"Cliffhanger" Sequel is Being Written

Posted: August 3rd, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Cliffhanger Sequel is Being WrittenSubmit Comment
FirstShowing attended a screening of the 1987 film "Monster Squad" at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, where after the movie, a Q&A session was held with director Fred Dekker and writer Shane Black. When Dekker was asked what he's currently working on, he replied by saying: "I'm currently writing Cliffhanger 2."

Back in May we heard that StudioCanal had teamed up with producer Neal Moritz to reboot Sylvester Stallone's 1993 film. The idea was to turn it into a big-budget thriller that will center on a group of young climbers.

At the time, Moritz was looking for a writer with a plan of having the new "Cliffhanger" in front of the cameras by 2010. Apparently Dekker is the writer to make it happen, but when he said "Cliffhanger 2," he made it seem like it will be a sequel, rather than a reboot.

Why is that important? In February of 2008, several sources were reporting that Stallone was interested in doing a "Cliffhanger" sequel.

It's funny how we get information of both Stallone and Schwarzenegger sequels of previous action movies at the same time. I liked "Cliffhanger" a lot, and it was a perfect comeback for Stallone, along with "Demolition Man", a classic.

Without Stallone they should just name it Vertical Limit 2. Only call it Cliffhanger 2 if it has Stallone. First one was awesome BTW. Gonna be hard to follow up the onscreen chemistry between John Lithgowe's cheesy British bad guy and Travers, the idiot redneck Treasurey agent gone bad.

Leon's Death by Military Press scene in the original still ranks pretty high on my Lamest Ways to Kill a Black Guy in a Movie List. I've got it wedged between Sam Jackson's death by shark in Deep Blue Sea and Yaphet Kotto's death while protecting the whiney white chick in Alien.

Hopefully Stallone does not waste his time with this unless the story is incredible / he directs. I would much rather him start on his Edgar Allen Poe film or (begin flamming on me) his supposedly in the works remake of Death Wish. I don't know, but I could see a Stallone Deathwish (Stallone starring and directing) being pretty damn cool.

I loved Cliffhanger alot, but a sequel seems like a stretch. I'm hoping that Stallone doesn't do this.

You can't do it half nude like Stallone (unless... you're Stallone of course).

When you're a hot-blooded Italian Stallion, you can do anything. You can get resurrected from a cryogenic chamber so you can fight Dennis Rodman, you can climb the Alps in your undeerwear, you can fight down a Soviet Superman who can level buildings with one punch and you can plow Sharon Stone's thighs.

God DAMN it must be good to be Stallone.

i think stallone is smart enough to not piss off fans....i mean he's considering their thoughts after dropping 50 cent from the expendables....i don't think he'll have any part of this...there's just no reason for him to be...let them ruin it....straight to dvd if you ask me...SACdaddy, i'm with you on this one, i too think they should call it vertical limit 2 instead

as cool as 'cliffhanger' sounds for a title name...it's best they don't tarnish that name...it's one thing to make a whole new version of something, but it's another thing when that something already exists and has credit that a new one couldn't pull off....it's not like that for all reboots, but this is different...compare tron 1 and tron 2 with cliffhanger 1 and 2....jeff bridges is there for tron 2...but stallone is not there for cliffhanger 2...it should fail miserably...studios aren't smart enough to figure that out...and i'm just an average guy....so that's REALLY sad...if anything, i would say as far as sequels go for stallone, i would say forget cliffhanger 2 and move on with another rambo, and another expendables...don't do cliffhanger 2 stallone!!...let the first continue to remain a legend

Mink, not trying to be an ass here, but Stallone fought Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man. To me, that makes him even more awesome than if he fought Rodman, because Stallone discredited Wesley's "Always bet on black" theory by freezing him with liquid nitrogen, then shattering his head by swiftly kicking it off. Yeah, Stallone is the man. "Always bet on Stallone, bitches!" Fun Fact: Stallone's first starring role was in a softcore pornography film called Party at Kitty and Stud's

What's with Stallone and the sequels of his past movies? Back then, he was the shit. Rocky, Rambo, Cliffhanger, Demoliton Man, Judge Dredd, Daylight, Assassins, The Specialist, all classic movies. But they need to stay in past and be left alone. If Stallone comes back for this (a movie that shouldn't be done), then he might as well fuck up all of his other movies too and do Judge Dredd 2, Demolition Man 2, and so on. If Hollywood just HAD to make these movies again, just bring him in as a cameo, like they should have done in Death Race, since he played Machine Gun Joe in Death Race 2000. Was pretty surprised that he wasn't brought in for that one, although I guess it would've been pretty hard to bring him in as Tyrese's grandfather or some shit.

the last good movie he did in my opinion was "Eye See You"

Ahh... also (better) known as: D-Tox (2002). I didn't know this movie existed Vip. I'll rent it sometime.

if u enjoy watching a decent thriller, i'd get it. but if the guy at the video store doesn't know it, don't waste time looking for D-Tox, that was the overseas name for the movie.
