Movie sequels almost never do as well as the original, and given the sort of public opinion we are seeing about global warming/climate change/climate disruption, this idea for a sequel to An Inconvenient Truth will likely go over like a lead balloon.
(h/t to WUWT Jason) They write:
Al Gore might need to dust off his projector. The creative forces behind the Oscar-winning environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth are hatching plans for a sequel to the film that raised global awareness of climate change. “We have had conversations,” producer Lawrence Bender tells THR. “We’ve met; we’ve discussed. If we are going to make a movie, we want it to have an impact.”
Heh, like Gore’s Reality Drop…
(Lower number is better, ex: Google is traffic rank #1)
…I look forward to watching his sequel….bomb.

Thought it was an April fool joke.
I predict it will bomb. They went to the well too many times. People were intrigued when it was new. Now they see it as a schtick. It’ll just be Gore enriching himself. I predict it does no where near what first one did. This is similar to when musicians or movie stars go back to what they did before once their celebrity fails. They just hope to remind people of what made them popular in the first place.
These are desperate times for the alarmists. This is becoming obvious. Their actions betray their lack of confidence.
Inconvenient Truth II, I can hardly wait.
Doesn’t he learn?
In the same genre, I prefer another sequel to ‘War of the Worlds’ at least that ‘scare their pants off’ fantasy had a credible presenter of science fiction.
I think Al is in love with green propaganda..
More rolling thunder from the king of BS himself.. Can I get a witness?
These producers should realize that last time there was a big vacuum amongst the public when it came to knowledge of climate, models, etc.Gore had, essentially, no critics. Different this time
around. There will be a multitude willing and able to shred anything Gore says.
I don’t think they have the balls. This is the age of the blogosphere. Here’s the sequence of events:
Day 1, movie is released.
Day 2, claims in the movie are shredded on WUWT and other blogs.
Day 3, the people going to the movie are full of skeptics with printed out lists of all the inaccuracies to hand out to other people….
I dare them.
I double dare them.
MTV picked this up and offered a list of possible titles:
“An Inconvenient Truth: Age of Extinction”
“Convenient Lies”
“An Inconvenient Truth Rises”
“Another 48 Inconvenient Truths”
“An Inconvenient Truth: Why Aren’t You People Listening?”
“An Inconvenienter Truth”
“Two Inconvenient Truths And a Lie”
“2 Inconvenient 2 Truth”
“An Inconvenient Truth: Revolution”
“Dawn Of The Planet Of The Inconvenient Truth”
“An Inconvenient Truth 2: (Turbine-Generated) Electric Boogaloo”
Correct me if I’m mistaken, but it appears they are mocking Al Gore. This is good sign, he’s losing the Gen-xers.

Great!
Would gore be available?
I hope the big oil companies will invest hundreds of millions in this.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
An Inconvenient Sequel –

Amr is right–this April Fool is a day late!
Hopefully they lose $100 million of their OWN money.

Jeff,
I’m not picking on you, as you express the sentiment of most of us. However, I see no evidence that any of this makes the least bit of difference. At this point, it does not matter what “the people” know to be true. The statists are in control and we’re not.
“Reality Drop” – heh! It reminds me of that Disney move “Operation Dumbo Drop” in which an elephant was parachuted into Vietnam.
If they do a remake of Dumbo Drop, gore can stand-in for the elephant.
Oh wait – he might be over qualified.

Maybe this is a good thing and Gore is planning on clearing up the multitude of factual errors in the first film. Or maybe we’ll see flying manbearpigs.
even the comments on the Hollywood reporter are damning the idea.

Great! The more money they waste on stupid crap like this the less they have for other things.
