      I, too, am waiting hopefully for another film starring Mr. Hackman. I've been amazed by and entertained by him for over forty years. He's one of the few actors we have whose presence is sufficient to guarantee good entertainment.

        Well, how about doing a small indie film or in Europe? Hollywood is not the only place you can do what you love, you know! Plus it will most likely be done in a short time and not too physically demanding, so I'm sure he can pull it off. Come on Gene, one last good role please! πŸ™‚

            Indeed, If you can't retire when you're 80 then when can you retire? He's been working long enough. Time to live life 100% when you're getting so old since you might not have that long left.

                hackman is one of the best. converation and french connection are two of the best movies i have ever seen. they also include two of the best performances i have ever seen.

                    For me, this wish for just one more brought to mind
                    so many of the great performances he gave over his long career
                    and how much I miss watching him in great movies.
                    I remember the day the press announced that he was retiring
                    from acting. It made me feel like the day my favorite neighbor
                    moved away. I miss that Gene Hackman in movies these days.

                          absolutely agree! and it needs to be either a very serious drama or something hilarious.

                            The final inevitable question: Can we hold on any hope of seeing you on the screen again?
                            Only in reruns.
                            That's it?
                            Yeah, that's it. I'm at a place where I feel very good about not having to work all night.

                              Gene Hackman was originally going to play a part in Sean Penn's "The Indian Runner" that went to Charles Bronson. If Penn ever casts him in one of his movies, i think he will come out of retirement. The parts in his movies are just so good. Look what he did to Charles Bronson in the film and for Hal Holbrook in his Academy Award nominated part in "Into The Wild".

                                He probably doesn't like how Hollywood works now and thinks it best to leave his acting legacy as is, like Sean Connery did.
                                I do wish he did another movie though, there are plenty of directors he could collaborate with.

                                  While Welcome to Mooseport was a cute movie, having it be the final credit for someone like Hackman just doesn't seem right.

                                    There is something so genuine with his acting
                                    he may have quit for good, but we can always wish

                                      I think one way to coax him out of retirement would be to option one of his novels
                                      for a movie. Offer him a small part in the film and I bet he would do it!
