The Sequel
After the success of the movie, Winston Groom made the decision to write a sequel to Forrest Gump. The sequel, titled “Gump & Co.”, deliberately incorporates frequent grammar and spelling errors to evoke Forrest’s lack of education and cognitive abilities. Larry King praised the novel as “the funniest novel I have ever read.” In 2001, Eric Roth adapted the sequel into a screenplay. However, it seems unlikely that a movie sequel will be made after over 25 years since the original release. Nevertheless, who knows? Maybe a whole new generation will soon have the opportunity to experience the charm of Gump.

Last Name Of Jenny
J was seldom addressed by her surname, yet her character still possessed one in the movie. If you observe closely, you’ll catch glimpses of it as “Curran”. Although the film never explicitly mentions it, you can spot it on the back of the envelope that Forrest mailed to her from Vietnam. Furthermore, it’s inscribed on her childhood home’s mailbox. Lastly, the letters she receives in the hospital also bear her name. While Jenny may not have uttered her full name as frequently as Gump, she undeniably possessed one.
