That Time A Guy Wrote A “Screw You” Sequel To Forrest Gump (Did We Really Need These Sequels?!?)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ม.ค. 2025
- It's pretty common that successful movies often get a sequel. Based off a novel, Forrest Gump was a popular movie that did well at the box office, so why did we never get a second film?

Brilliant. Forrest Gump meets Tom Hanks, thereby making the movie impossible, as he knew they'd be casting Tom Hanks as Gump. Lmao. The details of how he made that book unadaptable are amazing..
With clever editing tricks, they could have Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump meet Tom Hanks as Tom Hanks. There are movies where the entire cast is one actor.
@@jamielonsdale3018 There's a few reasons that wouldn't have been a successful endeavour. Just on having Hanks in two roles; actors are billed by role, Hanks was a top earning actor at the time, that would have been a huge investment. Given the material, it wouldn't have been an investment that paid off, because the material wasn't what they wanted. This wasn't just a cameo, it was Hanks in the story with Gump. That was done intentionally.
Just on the roles; Gump is Hanks, there are a few times in the original that he looks different, like his marathon, but for the most part, he's just Tom Hanks with a brush cut. Gump looks too much like Hanks to put them side-by-side without destroying the illusion that Gump isn't Hanks. They wouldn't be able to make Hanks look different either, or no one would recognize him, so you'd just have two Tom Hanks on screen. Too confusing, shatters the immersion, despite the fact that some could be okay with it, most wouldn't be. That was intentional too.
So while it was possible to have done that at the time (late 90s), it wasn't something that would've been good, and people wouldn't have liked it, for those reasons and more, but these are the two simplest reasons. Costs too much, too much of a gamble, not worth it. Which is why Groom did it. He didn't like what happened to his first book so he sabotaged the second so they wouldn't even try to develop it into a screenplay.
Or they could have took that out like they took out stuff from the first book
@@anna-flora999 It's not just that. Involving Hanks and his film Big aren't the only issues, there are other details. Like Mark David Chapman meeting Gump at a Bible themed amusement and portraying David from the Bible (Gump is Goliath) where he "won't shut up about Jodie Foster" is a big one that comes to mind.
Gump being involved in even more potentially offensive acts (like his acts in the original film have been called, stealing away the history of many notable people, often POC) like causing the Berlin Wall to fall over a girlfriend, getting involved in Iran-Contra and going to prison, getting involved in the Whitewater scandal with the Clinton's, etc etc. More touchy subjects that would be even harder than the Vietnam War.
Plus Jenny is a ghost through the entire book that visits Gump all the time. Lt Dan fucks him right over and takes off with all the money from Bubba Gump, goes blind and dies. Stuff fans of the movie don't want.
They tried to adapt it a couple times but Paramount refused all the scripts and Hanks said he wouldn't do it. It was intentional on the part of Groom and it worked. People who read the books, like the books, but the people who only watched the movie wouldn't have accepted a lot of what happens. Groom knew that. The book was well received. But it wasn't adaptable like the first one was.
@@jademoon7938 You should watch Last Action Hero, because they've already done this. Schwarzenegger plays a fictional character who meets his real in life self.
Knew instantly when he said net profit, how they were going to screw him, that's why you insist on a percentage of ticket sales or the gross.
William Goldman wrote (quite wonderfully) that "creativity in Hollywood doesn't stop at the doors of the accountants"
If I ever get famous, I'm hiring my own accountant. Not a Hollywood accountant that some company I work for wants my to use. And that accountant is getting audited, randomly, by another accountant, who gets a bonus if they find something.
@@EricLeafericson Unfortunately, accountants can only work with what information they get access to. I don't think there is a single publicly traded film studio so they don't have any obligation to make their accounts open to the public. I presume that would be why Paramount settled out of court, since they'd have to disclose something about their books to the author's lawyers which they normally could avoid doing
Well as a slimeball once said, “You can make more money on a flop than a hit.”
@@thehorseformerlywithoutana2522 max bialystock wasn't thaaat bad.
It’s like that Freakazoid episode where he tells his alien friend to always take a piece of the gross because the net isn’t real. Now I know what Freakazoid was talking about.
Freakazoid was so ahead of it's time! xD They really need to bring it back, but take their time and do a good job, unlike some throwback shows. And not a reboot! Just bring it back.
