This trend of reviving movie franchises, or making a film’s sequel years after it hits theaters is not going away any time soon. Hollywood is certainly raising its the nostalgia game! And that can be both good news and bad news. Fans of the Demolition Man movie from 1993 are definitely gonna find this something to be happy about! Seems like you’re now finally getting the long-awaited sequel to the sci-fi action film you had been hoping for. As reported by star Sylvester Stallone, a second Demolition Man is already in the works.
Sylvester Stallone Says Demolition Man Is Back
Recently, Stallone spent some time replying back to fan questions on Instagram. One of the fans asked about the potential future of Demolition Man. After almost three decades, could a sequel actually happen? Surprising us all, Sylvester admitted that they had already started working on Demolition Man 2 at Warner Bros.
Stallone said that they’re working on it right now with Warner Bros. and it’s looking fantastic! So, that’s going to happen!
How Long Is The Wait For The Sequel?
We obviously don’t have any idea as of now about how long the new Demolition Man movie is in the making. And the fact that the industry has essentially been at a standstill for now doesn’t help either. However, it certainly sounds like the sequel has inspired more than just casual talks and conversations! Stallone said that things are “looking fantastic,” which suggests that they’ve probably done some story/script work already.
Revisiting Demolition Man 1993
Released in theaters in 1993, the original Demolition Man starred Stallone as a Los Angeles police officer, John Spartan, set in the year 1996. Spartan resorted to ignoring protocols to hunt down a notorious criminal named Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes). Because of this, Spartan lands in into prison alongside the criminal he takes down. As the story progresses, both Spartan and Phoenix become cryogenically frozen and wake up in 2032, to a world without crime. Lenina Huxley (Sandra Bullock) teams up with Spartan to catch a now-escaped Phoenix, because modern police haven’t received training to take care of serious crime.
Directed by Marco Brambilla, Demolition Man owes its scripting to Daniel Waters, Robert Reneau, and Peter M. Lenkov.
