Wow....I just...wow.
I don't really know how I feel about this news.
And you believe, at heart, everyone's a killer...

De Niro has starred in a series of flop films and critics are hoping Travis Bickle's resurrection will restore his reputation.

Funny how we just had a thread discussing his rep and film choices.
This does not sound like a good idea and would seem to run counter to the themes of the original film, which were specifically tied to a young man's disenfranchisement (at least IMO).

Well, Robert Redford is supposedly doing a sequel to The Chandidate, which would be ~33+ years if it happens. Star Wars went 16 between its third and fourth installments. Lemmon, Matthau, and Simon put 30 years between the two Odd Couple movies.
Others where it's unlikely the two shared any cast/crew: Disney released Return to Neverland 49 years after their version of Peter Pan. If you want to consider The Wizard of Oz and Return to Oz part of the same series, that's 46 years.

Well, it'd be nice to see DeNiro and Scorsese working together again, but for Taxi Driver 2?

I didnt see this coming. What film series has the record for longest period of time between installments?
|
Just one example: The Hustler (1961) and The Color of Money (1986). |

And with Scorsese directing the sequel, in that instance.

If so, why would he be attached to a new movie?

Uh, no.
What's the source for the original story? The reference to "flop films" is suspicious. Analyze This was far from a flop.

You just made me think of another reason why a sequel is a bad idea.
But a sequel would make the ending lose that quality.
