Would you like to see a sequel to "Legend" in the future (don't think about how Hollywood would mangle it, but rather, do you think adding another chapter to the story would be a good idea or is the story complete now so that adding more would weaken it?)

Yes

Undecided

If there were a sequel but only some (or perhaps none) of the original actors signed on to do the film (obviously Billy Barty wouldn't be back as Screwball because he recently passed away. Tom Cruise would almost definitely not resume his role as Jack), would you like the sequel to be made with substitute actors?

Yes--new actors would be fine as long as it's "Legend"

No--without the original actors it wouldn't be "Legend" anymore

Would you like to see a remake of the film (not a sequel, but remaking the same story--most likely with some actors being different)?

Yes--Hollywood could do so much more with it now

No--it's perfectly fine the way it is

Undecided

Would you like the movie to be re-relased to the big screen (like Star Wars a few years back), most likely with new scenes, etc.?

Yes--it would be a box office success this time around

No--it would just flop like last time.

Many of you are aware that David Bennent--who played Gump--is German and that in the final cut of the film all his lines were re-dubbed by Alice Playten (Blix). Ridley Scott did this because he thought the David's accent would be intimidating and hard-to-understand for children viewers. Do you agree or disagree with this strategy?

Agree--children might have trouble understanding the accent

Disagree--the accent would have been fine and should have stayed

Out of these listed movies, which one do you think is most similar to "Legend" (I didn't ask which other one you like or love--compare with "Legend," but don't simply gush over Jareth or Lady Amalthea or something:-):

If Ridley Scott had not directed the movie, which of these directors would you have prefered to have done it?

James Cameron ("Titanic," "Terminator")

Tim Burton ("Sleepy Hollow," "Edward Scissorhands")

Steven Spielberg ("Jurassic Park," "Schindler's List")

Ron Howard "Far and Away," "Willow")

Gearge Lucus ("Star Wars," "Star Wars: Episode I")

Now for a few demographics and such. What is your gender?

Male

Female

What is your age range?

In what country do you live (or what country are you from if you feel that is more valid than your residency)?

What age (approximately) were you when you first saw "Legend?"

If you had to take a guess as to how many times you've seen "Legend" (any version), how many would you say? (Be honest and try not to exaggerate or underestimate)

If you had to classify yourself with regard to what level a fan you are of the movie, what would you say you are?

Casual watcher--cool movie but not my life

Casual fan--love the movie but don't go to extremes

Big fan--can't get enough of it

Huge fan--a walking fountain of "Legend" trivia

Obsessed fan--live and breath it, would die without it
