So, the other day, I got thinking about sequels. You know how it is, sometimes a movie pops into your head, and then you wonder if they ever made another one. That happened with Nine & a Half Weeks. Classic, right? But then I vaguely remembered hearing about a sequel, something like Another Nine & a Half Weeks. My first thought was, “Did they really get Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger back for that?” Seemed unlikely, especially after all that time.
Naturally, I had to figure this out. It wasn’t like a burning question keeping me up at night, more like an itch I needed to scratch. Fired up the old computer, went searching. Typed in something simple, like “another nine and a half weeks cast”. You get a bunch of stuff right away, of course. Some movie database sites, some articles maybe.
Digging into the Cast List
Okay, so the first thing I confirmed was Mickey Rourke. Yep, he actually did come back to play John Gray. That surprised me a little, honestly. You don’t always see the original stars return for sequels made much later, especially when the first one was so iconic for the pairing.
But then, the big question: Kim Basinger? Nope. Just as I suspected. Elizabeth wasn’t in the picture for this one. Instead, the main female role went to someone else. I had to look up the name a couple of times because it wasn’t immediately familiar to me in the context of this movie.
Here’s who I found were the main players:
- Mickey Rourke as John Gray (obviously)
- Angie Everhart as Lea Calot. She was the new female lead. She was a model, I think? Makes sense for the vibe they were probably going for.
- Steven Berkoff was also in it, playing Vitorio DaSilva. I recognized his name, he pops up in a lot of things, often playing intense characters.
There were other names listed, of course, but these seemed like the core people involved based on what I could gather. It wasn’t a huge ensemble cast or anything.
My Takeaways
Finding the cast list was pretty straightforward, didn’t take much digging. It sort of confirmed what I thought – Rourke came back, Basinger didn’t. Seeing Angie Everhart’s name there made sense for a mid-90s sequel trying to capture some of that original provocative feel, using a well-known model-actress of the time.
It’s funny how you go down these little rabbit holes. Started with just wondering about a sequel and ended up looking up cast lists and thinking about casting choices from decades ago. Didn’t make me rush out to watch the movie, mind you, but it satisfied my curiosity about who ended up in Another Nine & a Half Weeks. Just Rourke carrying the torch, with a new face alongside him. Interesting stuff.
