  • Announcements of classic movie remakes, reboots, and sequels are commonplace in the 2010s, so film fans who came across a video in July 2018 purporting to be a trailer for Forrest Gump 2: Forever Jenny they were prone to believe that it was real: The video is a parody created by YouTuber VJ4rawr2 in May 2018, using clips from various movies such as A Hologram for the King, Inferno, and the original Forrest Gump. Perhaps the most obvious appropriated scene in the parody trailer comes from a non-Tom Hanks movie: Titanic. At the 1:03 mark, a large ship appears with a banner reading Jenny draped across its stern. Fans of the 1997 James Cameron film will recognize the ship as the ill-fated Titanic departing the dock. Below is a comparison of the two clips. The image from Cameron's Titanic is on top, the Forrest Gump parody version is on the bottom: VJ4rawr2 explains in a description of the video on YouTube that the Forrest Gump 2: Forever Jenny trailer is a spoof, and in no way connected to an official sequel to the famous Tom Hanks movie: Nor was this the first parody trailer created by VJ4awr2. His YouTube page also contains spoof trailers for sequels to movies such as Titanic, Coco, Inside Out, and a live action Aladdin: Winston Groom, the author of the original Forrest Gump novel, did write a follow-up called Gump & Co. in 2005. There were multiple attempts to turn the book into a movie, but these projects never gained much traction. (en)
