Matthias Hues' latest comments on his long shot sequel wish:
FCSyndicate: You teased sequel development last Spring for your hit 1990 movie, Dark Angel, also known as I Come In Peace here in the states. Can you give us any updates?
MH: Yes, it's been tossed around so many times and each time it is so close and so real. I mean you will not understand how real and close it is and then something happens. Usually it's the final call of getting the rights - it's never short on someone to finance it but the last hurdle so far now is the rights. The rights are with Warner Bros. and Warner will not sell anything. Period. And if they don't do it, no one ever will, so lets see who can make that call... Whoever it is must have a lot of clout, so lets hope for it. I know Dolph has said that from all of his movies, this is the one he would consider making a sequel for.
Yet I knew it was sketchy with getting the rights, and from what I heard several times
when a major studio like Warner doesn't want to sell, they won't, no matter how much money you'll toss at them, they just don't want you to profit from something they own even if they don't do anything with it... I doubt it will ever happen.
FCSyndicate: What is it you miss the most about playing an killer badass alien?
MH: All of it. It was my favorite role and my favorite character, and I simply miss the adreneline rush doing it. I was so into it anr so committed. At times against all odds and what I constantly overheard were the stunt people whispering to the director, "but it's not safe enough" and him saying "he just needs to be faster then". So yes, I was alive every second. Didn't want to die there, but it gave me wings. I really, really miss it.
Funny thing is the BLACK ROSE movie that Hues is currently in with Alexender Nevsky and Kristanna Locken was submitted to Dolph back in 2008 when he was in Moscow for COMMAND PERFORMANCE pick-up shots...
