All Sci-Fi member tmlindsey made some very interesting comments about a proposed sequel to Them!

Them! (1954)



I always thought there should have been a modern sequel made while Arness and Whitmore were still alive. They did leave the sequel door WIDE open with the part about the one (north, I think) sector being out of contact while they were blocking off tunnels. Maybe a SyFy Channel movie, but y'know, actually GOOD.

The sequel could have had Arness and Weldon's kid or grand kid in or attached to the military and being called in to investigate weird goings on.

When they suspect that it's THEM again, he visits his parents (Arness and Weldon) and they end up discovering Whitmore's character, who was not killed but horribly injured and being kept alive in seclusion by the government.

Even the actress who played the little Ellison girl is still alive and she could have been involved somehow (inspired to study insects by the experience, for example).

I think it could have been a fun sequel if they involved the original cast members as possible and treated it with respect.
