The 2000s were a great time for many original movies and IPs. As we move further into the 2020s, however, the movies begin to resonate with fans in a more nostalgic manner. It’s no surprise, then, that another 2000s movie might be receiving a sequel – and more than 25 years after it was originally released!
At the time of this writing, nothing is set in stone, but the film’s original producer insisted that a follow-up is a possibility. In fact, he’s teased that they’ve even considered a television spin-off based on the property. Either way, it looks like this fan-favorite cult classic from 2000 is set to make a comeback.
Jerry Bruckheimer teased as much while speaking with ScreenRant. During their conversation, Bruckheimer was asked about an earlier film he produced from 2000 and whether or not it could receive a sequel. Here’s what he shared:
“Ah, that’s a good idea. Thanks for that,” Bruckheimer replied, referring to Coyote Ugly. He continued to share that they have been developing some kind of Coyote Ugly project for television:
“We’ve been trying to do it for television. It hasn’t quite happened yet – maybe we’ll get it together.”
With his response in mind, it seems as though a Coyote Ugly sequel still isn’t in the works completely. However, he seems open to the idea, having previously explored the possibility with a TV series. Perhaps if there’s enough interest from fans – they’ll be able to get a continuation off the ground in one form or another.
The original Coyote Ugly film was directed by David McNally from a screenplay by Gina Wendikos with uncredited contributions from Kevin Smith in addition to a number of other writers. The story revolves around a group of friends at the Coyote Ugly Saloon in New York City. The flick did well at the box office, and while it didn’t receive positive reviews at the time of its release, it did eventually develop a cult following.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding Jerry Bruckheimer‘s plans to potentially revive the 2000s movie Coyote Ugly with a sequel. As for now, we’ll have to see what other projects he has on the way, including the highly-anticipated F1: The Movie.
