It’s been 27 years for the reason that launch of Air Drive One, however might Harrison Ford nonetheless return as President James Marshall for a sequel?
“Get off my plane…again!” Harrison Ford starred in Air Drive One as President James Marshall, who should retake the titular airplane when a gaggle of terrorists hijack it and take everybody hostage, together with his spouse and daughter. The movie was a serious success upon its launch in 1997, grossing over $315 million worldwide. Though there’s been discuss of an Air Drive One sequel, nothing has come collectively. Nonetheless, scooper Daniel Richtman says Sony Photos is creating a follow-up, which can embody the return of its main man.
We’ll take this hearsay with a giant ol’ serving to of salt at this level, however Richtman has heard that the studio is creating an Air Drive One sequel (which may be a reboot) and that Harrison Ford is perhaps starring in it. That is simply me spitballing, nevertheless it’s simple to think about Marshall attending the inauguration of the brand new president (his daughter?) when terrorists assault, forcing the household to be evacuated on Air Drive One. Rinse and repeat.
Air Drive One screenwriter Andrew W. Marlowe confirmed earlier this 12 months that there had been talks of a potential sequel however admitted that that they had bother cracking the concept. “We had talked about it, but there are always challenges with that [kind of] franchise. You get into the Die Hard problem of every time John McClane goes on vacation or goes anywhere, the terrorists take over. So we were very cautious,” Marlowe stated. “We had conversations with Beacon and all the oldsters concerned, however we by no means landed on a narrative that we thought might do justice to what we had achieved in the primary movie. We had set the bar extremely excessive. Harrison as as president goes someplace, he’s on an Air Drive service, it’s attacked, he’s in the course of an unstable geopolitical scenario. And so, there are issues he can and might’t do, since you don’t need to inflame it. He’s bought to navigate it and he’s the particular person on the coronary heart of it. There are lots of variations on it and with the tuning fork, we didn’t get it to the purpose the place we’re all like, “Ah, that’s good! We’re not repeating the primary film. We’re constructing on it.“
Not each profitable film wants a sequel, and I’m not satisfied audiences are actually clamouring for Harrison Ford to sock dangerous guys within the jaw at 82 years previous; We’ve bought Indiana Jones and the Dial of Future for that.
