, but at this point all the mother characters are dead, and Sandra as well as Nicole, are in their like 70s

  Crazy that Hollywood cannot let those people go
  
  She’s not even 60 yet
Damn, Top Gun got studios looking hard at legacy sequels now that superheroes are fading. Who is the audience for this? Or is it just content for a streaming service?
- My thinking is digging into the vaults means they don't need to license new IP. It's a cost saving tactic.
I mean, okay, fine, if they can get the original cast on board, and not try and turn it into a fucking franchise. A single sequel with the family having aged, ideally with a totally unrelated plot involving the next generation with the previous cast taking a back seat? Fine, whatever. I won't be hyped because that movie didn't need sequel at all. It was a great movie (though not high art, it's a really enjoyable little romp), with a great ending. End of story.
Next thing you know, they'll be trying to fucking reboot witches of eastwick
Oh I love the original, Kidman's lack of acting ability notwithstanding. Leave it alone you money grubbing knobs; we don't need a sequel.