@@VideoAssaultSaturday let's leave freakazoid where he lies. Poor guy would be so conflicted now.with how the internet is that he'd be literally D.I.D. incarnate
@@cavalierliberty6838 maybe that's exactly why we need him now.
@@VideoAssaultSaturday Just don't say "Candlejack"!
@@mangrove why did you say his name? He has now captured me.
I once got shitfaced, and ugly cried with a friend in a public park about "Bubba dying on that river bank in 'Nam."
I kind of envy you for that lol.
@@comettamer don’t worry, you still got time. Live your wants!
@@merryberry6576 dudes like totally 80 he aint got time
That poor guy, he just wanted to buy a boat and catch some shrimp
Favorite scene:
Lieutenant Dan, in a wheelchair: "I'm walking here!"
Literally right before that is another of my favorite parts: "Lt Dan said he'd been living in hotels and since he didn't have no legs, he spent most of his time exercising his arms"
The most pointless sequels of all time are the Home Alone movies without Macauley Culkin
Same with the FRIDAY films, wasnt the same without Chris Tucker.
He needs to come back as one of the bad guys
I’d watch that
Didn’t even know they made ones without him
@@timothyharriott925 He was too old by the time they came out. Him being left home alone would have been totally normal lol.
Jenny did not die from aids it was heititus c not aids
@@timothyharriott925 I think 1 and 2 had Mccauley
The Bubba scene in Vietnam is really sad, what a fantastic movie.
I worked with Patch Adams and the exact same thing happened to him. They promised they would used the proceeds from the movie (starring Robin Williams) to build the hospital as a part of the deal for making the movie in the first place and they never gave him a cent
Bastards!
The also changed the gender of his friend to female.
You forgot to mention the part in the original novel where (after his space ship crashes), Forrest is taken in by a tribe of cannibals whose chieftan teaches him chess and he then goes on to be a chess grand master. You also left out mention of his time as a professional wrestler.
And his primate companion...
Can't tell if your joking or not lol
@@str8kronic the book is *way* out there
Don't forget the part where Gump ran for governor of Alabama with the slogan of "I got to pee."
And stoner
I wrote a parody of Forrest Gump in High School about one of my classmates. Eerily similar to the story, the man was awarded the Navy Cross while serving in Afghanistan and was made a spokesman for Modelo beer. In the story, it was Tequila. We spoke about it a few months ago and I had forgotten most of it.
This man has a Terminator poster above his bed and a Robocop poster above his office desk, goddamn! What a legend
man just likes cool robots with guns
@@FruitRat wait till the boston dynamics gets like 2 glock 18s to their dog robot
What I remember from reading the book is that he was chased out of town several times and that he invented New Coke after sleeping with a Coke executive wife.
New coke? Like, crack?
@@manniefresh7354 New Coke was a new formula for Coca-Cola in the 1980s and it failed miserably to due to a huge negative reaction by Coca cola fans, in the book Forest is chased out of town for it
@@michaelburns4414 in spite of new coke almost unanimously being preferred by test groups. People just didn't like change even though they preferred the new taste.
He made new cooe by accident and then forgot how to remake it.
@@Apachefog It was nasty.
From now on, never change the green screen
All I remember from that book is the bit where he forgets to check the pressure on a mine filled with pig excrement the night of some big public thing, mine explodes, townsfolk get covered in pig excrement, twelve year old me laughs uproariously
I remember him playing chess with canibals and it winning him some chess competition
What about the part Forrest ruins a soccer game in West Germany and had a mob chase him and the Berlin Wall came down? Groom threw so much silly stuff that a movie adaptation was impossible.
homer simpson is a more accurate adaptation of forest gump than forest gump is
Considering some of the recent movies, "Gump & Co" would be at least fun to watch. Also, it would be so hilarious if it became a massive success. I could only imagine the frustration of the writer.
The funny thing with Shrek 4 is that it became the very thing the first one set out to lampoon. All these fairy tale tropes, and lampoon Disney. But in the end it became a disney movie because the producers wanted money. As the saying goes, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Ye either die an ogre or live long enough to become a corporate mascot.
But isn’t shrek 5 good?
@@pormpfspimperton6804 shrek 12 is the best
Fuck I meant 4
@@pormpfspimperton6804 4 is decent and a paradox to the first in terms of its aim, fuck 3, 2 is one of the few perfect sequels out there (no such thing as a perfect movie but there is such thing as a perfect sequel) and the first was the most beautiful fuck you outside of Gump & Co. put to film.
