Sequels and spinoffs. Oy. 
Sister Act 3? That's definitely completely out of left field.
As if the first sequel hadn't been bad enough.
I believe Sister Act 3 has been in the works for a while now. Whoopi mentioned filming was set to commence in an episode of The View a while ago.
I talked about this elsewhere, but my core issue with sequelizing Mel Brooks movies is the originals only have just enough plot to be able to connect up all the jokes, which is really the reason we all remember them so well. There’s not enough plot to warrant a continuation of the story, and if you’re not writing the comedy in the key of Mel Brooks, it’s not gonna land. These sequels are missing the point of the originals entirely.
History of the World, Part II failed because the humor style changed from the original. Whereas the original film didn’t require having an understanding of a ton of contemporary pop culture or events to make the jokes land, the sequel series was almost completely parodies of reality TV, new Beatles documentaries, and so on. It’ll age badly because the cultural context will pass it by. Even the few times they directly called back to segments from the first movie, it was dull and unfunny.
Such a shame, because I wanted to love Part II, and it was one of the most disappointing things I’ve ever seen associated with Mel Brooks.
Not only that, but they celebrated the anniversary of Sister Act not that long ago, and the stage version has been doing well, so if anyone was paying attention and reading between the lines, they'd notice the franchise has been primed for a sequel. It's in the public consciousness now, now's the time to do it. With enough time having passed, I could now see the role of Mother Superior falling to Whoopi.
I thought there was a Sister Act remae in the works.
I might see it. I found the original to be exceptionally depressing. Breakfast Club might be a better one.
Yikes, don't like the idea of remaking the brat pack films.
As I was reading your post, Man in Motion played in the background on an advertisement. Spooky!
It may be very difficult to find Judd Nelson's whereabouts, but six out of seven simply isn't going to cut it.
Taika Waititi and Stephen Spielberg look set to adapt the novel James, which is a retelling of huckleberry Finn from the POV of Jim, the slave he helps escape https://variety.com/2024/film/news/...a-waititi-percival-everett-james-1236041735/?
He'll make an appearance after Chris asks if he is dreaming. Smith will slap him and tell him he's not.
"Thanks."
"No problem."
It’d be a brave actor who would try to fill Jack Nicholson’s gumshoes
