Will Gregory Smith and Kirsten Dunst return?
Only a week or so after the scribe of the first film, Adam Rifkin, told us that there’s no real movement – as far as he knew- on a “Small Soldiers” (1998) sequel, The Hollywood Reporter busts in with a different answer to that question: Seems there is a sequel to the Joe Dante-directed family pic in the works.
According to the trade, Dreamworks have assigned Alan Schoolcraft & Brent Simons the task of writing the sequel to the film.
No other details are given at this time – though one wouldn’t be too taking big of a guess by predicting it’ll be a direct-to-DVD release. Could be wrong, though.
“Small Soldiers”, which Rifkin and Gavin Scott wrote, starred Gregory Smith (pre-“Everwood”) and Kirsten Dunst (pre-”Spider-Man”) as a couple of kids doing battle with some very life-like toys. A toy soldier (voiced by Tommy Lee Jones), who takes his battle programming too seriously, was the main foe.
The $40 million dollar film made its money back – and had a bit left over.
