[Movies] More On Bull Durham Sequel
Posted by Ashish on 10.16.2008
Latest on sequel to 1989 hit...
Writer-director Ron Shelton and actor Tim Robbins have both confirmed that a sequel to the 1989 film Bull Durham is being discussed. Here's what Shelton had to say about the sequel to the Times Union.
"For 20 years I have said no to a sequel. For the last year we've been talking about it. I used to say 'You can't do a sequel 20 years later.' Then the fact that it's 20 years later started to intrigue me."
Shelton also said that the Tim Robbins' character, pitcher "Nuke" LaLoosh, had "a sort of an unrealized career [in the major leagues] in which we saw glimpses of his greatness." Costner's catcher Crash Davis "is now managing Durham in Triple A, back with a (major-league) dream alive again."
According to Robbins, the story will have Crash and his love interest Annie Savoy (played by Susan Sarandon) finding Nuke "in the middle of a drunken stupor in the middle of his hotel room or something ... and bring him back to the majors by teaching him how to throw a knuckleball."

HELL YES! If all these other movies can get sequels at least they can bring out one I might give a shit about. And hey, it cant be worse than any other Kevin Costner movies... can it?

The movie came out in 1988, not 1989.

WOW! I didn't know they were remaking "Smokey and the Bandit 2"! Yep...that's the EXACT same kind of premise.

This idea is better than the first one posted on this site. But I still feel that a great baseball movie will be ruined by this possible sequel.
