~ A Question for the Members: Does this movie's premise seem to suggest ideas for a sequel?

Oh boy, THIS one is just itchin' for a sequel!

At the end of the movie we see our heroes assisting the Future Folks (both normals and mutants) begin a new life on the surface, working together to build the first of a series of structures, while one of the astronauts — Christopher Dark as Hank Jaffe — becomes a teacher for the children of the Future Folks, a very personal project to help him deal with the loss of the family he left behind in the past.

One sexy aspect of this story is the way the movie clearly states that the women are all gorgeous and eager for some good lovin’, while the male population are wimpy little guys who don’t contribute much to the gene pool.

Our studly astronauts are therefore duty bound to improve the race by shagging ever gal in sight and adding some he-men to the population. (Hell, it’s a thankless job, but somebody's gotta do it!)

And, of course, the cavemen-like normal folks who were enslave d by the mean old mutants will now be living in a high-tech social system where they can enjoy nice clothes, plenty of food, and good medical facilities — which means the cavegirls might clean up real nice and receive some beauty tips, along with a thorough make-over from those drop-dead gorgeous ladies we see in the movie.





My point is that the hot scenes in World Without End with Hugh Marlow and Nancy Gates, not to mention Rod Taylor and Shawn Smith, will get even hotter in the sequel!





Story-wise we’ve got a wealth of characters for our sequel, as well as dramatic possibilities that make this concept a playground for writers! The lusty caveboys and cavegirls will tend to intimidate the timid Future Folks (both the men and even the women to some degree), so we can have lots of interesting conflicts in this new expanded social system.

But what will the gist of the story be?

In the movie we hear Hugh Marlow ask the Future Folks to help them repair their rocket so they can cruise around the Earth and find other pockets of civilization. If that happens in the sequel, Hank the school teacher might decide to stay home and reinvent teacher "tenure" while he keeps his wives happy and busy raising his new kids.

The older fellow, Dr. Eldon Galbraithe, might be busy with scientific research and a few lady friends of his own (in one scene he expressed great appreciation for the female attention he was getting).

So that would leave Hugh and Rod to go off on an adventurous rocket ride.

They could invite along a former caveman and cavewoman who want to travel and see the world, and these hearty folks (recently rescued from a savage life) would be well equipped to help deal with other tribes of mutants-and-enslaved-normal-folks which the explorers encounter.

These two former cavepeople would dress in a curious blend of old and new garments to remind use of their “roots”. Their grasp of English would be colorfully primitive, despite the fact that they’re both very intelligent.

What these adventurers might find out there in the world could be anything. There might be remnants of a 20th century city with thousands of desperate survivors barely clinging to existence amid the rubble. Or perhaps there would be futuristic cities that float above a savage land of mutated animals (monsters) and savage cavemen!

Wow, with possibilities like these to choose from I could happily write two or three sequels for World Without End!
