Sony eyes 'Air Force One' revival with Harrison Ford?
Nothing is confirmed, but a promising rumour has appeared in the American media. Allegedly, there are talks of a sequel to the movie "Air Force One." This action thriller from 30 years ago once broke the bank.
The revelations, though cautiously, are reported by the World of Reel service. Apparently, talks are ongoing at Sony about a continuation of the 1997 hit film. It might involve simply a remake. During these talks and meetings, the name Ford, who is now 82 years old, is being mentioned.
The potential director of this... potential project is not yet known. Is there much truth in these rumours? Yes. The 2024 Box Office results leave no illusions. All top 10 positions are sequels, adaptations, or remakes. Large film studios want to invest in safe titles, meaning those that viewers are familiar with. So, they might even recruit 82-year-old Ford again to draw audiences to cinemas. And 30 years ago, "Air Force One" made $315 million, nearly four times its budget.
"Air Force One" what is the film with Harrison Ford about?
Concluding an official visit to Russia, U.S. President James Marshall delivers a speech categorically stating that his country will never again negotiate with terrorists. He implies that their days are numbered. Onboard the U.S. presidential plane Air Force One, departing from a Moscow airport, a group of terrorists posing as Russian journalists boards. Their leader is Ivan Korshunov, fanatically devoted to Russia (demonic as always, Gary Oldman), who, with the help of an American special services agent sympathetic to him, takes control of the plane. The pilots of Air Force One manage to land at a military airport in Germany, but are killed by the terrorists who take off again. President Marshall hides, and everyone is convinced he managed to escape in the escape pod. Ivan Korshunov makes contact with the Vice President of the USA.
