Sequel talks: Harrison Ford may fly again in "Air Force One 2"
Nothing is confirmed, but a promising rumour has surfaced in the American media. Allegedly, there are talks of a sequel to the film "Air Force One." This action thriller from 30 years ago was a major box office success.
The revelations, although tentative, are being reported by the World of Reel service. It appears that discussions are underway at Sony regarding a continuation of the 1997 hit film. Perhaps it is simply a remake. Naturally, during these discussions and meetings, the name Ford, who is now 82 years old, keeps coming up.
The potential director of this... potential project is not yet known. Is there much truth to these rumours? Yes. The 2024 Box Office results leave no room for doubt. All top 10 positions are sequels, adaptations, or remakes. Large film studios are keen to invest in safe titles—those with which audiences are already familiar. So, they might even consider bringing in 82-year-old Ford to draw audiences back to the cinemas. "Air Force One" grossed $315 million, nearly four times its budget, 30 years ago.
"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, implying that their days are numbered. Aboard the U.S. presidential plane, Air Force One, departing from a Moscow airport, a group of terrorists posing as Russian journalists boards. Their leader, Ivan Korshunov, fanatically devoted to Russia (demonically portrayed by Gary Oldman), with the assistance 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 then take off again. President Marshall hides, leading everyone to believe he managed to escape in the escape pod. Ivan Korshunov contacts the Vice President of the USA.
