Taxi Driver Sequel by Robert DeNiro

Closest we came to another Taxi Driver movie was a Lars Von Trier remake, and that never happened. That being said, we do not need a sequel.

Where did you hear that Gunslinger? I like what i've seen from Von Trier so far, but words can't express how happy i am that it never happened.

I think "Falling Down" was a little similar to "Taxi Driver" and think it's Michael Douglas' best performance.

Oh this was a rumor years ago. I think mid 2000's. He said he wanted to remake the movie. Thankfully he never did.

Paul WS Anderson to direct... Justin Bieber in the lead role.


That'd be magic.

They could get Kristen Stewart on board as well as Beiber's love interest.

Add in Kanye West and Kim Kardashian as cameos, and that might actually bring about the End of Days.

Kanye West could be the lead tbh. He could get all angry about people in wheelchairs who don't stand up when he's on stage.

Rodent, you're not being funny. Shush.

Thankfully: Antichrist, Nymphomaniac, etc, had this maniac occupied. I like Von Trier but i'd be quick to contribute to a "distract Lars campaign" as long as his memory of Taxi Driver was wiped .

This one will feature Will Smith as the new Travis Bickle.

Indeed. People need to leave masterpieces alone.

The last time this was even mentioned or thought of was back in 2013. I will most likely never even see the light of day (thank God), but this is the last of what has been said.

I love Taxi Driver and the idea of a sequel might have been a viable one within a decade of the first film, but it has been almost 40 years since the release of the film and I think re-visiting the character of Travis Bickle after all this time is rather an odd idea. I will say if it is done, I wouldn't want anyone but Scorsese in the director's chair.

Maybe he becomes the senator for NY and gets round to washing the scum off the streets?

I can't see this film happening. As a previous poster said, DeNiro is way too comfortable pulling faces in safe movies these days to get onboard. And Scorsese I guess wouldn't want to go there.

Hang on.......Son of Bickle directed by Michael Bay? Bickle jr is tooled up and ready to finish what pops didn't!
Mmmm that'll have a few studio execs listening.

I think most pictures offered to DeNiro have been bad. I wish he'd have better judgement, but in 76' almost any movie a lead actor got would be a pretty good movie.

I'm the kind of person who wants a sequel, even though I might not like it, or that I usually criticize remakes.

That's not even close to funny.

Gosling would look like a clumsy acting student, but Bale would be the one guy that could pull it off. He was practically doing a DeNiro impersonation anyway in American Hustle, but its his ability to get across what he wants with as little expression as possible. Honestly, Bale could be the DeNiro of our generation.

Derek probably already said this but, Edward Norton could be a good Travis Bickle
