Star Partners and Hummingbird Prods. are collaborating on production of a sequel to Frank Capra’s iconic 1946 movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” which starred Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

The sequel, titled “It’s A Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story,” is being financed by Allen J. Schwalb of Star Partners who will also produce along with Bob Farnsworth of Hummingbird. The duo are aiming to get the movie into theaters for the 2015 holiday season.

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

Probably not after the remake of Ironsides.

[GeronL]

There will be homosexuality and leftism galore, right?

[TurboZamboni]

The Savings and Loan will get bailed out by the Fed and the teacher will sue for being bullied via phone

George’s brother will be the first gay MOH winner.

[PATRIOT1876]

Maybe they’ll do a remake of Charlie Chaplin’s “The Gold Rush” with Justin Timberlake...

[TomGuy]

They will find some way to work the obligatory lesbian kissing into it.

Because they haven’t had an original idea in 40 years. Everything is retreads these days. Usually done badly.

There used to be a joke about Hollywood having only 8 scripts that they use over and over. They just change the names of the characters, the location, and such, but the plot is basically the same.

That same holds true on TV. Most of the modern whodoneits seem to follow similar scripts.

Someone once posted a portion of the script of Pocahontas and Avatar. The first pages was basically the same with a few name changes, etc.

LOL, I had seen that before, but forgotten about it. I remember watching Avatar with my daughter and feeling, at the time, how utterly predictable it all was.

[catnipman]

” obligatory lesbian kissing into it”

Uh, I believe that would be INTERRACIAL lesbian kissing.

[lowbridge]

Potter will be the evil right winged conservative who is also a closeted homosexual.

[TomGuy]

how utterly predictable it all was.

I start watching a TV crime drama and within minutes pick out 'he did it' or 'she did it'. Some 80 to 90% of the time, that person ends up being the criminal or involved with the criminal.

[SevenofNine]

I know for this a fact

They are reboot The Rifleman by using Sam Peckiwath script that he couldn’t make the show in 1960s that I undestand those scripts were vioelnt they have tone it down

[Lmo56]

SNL did a skit that was supposed to be an alternate ending that was filmed but never used. In it everyone beats up Potter.

*****

Its on the SNL Xmas Show every year ...

But, the Citizen Kane parody was the BEST SNL movie take-off skit of all time ...

[Lmo56]

Maybe they’ll do a remake of Charlie Chaplin’s “The Gold Rush” with Justin Timberlake...

Someone mentioned Justin Timberlake ???

[DManA]

They had a good bunch that year.

[Secret Agent Man]

if george bailey jr jr turned out to be hitler, or jimmy carter, or obama, then i can see this working. otherwise its a fail.

[Secret Agent Man]

kick it on up for homelessville....

[Secret Agent Man]

give,not kick, just remembered it.

[BenLurkin]

SPOILER alert: This time he jumps.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]
