Do movie taglines still exist? Was their original purpose just to psyche people up for the film?

Yeah, they still exist. Some movies have multiple taglines. And pretty much. They're meant to be short and attention grabbing, make you think more about the film in regards to what the tagline means. It's an enticement to go see the picture and find out.

Edge of Tomorrow's tagline was so much better than the real title that the latter is practically gone from home media: Live. Die. Repeat.

The Meg had some pretty good taglines, their marketing department was on the ball. They even had a floor decal of a shark's mouth at the base of our escalator so it looked like you were heading into the jaws.

Not a question but a recommendation: I finally saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in 70mm. I'd been wanting to see that movie on a big screen my whole life. This year is the 50th anniversary of its release and it's currently traveling around, I strongly suggest you see it if you have the chance! What a great experience. The effects still amazing, even fifty years on. It's so cool to see a movie that has that level of care and craft but still comes across as so seamless.

What are some examples of sequel films where the sequel was done significantly later, by a different team? 2010 and Blade Runner 2049 are the obvious examples, but I'm sure there are others.

Not significantly later, but Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was produced by Paramount's television division, as opposed to the clusterfuck that was The Motion Picture.

Blues Brothers 2k was still Landis and Aykroyd. The Thing prequel fits both criteria.

Fantasia was 1940 and Fantasia 2000 was 1999/2000, if that counts (it might not, since the second one wasn't continuing a story from the first). There's a number of Disney DTV sequels to their animated movies that sometimes came out decades after the original movies and didn't tend to be coming from the same creative crew. Return to Oz was about 40 years after The Wizard of Oz and as I recall it's presented as a sequel.

Coaaab posted:The Color of Money The Color of Money is probably the best example since The Hustler had an older established actor (Gleason) with the hot new actor (Newman) and then Color of Money had the older established actor (Newman) with the hot new actor (Cruise). So now all we need is Cruise in a 3rd movie with whatever passes for the hottest new actor (comedy Shia LaBeouf option). Also most people who watch Color of Money probably have no idea there even was another movie, which is about as overdue and obscure as you can get for a sequel.

Similarly, Sleuth (1972) had the older Laurence Olivier vs. the younger Michael Caine. The 2007 remake had the now older Michael Caine vs. the younger Jude Law.

Why even remake Sleuth when the original one is basically perfect?

There are any number of direct to video sequels that match this criteria (eg Road House 2, A Christmas Story 2, Hard Target 2), most of which are trash, but some, like Issac Florentine Undisputed sequels and John Hyams' Universal Soldier sequels, immensely improve on the originals.

There was also 10 years between The Hand that Rocks the Cradle and its sequel, Cradle 2 the Grave, which had a completely different cast and crew.

Trying to remember the name of a film. -Made within the last 20 years -Takes place almost entirely on an spaceship; dark, industrial feel -Earth's having a bad time; a handful of survivors are trying to find a new home -The mission's evidently been disrupted by sabotage; man vs man theme -Plot twist at the end involving an ocean and escape pods One of the crew members has hid from the others that they've been on their destination for years; they are at the bottom of the sea in a clement alien world. A pair of heroes discovers this in a confrontation near the end, dispatches our villain, and surfaces using escape pods.
