Sequel?


I heard some time ago that Philip Davis was trying to raise funding for a sequel/follow up to I.D. I don't know whether this is true or not. Anyone out there have any info? Would be very grateful. Thanx

Don't see how they could do a sequal. What could they possibly put in it?
The end was pretty final with the closure of the Rock and John going mad. Perhaps they could do a prequal, showing the build up of the Shadwell firm but all the actors are 10 years too old.

no there won't be a sequel i know the writter Jim Bannon and the film was a one off as he felt a sequel etc. would probably ruin it.

Don't sequels ruin many films though? Either that or just take them nowhere. The main reason they are made is because they make loads of money, even if very little is put into making them, simply because their titles refer to the original films, and that is enough to make people want to see them.

It would be hard to make a guess at a possible follow on story line. However, i wouldn't be surprised as football hooligan films are all the rage at the moment.

why not just write another screenplay about footie violence, but make it realistic as poss and not sell out to stylistic crap which is what happens nowadays. bring back the grit of the 80's please.

The sequel is obvious, it's a follow up with him being in the national front, he could either be there as part of the police or he's joined up cause he's lost it, in which case he could have a change of conscious and go to the police or they could plant one in there and he *beep* himself that he'll be outed.

There's nothing to say that a sequel would have to be footy although it's obviously to late now.

There is no chance that John was undercover with the NF. We'd seen him go mad, get addicted to drugs, smash his house up, smash the Police Station Locker Room around, presumably murder someone (at Tyneburn) and also that scene when he was sat down in a waiting room with tears in his eyes. Would the Police really keep employing a man like that?

I still haven't worked out how Trevor knew where John was though (when he confronted him at the march) and why he suddenly ran out of the interview room with Gumbo in it..... But no way was he undercover.

A sequel would ruin a flawless film.

Thank goodness.

Jim Bannon was the worst *beep* *beep* I ever had. If I ever have kids, they're going to *beep* grow up to *beep* hate Jim Bannon's work. <roars psychotically/comically>
