Movie biz pop quiz: what do you get when a $10m movie makes over $135 worldwide? Hint: it rhymes with "be-pweul". GUESS WHO'S BACK Deadline reports that Richard Gere is being courted to star in the upcoming The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel sequel, tentatively sub-titled Age of a Smarmy Yet Charming American. In other news, a The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel sequel is apparently being planned. The surviving characters from Part One are expected to return. ... As a fan of the original, I approve of all of this.
This was announced at least a year ago. I have actually been highly anticipating this and was upset at the lack of movement on this film. I THROUGHLY enjoyed the first one - yes it's actually rare to get a good quality film for older film goers - and thought the idea of a sequel sounded great! There's a damned good reason the first made SO MUCH money - it was a wonderful film!
It was really good, wasn't it? I actually saw it twice at the cinema, first taking an older female relative and then my partner.
