The unthinkable has happened - Fox is working on a Sandlot prequel

[Mook]

Of all the shitty fucking ideas Hollywood has.....this might be the most idiotic one.

There’s not much room for a prequel since there aren’t any stories alluded to by the original kids in the movie. But apparently the film’s plot will have something to do with the legend of The Beast that is told to Scottie after the Babe Ruth-signed baseball ends up in the backyard of old man Mr. Myrtle. Of course, that legend concerned the dog eating a couple of junkyard bandits, so there must another story about The Beast that has yet to be detailed.

Fans of The Sandlot might remember that Hamilton “Ham” Porter references a kid who went into Mr. Myrtle’s backyard once but ended up getting eaten, so maybe that will have something to do with this prequel story. Either way, I’m sure this will feature a whole new group of kids, maybe in the 1950s this time, who have to deal with The Beast before anyone from the original movie has even moved into the neighborhood.

somethings need to be left alone.

 

[radioguy6]

so a direct to video plot based on the neighborhood legend that the "beast" actually ate people. Did they watch the original movie to the end? That dog never ate anyone

You know there was a Sandlot sequel, right?

 

[Yaj Yak]

OH MY GOD THERE WAS

 

[radioguy6]

I'd say it was more of a remake than a sequel.... a very bad remake
