FILM: Update on Fanboys + Next Stallone Project

Weinstein Company spent $2 million on reshoots for the Star Wars lovefest Fanboys, adding more nudity and swearing. But when they rescreened the final product, they discovered that it only tested two points higher. So basically, they butchered the movie for no reason.



Presently, Sylvester Stallone is starring in the TV biopic Notorious, about the famous rapper Biggie. But there's buzz all over town that he's developing a sequel to yet another one of his well-known films from back-in-the-day, Cliffhanger (1993). Here's the original plot: "A botched mid-air heist results in suitcases full of cash being searched for by various groups throughout the Rocky Mountains." Sounds like box office gold. lol


At the rate that he's going, the only film reboots he has left are the ones below and here are my suggestions for sequel content:
Tango & Cash: In the original story, two cops were framed and they had to clear their names. We can show him and Kurt Russell living Odd Couple-style and running their own detective agency in a Caribbean setting where they've somewhat retired to. Throw in some hot girls and a random crime and you've got yourself an action movie.
Demolition Man: It takes place in a non-violent future and Stallone plays a cop who is cryogenically unfrozen and given a flimsy partner (Sandra Bullock) to deal with a psychotic escaped prisoner (Wesley Snipes). In the sequel, they could pursue another escaped prisoner who time travels to the past, where Stallone shows Bullock around his beat for a major culture shock that's sure to be hilarious.
Judge Dredd: Here he plays a cop with judge-like authority who gets framed for a crime by the baddest villain in the city. Wow, this is becoming redundant. Ok, you got me. I have no clue.
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot: He plays a momma's boy who has to solve a case and juggle his meddling mother at the same time. Seeing as how Estelle Getty ("Golden Girls") is 84 years old, we can change it up to Stop! Or My Dad Will Shoot, since he's the old fart now. It would be the same basic concept, a girl/guy will have graduated from the academy and their dad won't know when to let them fend for themselves.
Cop Land: This is said to be one of his best acting jobs. He should probably leave it alone. However, in it he played a New Jersey sheriff who discovers that the mob runs his town. He had the likes of Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, and Robert De Niro acting alongside him, so getting that remade would probably be nearly impossible...unless he did it without them, in which case he could ... no clue. But I'm sure Stallone could think of something.
