First thing first: it would be kind of silly for an “Air Force One” sequel to have the President’s plane taken over by terrorists again. Which means any sequel would require a change of scenery. Speaking with Syfy, screenwriter Andrew W. Marlowe revealed the potential sequel would’ve taken the story out of the sky and set it at sea — on an Air Force carrier. As he put it:
“Harrison as as president goes someplace, he’s on an Air Force carrier, it’s attacked, he’s in the middle of an unstable geopolitical situation. And so, there are things he can and can’t do, because you don’t want to inflame it. He’s got to navigate it and he’s the person at the heart of it. There are many variations on it and with the tuning fork, we didn’t get it to the point where we are all like, ‘Ah, that’s perfect! We’re not repeating the first movie. We’re building on it.'”
Having Ford’s ass-kicking POTUS on a ship has potential, although it also immediately brings to mind the very enjoyable 1992 Steven Seagal pic “Under Siege,” in which terrorists take over a battleship and Seagal, as a Navy SEAL (and cook!), has to save the day. In any case, the “Air Force One” sequel never got off the ground, and that’s probably for the best, as there’s always a chance it would’ve turned out to be a pale imitation of the enjoyable first film. Now get off my plane!
