 A Taxi Driver sequel in the works? You gotta be kidding me...
This is from http://www.imdb.com
Screen legend Robert De Niro has reunited with iconic director Martin Scorsese to work on a sequel to their classic movie Taxi Driver. The Oscar-winning actor, who starred as disturbed Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle in the 1976 film, has confirmed the movie veterans are mulling over script ideas for a follow-up to the gritty original. Apart from his comedy turn in Meet The Parents and its recent sequel Meet The Fockers, De Niro has starred in a series of flop films - and critics are hoping Travis Bickle's resurrection will restore his reputation as one of the greatest dramatic actors of all time. De Niro, 61, says, "I was talking with Martin Scorsese about doing what I guess you'd call a sequel to Taxi Driver, where he is older."

The only thing it'll do is increase awareness of the original among teens and young adults. Otherwise...

Ohh this gives me hope for Chinatown 2, and The Conversation 2. 
edit: lmao they did make a Chinatown 2 didn't they? The Two Jakes. I guess that didn't hurt the reputation of the original so it's a good sign that maybe Taxi Driver 2: This Time Its Personal won't hurt the reputation of the original TD.

Travis Bickle becomes a hit man and captures Jamie Foxx, who's taxi turns into a sportscar as they attempt to save Marilu Henner from evil gangsters who threaten to kill her because she has dirty secrets that expose Jodie Foster, the new First Lady, as being a prostitute in New York City in the 1970s.
It is thrilling.
