The Long Kiss Goodnight Sequel in the Works!!


OMG!! This is like one of my favorite movies of the 90s. If I say so myself this was an "off-the-chain" movie, a perfect example of a brilliant action masterpiece. Long Kiss Goodnight is like one of those movies that set the mark for female leads in an action role, long before Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman, and even Halle Berry who have made it into a popular art form. Back in 2007 it was announced that Samuel L. Jackson was working on developing a sequel of the 1996 action hit with the film's director Renny Harlin. Keep in mind its been over a decade since it premiered on the big screen, so this will be very interesting to see how this will play out.

Director Harlin has said the sequel is still in development, but that Samuel Jackson is a 100% on board, "I'm right now looking for a writer who would have the same incredible sensibilities in terms of character, humor, and action. Sam is hundred percent committed, he's hundred percent on board...My plan is to focus on a story about Geena's daughter, who was six years old in the original and would now be about twenty-one. It's actually gonna be sort of a buddy story between Geena's daughter and Sam."

Now don't expect to see Samantha Caine to make a return, as this would focus on her daughter Caitlin who is all grown up now. She would for the most part have inherited her mother's skills and would seek revenge on her mother's killing.

Now as excited as I am about this potential sequel I am wondering how different would this be from any other revenge/vendetta story. Only time will tell.

And just in case you forget the first one here's the trailer to jog your memory...
