THE BIZ : Take Two
- Share via
If there’s one thing Hollywood knows, it’s when it has a hit on its hands. And, two hits being better than one, the industry won’t soon depart from its habit of making sequels to its box-office winners, not to mention its merely could-have-been-a-contenders.
Some suggestions to help the studios in their endless quest to best their best:
--”Paleocene Park”--Universal looks to cut costs as all those big-budget dinosaurs are replaced by small rodents.
--”Natural Born Killer Killers”-- Two renegade district attorneys go on a cross-country media tour looking to expand the death penalty.
--”Mrs. Doubtfire II: The Operation”--Robin Williams’ kids discover they like him better as an old woman. Thus, Williams begins hormone therapy and flies off to Sweden to make the change permanent.
--”Priscilla, Queen of the Desert to King’s Bishop 3” --The roving band of cross-dressers travels to Moscow for the world chess championship.
--”Back in the Line of Fire”--Clint Eastwood reprises his role as the nation’s oldest Secret Service agent. But this time, tiring of gutless bureaucrats, Clint takes up a .357 Magnum and asks the President, “Do you feel lucky, punk?”
--”Groundhog Day Afternoon”--Bill Murray is an unstable bandit who robs the same New York bank over and over again.
