I liked the movie and was always disappointed that a sequal was never done.

Without a strong showing there, the possibility of them picking up the option to do a second movie is probably slim to none on the Phantom (and I sure hope I'm wrong...but I doubt it.) To many years have passed, and there has been absolutely NO talk, gossip or otherwise, that would lead one to think this would occur. This is USUALLY the case when it's a movie I liked....that, and the Shadow!

The Wolf said:I like the bright clean look of New York in "The Phantom" and "The Shadow". Unfortunately, I think the Shadow should look more film noir. A Doc Savage movie would be right to have the bright look. The Shadow works in, well, the shadows, his New York is filled with low-lifes and dinge. Doc's world has the ray of hope (mostly through science) and optimism of a better world around the corner.
They are in essence the Batman and Superman of pulps.
I'm still waiting for a decent Doc Savage movie.
Alas, there is no widescreen Shadow sold. The reason I haven't bought the DVD is it is full-screen and no bonus goodies. I feel that if I bought it then the "Special collectors deluxe edition" would come out with commentary, behind the scenes and widescreen. After a few times of that happening it just isn't funny.
Sincerely,
The Wolf
