Could the next nostalgic movie sequel for Jeff Bridges be Starman 2? He's certainly open to it. In fact, he's got a few questions from the original he'd like answered in the sequel.
"'Starman,'
what happened there? That's kind of set up. Y'know Karen Allen is
preggers. She's got that little ball and stuff. What's up with that?
Y'know what I mean?"†
The 1984
flim, directed John Carpenter, is a story about an alien life form who
responded to the message Earth attached to an old space probe asking any
alien life forms to please visit Earth. Naturally, when he shows up the
whole planet freaks out.
In an interview with
HitFix Bridges threw
Starman on the table as another past movie he'd seriously consider revisiting:
Amazing, he even has notes. But seriously, no. Please just let Starman be that awkward little alien picture from the 80s.

†Of course, we actually found out the answer to that in the TV series. However, it would be awesome to see a new movie with today's technology.
Who knows, although unlikely, maybe this will give some producer out there and idea to do this!

In an article on remakes of things from the eighties, it was mentioned that Michael Douglas was thinking of remaking the Starman movie. Anybody know any more? Love, George