I want this sequel, I want to see tom hanks, meet tom hanks, and fight in the gulf wars, with an orangutan
Sometimes, life is just disappointing...
@@MrAsianPie
Nah in this case is an author getting sweet revenge on the movie studio that shafted him. That alone deserves a movie all its own, no pun intended.
The Orangutan would have to be either Clyde or Suzanne( your all that I wanted from a girl).
Ever noticed how rumpelstiltskin from shrek 4 looks like Shane Dawson
cut to puss in boots showering with a thousand-yard stare
(I'm so sorry, this is the worst thing I've ever said)
For me Ed sheeren
There is also a scene in Gump & Co where Forrest Gump meets Tom Hanks.
The author later clarified that Jenny died from Hepatitis D, not HIV/AIDS.
Edit: My mistake, it was Hepatitis C.
If it was HDV then it means she already had hepatitis B (HBV) as peopke can onky get D if they have B.
David I'm sorry but there is no hepatitis D. There's appetite has a which comes from having Filthy Hands handling your food and hepatitis B which is usually sexually related and makes you instantly sick as a dog and hepatitis C which was spread through sex and needles and through the blood supply for a very long time that usually sit silent for 20 years and then kills you. But to my knowledge I don't think there is such a thing as hepatitis D
@@bayouboy8744 There are five types of hepatitis virus, A, B, C, D and E.
As an aspiring author (not very close yet) who would LOVE to have a film made of my work (a dream but still), this video may save me getting completely ripped off.
I.... actually want to see this book adapted into a movie. Do in a tone anywhere between Scary Movie and Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas and it could work.
There is also a “Bollywood remake” of Forest Gump in the work right now too
Oh no, the singing! 🤣
This i gotta see.
Seems a bit tame for bollywood
Miguel De Cervantes wrote the 2nd part of Don Quixote partially as a "fuck you" to an unofficial sequel of the 1st part
I actually bought this book as a kid, and it was an insane read -- never forgot the moment where Lt. Dan and an orangutuan were killed in a tank explosion during Desert Storm. What's crazy is that the ape is named Sue, and is in the original Forrest Gump book, Forrest meets her when they get shot into space (!)
Forrest then kidnaps and strips Saddam Hussein, only to be yelled at by Stormin' Norman. I'm not making any of this up.
I've never been to this channel before, but this is by far one of the best stories I've ever heard. That author is a savage
The moment be brought up the orangutan, all I could think of was the Librarian from Discworld.
Ook?
I've read Gump & Co. It's a very good book, and I'm sad it never got made into a movie although I do still hold hope it will come to pass. They could have probably dropped the "he bumbles his way into stopping a terrorist attack" thing and made it work.
I can't wait 2 get Knowledge Demon T-shirts that I ordered yesterday!!! They look sick AF
Anyone else want to see the sad wolverine holding a photo meme of Carl and the terminator?
The sequel is forest gump in hospice with dementia and his life is flashing before his eyes, as he remembers it.
never knew this about net vs gross points/profits, I feel like you have made me more street smart
Today I fell asleep watching one of your videos and I had a dream I was watching your videos for 5 hours straight. There was a lot of videos about stuff you didn't make and I don't remember what they were about so I'm mad the entire day about that.
So good that you give "Today I found out" a shout out. Poor SImon needs the subscribers.
As far as sequels that didn't need to exist go, in my opinion it doesn't get more pointless than making sequels to the movie Highlander. I say this not just because it's one of my favorite movies, but because the tagline of the first movie says it all: "There can be only one."
Yeah... But they gave us the TV series. And that was a good thing.
@@DarkQueenHelba Fair point, you've got me there lol
Damn, yo! Obama got jokes! I mean, I knew he was fluent in sarcasm, but, I hadn't realized he reached grand master level of dishing out sick burns like that. LOL!
Yeah, Obama is pretty well known for dropping bombshells
This was my silent reading book in Yr 7, I cried at the bit with the tank. If you've read it, you know.
Hey FF team, would you explain why they don't take people to court over Hollywood accounting? I feel like that's a situation where it's easy to prove.
It sometimes happens, but it's expensive, takes a lot of time, and then they settle out of court. Peter Jackson sued New Line over the profits from the Lord of the Rings trilogy; after three years of battling in court they settled (and it seems they only did that to convince Peter Jackson to attach his name to the Hobbit movies...this was before it was planned for him to actually direct them). After that settlement, the Tolkien Estate then sued about the same thing, and a year later that one was settled as well.
