Silly Sequel Pitches

The following are some studio pitches I have been working on.


TOP GUN 2: The Return of Goose
In this sequel to the 1986 blockbuster film starring Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis, Maverick's old partner Goose comes back with a terrifying piece of news. Goose tells Maverick and his fellow pilots that a Russian MIG pilot from the cold war years who is still pissed at him for giving him the bird, has sequestered a fighter jet from a base in Vladivostock and is intent on dumping a payload of bombs on the team's favorite beach volleyball court in La Jolla. Can Maverick and his team scramble his team in time to and stop the rogue pilot before he wreaks destruction in San Diego? A modern day ghost story: Goose's first appearance as a phantom is during a particularly rowdy session of Karaoke when Goose's faint but creepy accompaniment can be heard by the Navy pilots during the performance of Supertramp's "Goodbye Stranger".

SOPHIE'S CHOICE 2: Manifest Destiny
I actually do not know what happens in this film. It just sounds important.

TITANIC 2: Underwater Submersibles
They call this a sequel but actually it is just a chance for James Cameron to get more funding to build underwater submersibles. Hours and hours of documentary footage of plant life and fading coral reefs. There's not even a ship in it.

DEAD POETS SOCIETY 2: RISE OF THE MATH CLUB
In this sequel to the touching 1987 blockbuster hit, the poets of an east coast prep school college find their reps threatened by a radical bunch of calculus majors intent on proving that poetry is totally irrelevant to the modern world and not very constructuve in helping graduates find employment.

SCHINDLER'S LIST 2: OSKAR SCHINDLER'S DANCE PARTY
In this Krazy sequel to the 1994 film by Steven Spielberg, Oskar Schindler finds himself transplanted to the limelight drenched world of Studio 54 New York City. Schindler's living a high life of cocaine nights and hanging out with the likes of Diana Ross and Jerry Hall almost prove to be the philanthropists final undoing. Thankfully, the guys from Earth, Wind and Fire are there to get this party started.
