10 Belated Film Sequels Hollywood Should Never Make
8. Zack And Miri Remake A Porno
The Original:
Zack And Miri Make A Porno (2008). Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks play lifelong friends and current roommates who turn to porn to pay the bills in this typically crude but charming Kevin Smith comedy.
After a covertly filmed video of Miri getting changed goes viral the pair decide to make money by producing a Star Wars porn parody. Along the way they have their film equipment stolen, drop the Star Wars references in favour of a coffee shop setting and fall in love.
The Sequel:
In yet another self referential nod to his own past work, Kevin Smith has Zack and Miri see his 2019 film Jay and Silent Bob Reboot at the cinema. “Can you believe they rebooted this BS?” Asks Miri, as mouthpiece for the self deprecating director.
Noticing the trend for remakes and reboots the pair decide to make a sequel to their own film, reinstating the original Star Wars theme. Only now there are loads more Star Wars films for them to lazily reference. Great!
