Film I'm So Excited! I'm So Scared! Showgirls 2 is Coming! (maybe)
Posted by Dave Bow on Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 12:56 PM
The internet was burning up this weekend like a case of chlamydia with rumors that a sequel to Joe Eszterhas' crapsterpiece Showgirls was on it's way. The feature will reportedly be called Showgirls 2: A Story of Hope and will focus on the brother of (Rena Riffel's non-character) Hope, who is "searching for revenge following the stripper's death from a dose of contaminated cocaine."
All of this is being spurred on by a really weird website featuring what an alien might believe movie trailers to be. That is to say, pictures move and words appear.
This raises a lot of questions: is it real? Is it a bizarre hoax? What will a Showgirls sequel be without Jesse Spano? What do you guys think?
