Raging Bull II. Really?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1148205/

"A combination prequel and sequel that explores "before the rage" and "after the rage" of world middleweight boxing champ Jake LaMotta's tumultuous life and times."

Good cast but seriously, is this needed? No Deniro no Scorsese.

MGM is suing to stop it, but imdb says it's in post-production

 

I think it works if they follow Die Hard's lead and tweak the title for the sequel: Raging Bull 2: Rage Harder

 

Direct to video cast.

 

It's got Cloris Leachman and Bill Bellamy in it, so you know it's good.

 

Well, since it's directed by the guy who did "National Lampoon's Cattle Call" I have to assume it's going to be good.

 

Considering the only other credit by the producer is "Flesh Gordon meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders" I doubt this one will see a theater. More likely a Redbox next to other cheap knockoffs.

 

Raging Bull 2: Electric Boogaloo

 

Hollywood is also working on an Independence Day sequel.

 

How bad can it be?

If he was writing this, I'd totally go see it. Jake LaMotta singing a variation "Raped in the Face"? Now that's a keeper.

 

Ted McGinley passed on it.
