The success of "Romancing the Stone" also led to a sequel that was equally successful commercially, 1985's "The Jewel of the Nile", without Zemeckis at the helm but with Douglas, Turner and DeVito all returning. Another sequel, called "The Crimson Eagle", never made it past the development stage. This planned yet unproduced sequel would have seen Jack Colton and his partner Joan Wilder take their two teenage children to Thailand where they would find themselves blackmailed into stealing a priceless statue. DeVito reunited Douglas, Turner, and himself in his 1989 film "The War of the Roses".
