Karolyn Grimes, who played George Bailey's daughter Zuzu in the original, will return for the sequel as an angel who shows Bailey's unlikable grandson (also named George Bailey) how much better off the world would have been had he never been born.

If you'll remember, Casablanca was tried as a TV series back in the early '80s, with David Soul as Rick and Scatman Crothers as Sam. Horrible.

 

[PHIL1959]

Oh no! when will Hollywood stop this nonsense of pointless sequels?

 

[Matt Crunk]

Not until people stop watching them.

I heard there may even be 'twerking'........

Wasn't there plans for a more recent big screen version of Casablanca?
I recall talk about it..

I heard there may even be 'twerking'........

haha I wouldn't be surprised! Don't forget the gratuitous sex scene to prove the filmmakers aren't Old Fashioned..

But Zusu plays the angel! How can that be bad?!?

 

[ButteMT61]

I don't even think I could watch for fear one more thing in my life will be destroyed.

The only "sequel" to this classic that need ever have been made was the masterful Married With Children parody.

Of which they masterfully parodied.

What do you expect, originality or rational thought from Hollywood?

 

[Dan Allen]

And where on earth do they expect to find another Jimmy Stewart ??

I could almost see Leonardo Dicaprio being able to pull it off. Almost.
It's not that it can't be done so much as I don't think the right people ever do such things. And they always seem intent to make such drastic changes as to make it not recognizable.

Gatsby was a nightmare (to me, speaking of Leo).

No it isn't and it won't be (quote taken from this article)
Update: Paramount Pictures put the kibosh on the project Wednesday. A spokesperson gave The Post this statement:
“No project relating to ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ can proceed without a license from Paramount. To date, these individuals have not obtained any of the necessary rights, and we would take all appropriate steps to protect those rights.”

What's next?

"Casablanca Two: Electric Boogaloo"

I'd watch that.
Sequels aren't usually as good.
Unless of course you are talking about fine films like The Naked Gun.

So it's a Wonderful Life with CGI snow and angels?

Don't laugh, but I could see Nicolas Cage in the role.

 

[ButteMT61]

Actually...me too.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Actually...me too.

And to make it even more interesting, cast Tom Hanks -- as Potter's kindly, lovable great-grandson who Bailey's grandson is ruthlessly exploiting.