I suspect that people are somewhat afraid of being blackballed if they cause trouble. They'll just find another writer/director/actor.
One thing I wish would get discussed is how much of the gross actually gets back to the production companies - you have to assume that cinemas take a fair chunk, so maybe they need to define net as gross minus costs of distribution, whereas a lot of the net disappears in the nebulous 'marketing' costs
@@ishoottheyscore8970 Cinemas get screwed too. 100% of the ticket prices goes to the production companies for the first few weeks a movie is out (i.e when everyone goes to see them to avoid spoilers). Its why popcorn and drinks cost so much (its the only way the cinema makes money on new releases).
@@carlingram1003 I didn't know that, I knew they struggled to make much profit, but I was lead to believe that owed a lot to property costs and council rates etc so thanks for the extra info. I'll be honest, I'm really jaded with SFX vehicles and I rarely see a film that I need to watch on a big screen rather than wait for home media. I'm not helping cinema profits at all either way...
I love the way on pc you hover over it and see a frame from the video and you can see a bit of what tangents they'll go on

I honestly think this movie needs to be made, just think how crazy the third movie will be.
I swear if I had the money I would stop at nothing to make this movie a reality.
I must say this is why I hate the more recent rights on media and inventions, the corporations just roll over people's rights and then have ownership way beyond what those rights were designed to last. People constantly get screwed by this system, Disney has become a huge abuser of these kind of rights.
this story sounds so similar to the dragon ball evolution story and how it made dragon ball super
Which is bettee
I bought this book about 20 years ago for a quarter at a second hand shop and read it to my kids. It made them giggle when I read the cursing.
This also happens in the music industry as well. Remember that the group TLC was winning Grammy Awards and MTV Awards and American Music Awards and they were bankrupt. Many many musical artist would go on tour that brought in millions and millions and millions of dollars and we're told that the expenses far exceeded the box office. And if you think about it why would a musical artist or an actor know anything about accounting? All I can say is that if you're going to go into Show Business get yourself a damn good show business attorney who will look out for your interest
People really just be signing contracts with no thought. I get shit for reading contracts, researching, and talking to lawyers. I get told I'm wasting money and time but this is why
"Don't READ the thing! What are you, an idiot?! Jesus Christ, I'm trying to rip you off here! Have some respect!"
If you never dealt with a studio before you wouldn't know about the financial shenanigans they pull on the accounting side. They're basically paying themselves on the balance sheet to make it look like they lost money.
Neat analysis! Thanks for uploading!
I love Gump & Co. One of my fave books!
Best part is when he and little Forrest run a town off pig shit... until they forget to release the pressure lines.
I'm gonna be real it's like one of the 20 books I've ever finished as an adult. (I've read more but never finished)

Ah man. You left out the cannibal tribe chief in the first book and Forrest having to play him in chess daily to save the orangutan and his life after their space ship crash landed…. or the whole pro wrestler phase.
John Landis himself told me this story: When Art Buchwald sued Paramount for ripping off his idea for the first COMING TO AMERICA (Landis says they never saw it - - I believed him)
The studio lost the case but claimed Buchwald was not owed anything because the movie that earned nearly $300 million did not make any money. Buchwald took them to court again to force the studio to open their REAL accounting. The studio could no longer hide the profit and he was paid $900, 000 as a settlement. But (according to Landis,) the YEARS it took him to get the money cost him about $300,000 in legal fees. On the other hand, because the studio had to open their books, Landis and Eddie Murphy EACH made another $7 million they would otherwise never have seen.
I just noticed that the clear (presumably-->) water bottle becomes partly invisible in front of the green screen. That looks weird af...

Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies.
Its such a good movie
The mention of fighting in the gulf war with an orangutan reminds me of Every Which Way, But Loose with Clint Eastwood who has a pet [some primate I can’t remember specifically].
Thank you for having made this channel.
This was really really entertaining!
NOW I WANT THE SEQUAL TO BE MADE IT SOUND SO FUCKING AWESOME!!!
It honestly sounds like they could hire Charlie Kaufman to write the script, and Gump 2: Re-Forrestation could be a reality. When you buy the rights to something, you can change it, and often times they do-A LOT!
If they do i hope that they use this title.
