7 Movies That Need Their Own Kickstarter Campaign

How much would you pay to greenlight a sequel to your favorite movie or resurrect your favorite canceled TV show for a feature length film? Would you donate $10 and receive a page of the actual script, or would you donate $10,000 in return for an on-screen talking role in the film itself? Sure, it's worked for short films and other projects, but could a big-budget film requiring millions of dollars in start-up cash be able to raise enough from the public to appease studio heads before investing themselves?

Grandma’s Boy 2

I can’t be the only one who wants a Grandma’s Boy sequel, am I?! It’s the only Happy Madison production I actually seek out to watch and it still stands as one of the funniest stoner comedies released in my generation, and captures nerdist humor like no other immature R-rated film has done recently. From the drug-dealing Dante, to the kung-fu monkey, to Allen Covert wanking it to a Barbie – this thing is pure, juvenile fun wrapped around hilarious druggie humor.

Sure, it only took in $6,566,277 worldwide over an estimate $5,500,000, but do DVD sales closer to $30,000,000 solidify Grandma’s Boy as a certified cult hit? I think it does. So again I ask, why haven’t we seen a Grandma’s Boy 2 by now?!

Maybe Happy Madison isn’t convinced after such low box office numbers, but that’s why a Kickstarter campaign could change their minds in an instant! Go ahead, put it out there for the people to decide, and they’ll show you how many fans regret missing the film in theaters, discovering it on cable TV somewhere or though a quick rental. I myself was the only person in a large group of friends who had seen the film, but once I showed two of my friends, it spread like a bad disease. Seriously, they all bought copies, all started quoting it, all started loving it – and for once my movie hipster tenancies didn’t make me hate the situation.

Do it Happy Madison, Kickstart this bitch, let the people decide!
