On the publicity trail for his upcoming comedy THE FAMILY, Robert De Niro has been talking up some of his previous movies, and speaking to The Guardian the actor has been quoted in saying that a sequel to the 1970s classic TAXI DRIVER could have happened.
“I talked to Marty [Scorsese] and Paul [Schrader] and we did take a shot at something, whether it was an outline or a script, I forget. But somehow we didn’t feel it was right and it didn’t take off.” He said.
“But I’d like to see where Travis is today. There was something about the guy – all that rage and alienation, that’s what the city can do to you. I mean Marty and I are from New York, and even we can feel alienated.”
Wow. There was no explanation as to when the conversation happened, but it is certianly an interesting idea.
What do you think? Should we see a sequel to TAXI DRIVER?
THE FAMILY will be reviewed on The Hollywood News next week ahead of its release on the 22nd November.
