It’s been 29 years since ‘Demolition Man’ hit theaters, a wonderful science fiction movie that pitted Sylvester Stallone vs. Wesley Snipes<\/strong> in a most peculiar future. In addition, the same year of its launch, there was already talk of a sequel that should have been released in 1995 but has still not been made, why?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

crazy first idea<\/h2>\n

The truth is that the initial idea for ‘Demolition Man 2’ sounds, to say the least, curious, since Mark Waters<\/strong>screenwriter of the first installment, revealed years later that the idea was to take advantage of a discarded plot to sign meryl streep<\/strong> to give life to the daughter in Stallone’s fiction. He sounds pretty crazy, but considering all the years John Spartan spends in cryo, it would make sense.<\/p>\n

Of course, everything indicates that it was an occurrence of the producer Joel Silver<\/strong> that it did not go beyond that, since Waters himself acknowledged that his answer was “Okay, bring Meryl to set and I’ll show up.”<\/em>, staying the thing in that. For years, the project was completely forgotten, which surely helped that Stallone went from being one of the biggest stars to a plague of Hollywood.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Also, keep in mind that ‘Demolition Man’ does It did well at the box office, but it wasn’t a smash hit either.<\/strong>, since it entered 177 million dollars with a budget of 77 million. But on this point we will return later, that he came to face Stallone with Warner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

death and resurrection<\/h2>\n

Already in 2006 it was Stallone himself who was responsible for giving up ‘Demolition Man 2’<\/strong>as he commented on the following in Ain’t It Cool News:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I would like to do a sequel to ‘Demolition Man’, but I think the ship has sailed and there may be more challenges waiting on the horizon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Sylvester<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The actor was perhaps referring to ‘John Rambo’, whose filming began just a month after those statements. Also, he didn’t hear from ‘Demolition Man’ for many years and when he did it was to know that Stallone had sued Warner,<\/strong> since he considers that the study had not paid him the participation of the benefits that corresponded to him by contract and that he had demanded in 2014.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That led to a lawsuit in 2017, as Warner initially told him the film had lost $64 million, only to later acknowledge giving money, sending him a $2.8 million check. That did not convince Stallone<\/strong> and finally an out-of-court settlement was reached in 2019, the amounts of which were unknown and which also affected other collaborations between both parties such as ‘Cobra, the strong arm of the law’, ‘Tango and Cash’ and ‘The specialist’<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
