Well you can crap on and speculate all you want. The fact is it's not
going to happen, never, ever.
Why? Because who the fuck would ONLY pay to see the 4th part of a
movie. I'm saying this because who the fuck would see the 4th IF YOU'D
SEEN THE FIRST 3 and knew that no one previously involved would be in
it, and the story was made by someone else?
So it's unliely the 100 or so dickheads who WOULD pay to see the 4th
installment of a movie without kowing/seeing the previous 3, would cover
the costs of production.
So can you explain how *I'm* being 'ignorant of the movie business' yet
you're not?
What are you basing the assumption that it WOULD ever be made, on?
