Smokin' Aces Gets A Prequel - Blu-ray Forum

GreenScar · 11-04-2008, 02:42 AM

Joe Carnahan is one of many directors who keeps a regular blog to keep in touch with readers, but it's rare for major directors to break serious news in a blog post that's only a few sentences long. Carnahan wrote on his blog, Smokin' Joe Carnahan, that Universal has officially greenlit a prequel to Smokin' Aces, the 2007 movie that all of a sudden made him a director with access to big projects like Killing Pablo and White Jazz.

Since both of those movies mentioned above seem to be mired in the development swamp, it makes sense for Carnahan to move ahead with a bona fide moneymaker in an Aces sequel. "Cameos will abound. Trust me," Carnahan wrote in his blog entry, and even though many of the biggest names from the first movie died before thee credits rolled, the prequel means we can probably count on some celebrity cameos to keep interest in a prequel to a movie that, to my knowledge, didn't particularly need one to begin with. I'm sure we'll be hearing more casting details in the weeks to come, so if your interest in this movie hinges entirely on whether Jeremy Piven will appear, hold your horses.

I was in Smoking Ace's, but, they cut my part....

Also, I have met Carnahan a couple of times in Sacramento...he's a cool guy, really likes to say "f**K!" alot...

Smokin' Aces was wicked but a Prequel?? Wonder what characters are going to return.

i guess, but what are they going to show us? each group all killing different people? they have no connection to each other until this movie.

i suppose the cameo's abound means they don't need to follow all of them, only the more interesting ones.

Yeah it would be stupid to bring all the characters back, but some of the
better ones would be cool...

We already know his face got rearranged. It's like making the SW prequels even though the audience knew what Annie was like as a kid. But they didn't and - fortunately, prequels are forgettable.

Although, if Jar Jar was in Smoking Aces I probably would have liked it more. So, cheers to the sequel that happened before the movie.

Smokin' Aces was one of those movies that really had me going until the end, I loved all of it. I'm surprised it's not out on Blu yet!

I'm watching my copy right now. I picked it up as the Smokin' Aces Collection. I'm about half way into it. It's been ok, so far.
