Demolition Man
Demolition Manproducer Joel Silver once pitched a continuation concept where Meryl Streep would have played Sylvester Stallone ’s daughter . Demolition Manwas an action mechanism comedy that pitted Stallone ’s unrelenting bull againstWesley Snipes’insane villain , with the two enemies being glacial and thawed out in a utopian futurity . The picture show was a freehanded hit upon release in 1993 , mixing great activity setpieces with surprisingly witty satire .
The script forDemolition Manfloated around Hollywood for twelvemonth prior to being made , with everybody from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Jean - Claude Van Damme and Jackie Chan being count . The movie recently celebrated its 25th anniversary , with Taco Bell – who seem conspicuously in the movie as the only food chain to survive the ' franchise state of war ' - marking the occasion by recreating the swish restaurant seen in the film at the San Diego Comic - Con .

A deleted subplot fromDemolition Manfinds Stallone ’s graphic symbol John Spartan tracking down his daughter , who – thanks to the decade he spent in cryosleep – is now sure-enough than he is . This story thread was taken out in editing but conscientious objector - author Daniel Waters revealed onThe Production Boothpodcast that producer Joel Silver want to revisit this idea for a potential subsequence .
I get a call from Joel . ' What do you think of this ? Meryl Streep is Stallone ’s girl for the sequel . What do you think ? ' I ’m like ' Ok , you get Meryl on the circle and I ’ll come out . '
A sequel toDemolition Mandidn’t ultimately happen , but one that would have teamed Stallone withMeryl Streepwould have been interesting . Streep is n’t exactly bed for appearing in action or genre movies either , so it would have been a real change of pace for the acclaimed actress . That say , it seems like Silver was spitballing ideas in the wake of the movie ’s winner , so it ’s hard to say how just how serious he treated the whim .
Waters also bring out a big reasonDemolition Man’sdaughter subplot was transfer was because run audiences assumedSandra Bullock’sfollow tec would be revealed to be his girl – until their practical realness sexual activity scene arrived and grossed them out . Thus , they decided to minimise the idea as much as possible . Another deleted conception run into Stallone and snipe rapidly senesce as the narrative progressed , with the three decades they were frozen catching up with them . This musical theme was get rid of during rewrites due to the threatening prosthetics it would require .
