![]() And then I went back and saw it again, and it's like, 'Oh yeah, this movie ages great with time.'" "For many, many years I didn't really want to see it because I thought the movie didn't work, it wasn't what the script was, it was not as good as the script, it had its production problems. "The only movie that I went back recently, that we made and rewatched and I was surprised at how well it held up, is Waterworld," Davis told Collider. If Waterworld was simply ahead of its time, then Davis thinks now would be the perfect opportunity to bring it back. It would seem that he feels audiences will react the same way when Waterworld continues as a sequel series, hopefully with the original cast involved. Reviews were mixed and Waterworld dramatically underperformed at the box office, and it was only able to recoup its expenses on home video and rental.Īs for why Davis would want to revisit Waterworld in light of its disappointing release in 1995, he insists that the movie has only gotten better with age.

"Larry Gordon and myself, we're the producers on that movie. ![]() And we should have a writer locked in, I would think, over the next couple of weeks." Dan's attached, we're breaking the story now and we're talking to a few different writers. We're talking to folks, but nobody's locked in yet. But definitely, we're in the building stages right now. Davis' producing partner at Davis Entertainment, John Fox, added: "We're not 100% sure on the approach to the show.
