Movie Sequels

I was having a conversation with my muse, Mr. Jarrett K. Sacks about why they never made a sequel to The Rock, and it inspired me to write this blog, plot outlines of potential sequels.

The Rock 2: Goodspeed's Adventure

This movie picks up during the current day, roughly ten years after the original. It starts out with Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) looking at the microfilm he obtained by following John Mason's (Sean Connery) instructions to the church. He finishes looking at it and puts the film back into a wall safe he has behind a large wall paining of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Just then his now ten year old child he had with Carla enters the room. Carla and Stanley are now divorced, I mean, really, who ever saw that relationship working. Stanley asks his son, named John Mason Goodspeed, if he's ready to go his mom's. He takes him over there, and then goes to a party, after being coaxed by Marvin Isherwood (Todd Louiso), his old and still current colleague at the FBI lab. Isherwood wants him to stop whining and meet a new girl.

Goodspeed finds a girl he somewhat likes but is already extremely drunk by this point. He decides to tell her he knows who shot JFK, thinking it would impress her, and in his drunken state he thinks it is a good idea. A few people overhear him, and most play it off, but one man takes him seriously, Special Agent Tom Jenkins (Stanley Tucci), from the FBI, who is the number two man to FBI Director Ernest Paxton (William Forsythe) who was in the original and has taken over for FBI Director James Womack, who has recently died.

Paxton, knowing that in all reality Mason did not vaporize back at The Rock must have shown Goodspeed where the microfilm was, and hunts down Goodspeed, pulling him in for questioning, and holding him until he gets the answers he needs.

Mason, who still calls Carla to check up on Stanley, as Stanley has become emotionally detached, finds out that Stanley is missing, and knows immediately what has happened. Mason begins his hunt to free Goodspeed.

After a riveting line of questioning to Goodspeed, he is thrown back into his cell. After lamenting about what his life has become, he hears a noise in the duct above him, it's Mason. Mason has spent the last 3 days in the ventilation system and now knows all of it's ins and outs. After a daring escape Mason and Goodspeed are on the run.
