strange ending
very strange
shareIt was supposed to be the first part of a trilogy. The second movie would have been a continuation involving King Kong.
sharei figured that. but the movie bombed.
shareActually, I went and looked and found this in the trivia section:
"The island that the survivors become stranded on at the end of the film is more than a simple nod to King Kong and Skull Island. It was actually intended to be a lead-in to a King Kong reboot which also would have been directed by Stephen Sommers. In the late 1990's, an idea for a modern day Kong reboot began making its way through Hollywood Pictures. It was to be a response to the rather poorly received Godzilla by Tri-Star Pictures, which was released that same year. The idea was initially picked up, and Sommers, already attached to the upcoming Mummy reboot, expressed a strong interest in becoming involved with the project. The reboot wound up in "Development Hell" and eventually was passed on to other studios, becoming the basis for the 2005 remake by Peter Jackson."
I must have read something similar a long time ago 😊 I actually loved this movie though! Too bad it didn't do well.
The problem with that is, they pretty much killed everyone by the end of Deep Rising, so who would have been in peril, other than our three survivors, who we'd all be rooting for to make it out of the second film alive?
