Actress Geena Davis, most recently seen in Netflix’s “The Boroughs,” says she would love to do a sequel to her 1996 action-comedy thriller “The Long Kiss Goodnight”.
Davis’ ex-husband Renny Harlin directed the film which was penned by “Lethal Weapon” and “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” scribe Shane Black.
In the film, she played a mild-mannered schoolteacher with amnesia who gradually realises she used to be a government assassin.
Samuel L. Jackson co-starred as small-time private eye Mitch Henessey who helps her unravel her past. Jackson has previously said it’s his favorite movie he’s starred in.
Attending the Bentonville Film Festival in Arkansas, Davis tells Deadline she feels the same:
“It’s my favorite too. I’m supposed to say Thelma & Louise because that movie is irreplaceable, but I have to say, I had so much fun with Sam and we’ve always wished that we could do a sequel.
In fact, people might not know, but we changed the ending [of the movie] so that Sam’s character was alive. In the original script, he dies and we were like, ‘No, no, no, no, no. We want to be able to do a sequel if it happens.’ But it probably still could. We’re not too old!”
Davis is next set to film “The Kellys” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Liam Hemsworth, Kelsey Asbille, and Abby Elliott.
