A year in the past, Sylvester Stallone confirmed that he was once “operating on” Demolition Man 2 with Warner Bros. and that it used to be “having a look incredible.” The 1993 film is a superb sci-fi actioner, centring round a renegade cop named John Spartan being cryogenically frozen in the dark crime-ridden long run of 1996. The majority of the movie takes place after he’s defrosted in 2032, the place he awakens right into a utopian neo-California that has abandoned violence, swearing and eating meat.

So, what do we want from a sequel? Well, the original’s ultra-liberal, socially distanced 2030s has become weirdly prescient, so the principle attraction is seeing what crazy world they’d come up with next. A fun idea could be to repeat the similar fundamental premise however in reverse. Meaning we would have an elderly John one way or the other ending up a fish out of water in some other strange global. After so long living in a relaxed, non violent universe, Stallone’s personality could have gotten soft and in all probability if he found himself thrust right into a post-apocalyptic timeline stuffed with violence and explosions, he’d have to restore his ass-kicking mojo to save the day.

Then again, that plot would most likely mean ditching the supporting solid. So far, there’s no indication that Sandra Bullock is reprising her position as Lieutenant Lenina Huxley, even though it’s clear from interviews that she has fond memories of the movie. Other returning stars would possibly include Denis Leary as rat-munchin’ libertarian antihero Edgar Friendly, and it’d be amusing to see how his politics affected the arena after the events of the first movie.

It’s most likely unlikely that Wesley Snipes’ Simon Phoenix is returning for the reason that he exploded into a million icy items, but this is sci-fi we’re speaking about, so clones, robot doubles, and alternate dimensions may all theoretically be on the desk. I’m always down for more Snipes, too, and we know he can still deliver that famous air of mystery to the screen.

The handiest actual question is when Demolition Man 2 is coming, as since Stallone’s announcement, there’s been no information. It seems the motion icon may have jumped the gun on revealing this, then, as he has a lot on his plate presently. Over the previous yr, he’s contributed voice work to James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, shot superhero drama Samaritan, remodeled Rocky IV into a director’s cut entitled Rocky vs. Drago and is primed to appear in the long-in-development Little America, an motion movie set in a global the place China owns America.

For my cash, this means production on Demolition Man 2 isn’t taking place till 2022 and the earliest we’ll see the movie might be 2023 (simply in time for the thirtieth anniversary). But on the other hand they do it, let’s simply hope it finally explains the three seashells.
