Boogie Nights 2? (1 Viewer)

[Doug R]

From imdb:

Movie babe Heather Graham is returning to the sexy role that shot her to fame - she's making a sequel to Boogie Nights. The sexy star stripped naked for her role as porn star Rollergirl in 1997 hit Boogie Nights, a part that launched her Hollywood career, and the blonde actress looks set to strap on her skates again to reprise the role in a raunchy sequel. According to Britain's Daily Sport newspaper director Paul Thomas Anderson is already working on scripts for Boogie Nights 2. But the film will be without original star Mark Wahlberg's famously well- endowed character Dirk Diggler. A source told Britain's Daily Sport newspaper, "Rollergirl will be the film's major character. Dirk will not be in the sequel. He will be mentioned. But he's left the porn industry." Julianne Moore is also due to reprise her role as porn mother figure Amber Waves - and will join Graham in stripping off again. The source adds, "It'll be an explicit script. Both Heather and Julianne will have to go nude during the film."

First I heard of this.. is this confirmed? Strange that PTA would do a sequel. I mean, what more can you say that wasn't already said.

I mean, what more can you say that wasn't already said?

The first Boogie Nights was largely told from the male point-of-view. This second take on the porn industry could really benefit from giving us insight into the female point-of-view, as seen by Roller Girl's trials and tribulations.
Boogie Nights 2 could be a great opportunity to give us wall-to-wall 80's music, whacked hairstyles and even a glimpse of AIDS making its first mysterious appearance... all while waxing nostalgic. It might actually be a good movie after all if they go for it.

All I know is that Chest Rockwell, er, Reed Rothchild better be in there. Buck and Maurice, too!

The "Daily Sport" has to be the *worst* newssource possible. This 'newspaper', and it's a newspaper in the loosest possible definition, is little more than an excuse to print photos of topless women, scandal & complete & utter lies.

That's an interesting take. I've always seen it more as a look at the care-free sexual lifestyle of the '70s.

I would rather see P.T. Anderson put his efforts towards something different rather than a sequel, but there is no doubt I will be there to see Boogie Nights 2 if it does make it's way to the big screen.

Something about this smells of a hoax.

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Bill Balcziak]

Talk about a movie that doesn't need a sequel. PTA told his story skillfully and completely.

 

[Joseph Young]

None of this news is confirmed or, most likely, even true.
PTA's plate is quite full for the next few years.

edit: IMDB's source is credited "to Britain's Daily Sport newspaper..." :rolleyes

 

[Tom-G]

Joseph, it was reported on Link Removed

 

[Marc Colella]

I've heard this story about a year ago.
It was determined to be a bad rumour, and I really don't think it's anymore true now.
Here's a snippet about this rumour from the best PTA source:

[JonZ]

I read this as well - I dont remember where.

I hope its not true(although I wont complain about seeing Heather Graham naked again)

 

[Matt Stone]

I don't see this happening.

 

[RobR]

If it's for real, I'm sure PTA is contemplating which of Scorsese's films to copy in Boogie Nights 2

Talk about a movie that doesn't need a sequel. PTA told his story skillfully and completely.

Skillfully and completely with traces of Goodfellas and a Raging Bull ending. At least he made Magnolia original.

 

[Carlo_M]

Damned rumors! I wasn't really looking forward to a sequel. Just more Heather... mmmm...

 

[Duncan Harvey]

Isnt this film subtitled "The Second Coming"...

 

[Aaron Reynolds]

I'm still waiting for Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman to reunite in "Eight".

or how about Penn And Teller Get Killed Again?

or maybe Schindler's Second List?

or More Dances With Wolves?

or Another Crash?

or Gladiators? (to be directed by James Cameron)

or The Nightmare Before Easter?

or Further Out of Sight?

or American Pie 3: Pie Harder?

or Nakeder Lunch?

 

[Ken_McAlinden]

Okay, how about

Legally Blonde 2: Dye Harder

Fellini's 9-1/2

Beyond Enemy Lines

Blackhawk Down Redux

Exhuming Forrester

I seriously doubt we will see a Boogie Nights sequel, but to ensure quality, they could call it "That 80s Film". I am willing to bet dollars to donuts that, if not a total fabrication, this is based on a flippant remark and will prove to be yet one more example of the inability of the media to grasp the concept of irony.

American Pie 3: Pie Harder

Simply sublime.

 

[Eric Thrall]

How about Glitter 2: Electric Boogaloo?

 

[Jim DiJoseph]

Aaron, don't laugh - it happens. Just look at "The Neverending Story 2". What's up with that? If it's never ending, then...
ACK! Don't get me started...