In your summary of the film you forgot to say that jenny was the true villain of the movie
So the musical 'The Producers" IRL version....
The writer actually confirmed that Jenny in fact did NOT die of AIDS, in the sequel novel "Gump & Co." it is stated that she died from Hepatitis C from all of her years as a drug addict. Hepatitis C was not discovered and named until 1986, so at that point in the 70's it was often fatal as no effective treatments were available. Hepatitis C and AIDS are very different.
Fun fact Jenny actually died of Hepatitis C, though many people do make the assumption her death was caused by AIDS because of her apparent sexual activity from a younger age shown through the movie.
A common vector for AIDS is also shared needles the way many get Hep C so it wasn't much of a stretch.
I lost a friend to hepititas c, it's a terrible way to go
Every Highlander sequel was unnecessary.
The TV show was not a sequel, it was a re-imagining, and was awesome.
RIP. Now I feel awful about the sponsorship offer I made him. Keep up the amazing vids! You're all great!
I had thought that the reason why there wasn't a gump sequel was that after they had screwed the writer over the royalties, they asked for the sequel rights and he said something along the lines of, I can't in good conscious sell you the 2nd one when you lost so much money on the first one. So did I just make that up or was that another author ?
He wasn't a professional football player. He was a collegiate football player. He played for the University of Alabama under famed head coach Bear Bryant.
It's funny that made the sequel bad on purpose, but he could have accomplished the same thing by only having Forrest continue adventures from the first novel that were cut from the movie.
Oh boy didn't know the movie was based on a book I may have to look that up. We watched the movie like a hundred times over the years it was our movie to watch when there was nothing good to watch.
Am I remembering it wrong? Isn't their a giant plot hole in Terminator? Think it was the first one, the son sends back someone to protect his mom.. Who ends up being his dad
Pretty much. It creates an infinite time loop where he simultaneously doesn’t exist and orchestrated his own conception. Kinda like Fry becoming his own grandfather.
Backwards causality isn't a plothole. It's just how time travel works in some story universes.
In the 2nd one, the terminator arm in the case in the engineer's house was the same arm that Arnold gave the thumbs up to John with at the end of the same movie. The metal foundry is also owned by Cyberdyne...I did not put this together until a recent rewatch, but it occurred to me that they never would have gotten the tech for the og terminators without Arnold sacrificing himself for John at the end of t2.

These are the wee tales that make our world awesome. 🤙
you know, if it was modified to be a parody of Forrest Gump, i think a Gump and co sequel could work
Is that a bottle of Voss?!? Water he keeps flipping?
Made me think of dying or glowing one of those bottles to make a TMNT TCRI canister.
Speaking of unneeded sequels, there are 8 Aplha and Omega movies.
The original book is so good. Forrest does LSD and knocks out an army physician that tried to give him a rectal examine.
06:40; fun fact: Zemeckis doesn't think Winston Groom is a good writer; find that USC class room video from 1998.
Wow did not know you wrote for him love today I found out and all 30 of his channels
I see, the trick is the authors contract was to get him the royalties off the net profits, when what he should have done was get his cut from from the gross revenues before the accountants ate up all the profits with expenses.
I couldn't make it past the Elvis scene where he 'inspires' the famous dance move. I hit my limit of hokey and switched off! Never tried to watch it since either...
Its a weird scene but its not that bad of a movie
They should make a crazy, intentionally bad Forrest Gump sequel ... starring Chet Hanks
Shrek Forever After is underrated
I’m grateful for this. If I ever get involved in filmmaking I’ll be sure my future agent/lawyer gets it in writing that I’m due a percentage of gross, not net. That stupid embarrassingly large “opening weekend box office results” that the TV news for whatever reason sees fit to report.
(I actually remember seeing the book Gump & Co. on the bookshelf at my local chain bookstore back then but not interested because I hadn’t read the first book and the film in my opinion didn’t warrant a sequel. Now I wish I’d known the controversy surrounding its existence. Reminds me of Michael Crichton being paid to write The Lost World simply because the studio wanted to make a sequel to Jurassic Park. Never read Lost World either.)
When I found the book for the movie, the sequel had been just been released and now it makes sense. When I read it, I was like WTF? LoL
Inventing New Coke is the craziest thing about this book..
I wanna see the sequel as a movie
Sounds sick
I just saw spiral where Chris Rock is talking about why there isn't a Gump 2 and now this was recommended. Coincidence?
I think not!!!
