Good movie! It definitely merits a sequel. First, Pitch 1 just sucks! Second, Pitch 2 sounds great up into the part where hes in the Mental Institution. What utter Bull crap. This sequel needs to leave off where it left off and continue. I'm curious to see what their version of things behind the mirror are like. Also Sutherland has got to be in it otherwise this thing is destined for Direct to video, which would be a terrible waist of something that has potential. At the End of the movie I was left off with plenty of questions I would hope that they could answer them. Hope this turns ou well.

 Any word on whether or not we'll be getting Adam West's batman series on dvd now that warner & fox worked out the Watchmen fiasco?

AMiSHPiRATE, haven't heard. Trust me as soon as I get the email you'll know. Read an interview with West back in July and he talked about how great the colors looked and the special features they were planning. It could have been nothing but who knows...

Why not combine the two pitches. I think Hollywood has a tendency of casting the female leads for the possibility of breast shots and the old scream queen mentality. However, this type of logic just does not work anymore and if you want proof just look at any of Wes Craven's films after Scream.

So here is my pitch:

The film picks up fifteen years later as you said with the son from the first film working as an NYPD Officer/Detective. The son is good at his job, and is even considered the best detective because he seems to know certain things that others don't. Turns out that the son can still see into the mirrors and what he sees are his father. His father doesn't age due to the fact that the mirror world stops aging. The mirror world in many ways is a porgatory for lost souls and Ben is the first human to ever go between this world. The movie switches between the two worlds and shows Ben interacting with different characters. All of a sudden murders start happening in both the mirror world and the real world and its up to the father and son duo to work together to solve the mystery. I think your pitch about the demon could work except that a demon is trying to get stronger and break through, while a human is working with demon in the real world because of some obsession or belief that the demon will make him all powerful.

The issue I had with the first film is that the movie left the setting frequently to journey to the family house and then to the nunnery. To many questions started to arise from this, like why didn't the family just take down all the mirrors in the house instead of painting them. The whole concept seemed rather silly in that light. Plus, the mother just seemed to not fit the part for some reason. The movie needs to stay in dark and gritty places. The psychiatrist scene at the end that you mention does not work becasue its been done in movies like THEY for instance. Or even in some aspects American McGee's Alice. I think Eli Roth made a good comment about horror films in short he said that as long as people keep seeing the PG13 redux movies then thats what will be made, but if people want to see something new and ask for it, then that will happen.

Here's my pitch:

Mirrors 2: Glass Menagerie

Ben Carson, after becoming trapped in the purgatory-like mirror universe, struggles to survive while being hunted by the vengeful demons that are trapped inside with him. Back in the real world, a psychic/medium studying the tragic events of the Mayflower comes into contact with Carson through a shard of glass from one of the broken mirrors. She becomes Carson's only hope of trying to cross back over, unfortunately the demons become aware of her psychic ability and attempt to gain control of her so that they can posses her and escape.

With the help of the medium and and the angelic spirit of Anna Esseker, Carson races against time to return to the real world,stop the demons from crossing back over, and destroy the Mayflower once and for all.

I say find a way to tie it all together to Carpenter's Prince of Darkness so I can finally see a sequel to that.

Mirrors: Seven Years Bad Luck

The role of Ben Carson is assumed by a generic, handsome actor much younger than Sutherland but adept at mimicing the raspy-rattle-smoker voice of Kiefer.  He is in the mirror world.  His kid catches a glimpse of him during childhood and grows to be an "alcoholic" cop.  People think he's crazy and hell maybe he is, but it's crazy world and it brings men down roads... anyway, a crack military unit is called in and there are even more demons and death and mirrors and cliches.  Did I mention the extra tits because of all the mirrors?
