In the end, studio\u00a0Warner Bros. passed on the idea, and I bet they really feel like dopes about that now.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theringer.com\/movies\/2021\/7\/7\/22565971\/nineties-neo-noir-film-history-usual-suspects-basic-instinct\">The Ringer<\/a>,\u00a0<em>L.A. Confidential<\/em> screenwriter Brian Helgeland dropped some info on the\u00a0<em>L.A. Confidential<\/em> sequel that almost was. \u201cA few years ago, the Oscar-winning filmmaker Brian Helgeland went to Warner Bros. with what seemed like a dynamite movie pitch: a sequel to <em>L.A. Confidential<\/em>, the 1997 Hollywood cop drama he co-wrote with director Curtis Hanson,\u201d The Ringer reports. \u201cHelgeland had already secured a top-tier cast, including returning <em>Confidential<\/em> costars Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce, alongside Chadwick Boseman, who\u2019d be playing a young police officer. He\u2019d developed a new story with <em>L.A. Confidential<\/em> novelist James Ellroy, one that would be set in the mid-\u201970s.\u201d<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post -->\u201cWe worked the whole thing out,\u201d Helgeland said. \u201cIt was great. And Warners passed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In retrospect, passing on this sounds like a huge mistake. But it probably should\u2019ve sounded like a huge mistake in the past, too. After all,\u00a0<em>L.A. Confidential<\/em> was an Oscar-winning hit. Warner Bros. should\u2019ve been jumping at the chance to return to that world with most of the original players involved. But it was not to be, and now we can only wonder how things would\u2019ve turned out.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/curtis-hanson-dead.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-374939\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/curtis-hanson-dead-700x300.jpg\" alt=\"L.A.

Quartet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that Ellroy\u2019s\u00a0<em>L.A. Confidential<\/em> book is already part of a series \u2013 a series called the\u00a0<em>L.A. Quartet<\/em>. And it\u2019s not even the first book in that series, either. The first book is\u00a0<em>The Black Dahlia<\/em>, and a few of the characters in\u00a0<em>L.A. Confidential<\/em> appear within its pages.\u00a0<em>The Black Dahila<\/em> was adapted into a film in 2006, and it was unfortunately not very good.<\/p>\n<p>In Ellory\u2019s continuity,\u00a0<em>L.A. Confidential<\/em> is followed by a book called\u00a0<em>White Jazz<\/em>, which focuses on a crooked cop named\u00a0Lieutenant Dave Klein. However, Ellroy\u2019s book is set in 1958, which means that the \u201970s-set sequel Helgeland wrote is something original and not based on\u00a0<em>White Jazz<\/em>. Since Helgeland says he worked with Ellory on the story, it\u2019s likely that Ellory offered up ideas from some of his other books, but it sounds like this was going to be a brand new story that would continue the events of\u00a0<em>L.A. Confidential<\/em>.
