Brett Ratner Eyes Get Shorty Sequel
Source: Hollywood Reporter Monday, June 16, 2003

Hollywood Reporter posted the following:

MGM is hot for helmer Brett Ratner. The director behind "Rush Hour" is in negotiations to team with John Travolta on the studio's "Be Cool," the sequel to the 1995 feature "Get Shorty." With Ratner near a signed deal, MGM and the project's producers -- former Jersey partners Danny DeVito, Michael Shamberg and Stacy Sher -- are hoping to get the project into production before year's end. The only hitch could be that Ratner still owes his next film to New Line Cinema, home of the "Rush Hour" franchise. However, sources said that situation could be worked out if "Cool" can be scheduled around a third installment of the Jackie Chan-Chris Tucker starrer. The "Cool" vehicle will see Travolta reprise his role as Miami mobster-turned-movie producer Chili Palmer, who in the sequel decides that he's had enough with the movie business and suddenly finds himself mixing it up with the rough and tough music business. He then meets a sexy young singer and decides to make her into a star. (Chris Gardner)

Do we really need this? Like we really need most of these sequels and remakes? I guess in Hollyweird the phrase "got|creativity?" and "got|talent?" don't really apply anymore.

Well "Be Cool" really is the book sequel to "Get Shorty". It's not like they're just making up their own sequel. The book was OK, not sure if it's really worth the effort to make a movie out of it though.
