    WTF- A sequel to Knightriders???

    Uhm...ok.

    Knightriders 2 on the way
    Date : October 26, 2007 Writer : Clint Morris

    Taurus Entertainment, the shingle behind the recent "Creepshow 3" (never saw it, but hear it's horrible), have announced a sequel to George Romero's 1981 classic "Knightriders".

    The original film, starring Ed Harris, told of a group of travelling jousters and performers who are cracking under the pressure of personal problems and failure to live up to their ideals. Its essentially "Camelot" but with the armored-men riding around on motorbikes.

    Simply titled "Knightriders 2", the new film is a co-production between Taurus and Bandit Cinema and said to be budgeted within the $1-3 million range. At that price, I think it goes without saying that Ed Harris (let alone Tom Savini) will be back.

    It's just so beyond lame, it's the event that "dude, super-weak" or "dude, lame" was invented for...or alternatively "those involved with this project are sh*t-sucking-bile-f*ckers who deserve nothing short of bankruptcy for being so devoid of creative originality and talent ... as well as having no souls"...*sigh*

    Creepshow 3 I'll let slide, part 2 was a mess.

    Day of the Dead 2 I could ignore and move on.

    Knightriders 2 is just wrong. There is no significant fanbase for the original Knightriders. This is simply a jab at the folks who have a special place in their heart for Knightriders. What sucks is that there is room for a good sequel with Tom Savini, just not from these dickwads.

    Huh? Ed Harris' salary alone would crush that budget. He was paid 3M for The Hours. Not to mention
     
    he died in the original Knightriders

    I'd be into a sequel

    I've been a cardcarrying member of the SCA for a whole lotta years and I've been awarded my Arms, have my armor, etc. Knightriders was the SCA on bikes (not sure why the bikes, but ok, they're on motorcycles) and hopped up with 'shows' for the public.

    I can relate to the medieval spirit in people and I think that was what I liked best about the movie. I don't know if I need a Knightriders 2, but I'd like a good movie about medievalists. I know there's a couple coming, one from Will Ferrell (hopefully after Land of the Lost) and another from Jack Black (hopefully better than his mexican wrestling movie).

    This is just so...so...random(!) a choice for a film rip-off. I mean, I'd think they'd try to do a remake than a sequel. It just seems so off.

    They squatted a loaf with Creepshow 3 and this one will be a big phat turdy too. Really, someone should thump the guy for even dreaming about making a sequel.

    And what's even worse is these douchebags trumpet themselves to be fans of GAR. Any fan of GAR would leave his work well alone.
