A sequel set generations after the original film, exploring how humanity has evolved on a flooded Earth \u2014 and how myths of the \u201cDryland\u201d explorers have turned into legend.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"1210\">While no official project is in development, Trachtenberg\u2019s interest highlights how <em data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"969\">Waterworld<\/em> has transformed from a notorious Hollywood flop into a cult classic ripe for reinvention.
