Robert de Niro Plans Two Sequels for The Good Shepherd

Source:  Variety
Robert De Niro received a lifetime achievement award at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival on Friday, where his What Just Happened? opened the festival, and discussed his plans for the future, according to Variety.

He noted that he would like to make two sequels to CIA Cold War drama The Good Shepherd -- one bringing the action forward from 1961 to 1989, the other following its hero, Edward Wilson (Matt Damon), up to the present day.

Although he is not working on research for the concluding parts of the hoped-for trilogy, De Niro said being in central Europe offered a good opportunity to begin thinking about the material.

"I had not been planning to do research on that while here, but it is a good idea," he said.

His long collaboration with Martin Scorsese -- which he ascribed to the fact it's always been "a lot of fun to work" together -- should produce at least two more films, De Niro said.

His next project with Scorsese, which he declined to detail, is one on which he's already working and should be ready by 2009, he said.

the point is... NO MORE TRILOGIES!!! DeNIRO is one of the greatest. for him to do this would be blasphemy to good taste from his part. there is a reason an extention of the story(or part 2,3,4 etc.)is called non other than a "sequel". trilogy would only be like the new hollywood taboo. it makes no sense. at least to me.

WHY!??! "The Good Shepherd" was boring as hell! Kuddos for a great cast, but man the story was boring as hell!
I was really, really excited too see a film about the untold story of the birth of the CIA, but then damn it was just to boring!

What? Dag. The first one was "okay". It wasn't triology material, that's for damn sure!! De Niro use to be the man back in the day. Now he's just an old fart.

I love box sets

The Good Shepherd wasn't bad, but I wouldn't say it deserves 2 more films. It was a very slow moving film.

July 7th, 2008 11:30am
Cool, another box-set to buy at Wal-Mart.

he'd better step up the pace a bit, i wouldve needed an 8-ball to not fall asleep during the good shepard.

it was actually a very good movie, just the pacing was so damn slow... in my opinion.

all i have 2 say is OMG

It took me two days to watch the first one, I couldn't stay focused on it. Good but very slow. Good to hear he's doing more with Scorsese.

July 7th, 2008 12:58am
Nice. Hopefully it won't be as boring the next 2 times around...

July 6th, 2008 11:58pm
I have tried twice to watch it and still cannot stay awake. Maybe i will finish it someday.
