Is it just me, or has the Internet community have been hearing about a possible sequel to the hit, ‘The Italian Job’ for YEARS now? (We have probably heard about the possibility of the sequel just as much as we heard of a possibility of ‘Scream 4.’)
Mark Wahlberg talked to ComingSoon.net about the status of ‘The Brazilian Job’ and the possible sequel to ‘The Departed.’
ComingSoon.net gives us this quote:
I don’t know what’s happening with “The Brazilian Job.” They keep talking about it, we’ll see. We want to make it if we can make it better than the first one. And that goes for any other sequel that they’re talking about, that or “The Departed” or anything else. You don’t want to just do it. There are plenty of other ways to make a paycheck. I want to do that some justice if possible.
Well good news and bad news. I guess we won’t see either sequel in theatres anytime soon, but if we do in the future, they are probably going to be kick-ass. I respect Mark Wahlberg for jumping on the projects without knowing if the films are going to be as good as their predecessors.
So what are your thoughts? Which sequel would you want to see more?
I can’t wait to see the Brazilian Job!! I can’t believe it’s
taking so long to get it into production!! The Italian Job was GREAT, anyone who hasn’t seen it has got to rent it!
I think a big problem is getting all the actors schedules together: Wahlberg, Theron, Seth Green and Jason Statham. It’s also getting to the point where I can see Wahlberg doing a sequel to “Planet Of The Apes’ ; Statham on ‘Transporter 3’, Seth Green on ‘Malibu’s Most Wanted 2’and Charlize on ‘Aeon Flux 2’ before they all head to Brazil.
In layman’s terms: when hell freezes over.
Never saw Italian Job, so no comment there.
LEAVE THE DEPARTED ALONE!!! Let that thing standalone, PLEASE. A shit sequel will tarnish my good memories of the first one. PLEASE!
I’m not sure I am ready to see Marky Mark’s “Brazilian” job if you know what I mean. A-thank you.
