15 Incredibly Late Sequels That Took Decades To Arrive
Can you guess which sequel took 59 years to be made?
We're incredibly used to sequels arriving very quickly. It's not uncommon for a follow-up to a new movie to be green-lit on opening weekend, while a gap of more than two years between entries feels like an eternity. Heck, Marvel have two new films out every single year; it's that extreme. But it's not always the case. Be it from long standing production issues or a director popping up twenty years later keen to continue a story, the next film in a series can take longer than you'd even think possible to arrive. To highlight just how long some sequels take, here are fifteen films that came out decades after their predecessor. These have to be proper follow-ons, not just films from the same director with similar themes (see The Wicker Tree's bordering parallels to The Wicker Man), and there can't have been any unofficial entries in the middle (think all the American Pie movies). These are proper, official sequels that took so long to make a good chunk of the audience wasn't even born when the previous film came out.
