'LA Confidential' Sparks Two Sequels
The creative team and original stars from cult movie LA Confidential are in talks to re-team for a sequel to the movie, going head-to-head with another sequel starring George Clooney. Director Joe Carnahan is also directing a follow-up to the film based on author James Ellroy's book White Jazz. According to entertainment website Tmz.com, another sequel is being planned by the film's original director Curtis Hanson. Hanson's version wouldn't rely on the plot of White Jazz and would instead pick-up where LA Confidential ended. The sequel would reunite original stars Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce and Kim Basinger, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in LA Confidential.

so apparently there will be 2 movies: one based on the book White Jazz starring George Clooney and one directed by curtis hanson and starring the LA Confidential cast.
That will be kind of confusing. and I think they should make The Big Nowhere first....

his books are very loosely following one another... the characters that stay the same are mainly more minor department people... and they move in chronological order. thats it really.
i think for the true blue sequel, they would just write something totally original based on the main characters from LAC, not an ellory book. i dont know how i feel about that. i adore that movie almost like no other. def one of my top five ever  DONT MESS WITH A GREAT THING. |

| | | Dudley Smith and Ed Exley appear in White Jazz.
Dudley Smith features in The Big Nowhere, LA Confidential and White Jazz. You can get the books all together as the Dudley Smith trilogy. |

sequels always end up being shite but it may have a shot if Hanson is directing.
I still think they should adapt the Big Nowhere into a film. maybe an HBO miniseries since it's so long and would not be done any justice by being condensed into a 2 hour movie.
And I always thought that >>>  <<< would be good to play Claire De Haven. Maybe not so much now |

| | | I get to feeling it's a bad idea. But if they're good, well that's just great.
