Legend II stream series produced by Scott starring Cruise


hehe jk..😃.. but the way things are with a big budget Dark Crystal stream show and Labyrinth 2 in production and now Willow coming back I dont think id be that surprised if I clicked on the internet one day soon to find a 10 part Legend sequel stream series in development budgeted at 200m with Cruise returning as Jack (but maybe just one episode) and Ridley overseeing (and directing the first two episodes)

Oh lord, I wouldn't put it past them.

I don't think so. Don't get me wrong, I think Legend is a mistreated and -understood masterpiece (European cut, not the hidious American version). But it was a financial flop. Unfortunately audience never got a chance to see Ridley's vision and work as a whole (apart from few jerks in the test screening). Even "the final cut" is still missing some scenes which I think would improve the film. Its butchered and scarred. Unfortunately Legend wasn't the last film from mr Scott that suffered from excessive cutting. Maybe his experiences from Blade Runner and Legend influenced him and he turned into his own worst enemy when it comes to cutting his own movies.
