Some twenty years on now, The Rocketeer gets a sequel!
Apparently this new movie takes place six years after the original film. The first Rocketeer has disappeared fighting the Nazis, so an unlikely pilot takes up the mantle and battles the scientists who are trying to mass produce the rocket technology for the enemy.
Writers Max Winkler and Matt Spicer are penning the script and it’s being produced by Brigham Taylor (The Jungle Book) and, weirdly, athletes Blake Griffin of the L.A. Clippers and Ryan Kalil of the Carolina Panthers.
I would love to see Joe Johnston come back as director. As proven with the original and with the first Captain America, He does pulp 40s adventure well! Sadly no James Horner to do another awesome soundtrack - for my money, the Rocketeer was his best score ever.
