Goonies to get sequel?
If they do this, they better do it right. I don’t want to see this get a sub-par sequel..*cough* Lost Boys:The Tribe*cough*
Predator Director Picked by Rodriguez
Robert Rodriguez has chosen the director for the next Predator film. Nimrod Antal, who directed KONTROLL and VACANCY. Rodriguez is on the projects as producer.
Rodriguez has this comment on the project’s story:
“It involves a very intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors.”
Predator is a beloved character, so reboot and remakes remain tricky and final judgment should be made once the film is out. But Rodriguez’s involvement is be a good thing as he’s just a fanboy at heart like many of us. Here’s hoping his directors choice turns out well. Yup.

Looks like Disney is goin to hop on the sequel train…I just hope they do it right.
Saw not done after 6?
Looks like we’ll be getting more of the consistently underwhelming Saw series. According to a recent interview with BD things are looking like they’ll get up to 8, with a chance for a 9th flick. Read on for more details.
‘Twilight’ Sequel Already Greenlit
After stomping the competition Friday night (taking in over an estimated $35 million), the sequel to the romatic vampire flick ‘Twilight’ has been green lit as of this morning. Who woulda thunk it? Not only was it selling out midnight screenings around the country, but products featuring the ‘Twilight’ name and characters were selling like hotcakes well before the film came out. Read on for the info, if you dare.
‘Tremors’ Sequel Reboot
“Tremors” was one of the fun monster movies to come out of the 90’s. It’s gained quite a cult following and spun off with three straight to video sequels and a TV show. Now it looks like it’s time again for some more graboid action as a fifth “Tremors” film is in the works as a reboot for the franchise.
Sony goes from Secret Agent to Super Smith Sequel.
After ‘Quantum of Solace’ runs it course and makes its money, Sony will no longer hold the 007 rights. But, in an attempt to get some of those Bond dollars they will miss out on(poor them), they will make a sequel to ‘Hancock’. Joy…..
‘Halloween’ Sequel Update
Hey! Hey, all you crazy Zombieween fans. Big news for the upcoming sequel to the horrendous remake/re-imagining. Looks like the directors have been changed, everything else is up in the air, and the biggest problem with the original remake is making a return. Read on for the skinny, and keep a box of tissues close by as horror continues its downward spiral in the mainstream.
‘Cloverfield’ sequel not dead yet.
A sequel to the 2007 monster hit ‘Cloverfield’ is still a possibility. The first film, if you remember, was about a giant monster attacking New York City, and the film was a pseudo home movie of said events. But, will this ever see the light of day? Read on for more…
‘Demonic Toys 2′ Shooting
Our buddies over at BD report that a sequel to the murderous toy film, ‘Demonic Toys’, is in production as I write this. Not only is the cheesy, but fun, film getting a sequel, but it’s being directed by the man that brought us Gingerdead Man 2 and 3. This can only turn out to be a beautiful cheeesefest or a huge disappointment. Read on for more info.
Rob Zombie’s Halloween Gets A Sequel
According to DreadCentral.com, Rob Zombie’s terrible re-imagining of Halloween has somehow (yeah, I know it made money) been greenlit for a direct sequel. On the bright side there is no where to go but up right?
‘Apes’ to Rise again?
I know this is all sorts of wrong, but it’s so damned funny!
Some of us have been unlucky enough to see Tim Burton’s remake of ‘The Planet of the Apes’. We watched in abject terror as our beloved classic was retold as an SFX heavy action film, instead of the more thoughtful, though lower-budgeted classic. Well, news is that another ‘Apes’ film has been swinging around over at Fox and we might just get it. But, it’s not a remake of the classic, and it’s not a sequel to Burton’s. So, what the hell is it? Read on for the skinny.
‘… of the Dead’. Romero at it Again.
Things come in threes. First, we had the classic ‘Dead Trilogy’ (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead – all have been remade, some much more successfully than others) and the three’s don’t stop there. Romero is working on his sixth “Dead” film overall (and third of the decade) with a still unnamed feature. What’s going to happen? Who’s going to die? How many zombies will there be? Will he still talk down to the audience and make us feel like speds like he did in ‘Diary of the Dead’? Who knows. Read on info and a still!
‘Boondock Saints’ Sequel Aleady being Shot?
Who woulda thunk it? Now, I’m not going to be one of those film snob guys, and say I didn’t enjoy the original ‘Boondock Saints’, which seems to be the popular thing to do, because I truly had a good time watching it. I do have a problem with Troy Duffy, the infamous director who wrote the film while working at a bar in Hollywood. After watching the documentary “Overnight” about how he became a big shot and then lost it all, the viewer can’t help but despise the man responsible for such a fun cult film. Read on for more details.
A Downed Economy can’t stop Gekko
Seems that the super-intellegent folks over at Fox continue to make all the right moves. This time, in the middle of a spiraling economy, they decided the best thing to do would be to greenlight a sequel to the Oliver Stone’s ‘Wall Street’. Now, I’m all for continuing on a great story, but, come on, ‘Wall Street’ was a stand alone film, and who in their right mind is going to pay to watch a film about rich guys during times like these? I know there’s more to it than that, but is anyone going to see past the millions of imaginary dollars changing hands? I wouldn’t. Read on for who might be returing, who won’t be and Fox’s general thinking on the matter.
Cheadle joins ‘Iron Man 2′
It seems that Terrence Howard’s time in the Iron Man universe ended a bit prematurely. Sadly, he is not going to appear in the second film, but Don Cheadle will be taking his place. The character of Jim Rodes is an important one as he is Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) best friend and eventually becomes War Machine. I enjoyed Howard’s performance, but I’d have to say at times he felt a bit flat. Let’s see if the Oscar-nominated Cheadle can give Rodes a bit more life. Read on for more.
Jack Black Back with ‘Kung Fu’ Scribes
Kung Fu Panda is still one of my favorite films of the year. It was fun, exciting and consisted of a very colorful cast of characters the the viewer could easily enjoy. Hell, Jack Black took a break from the usual fart jokes and bathroom humor (that’s still funny, don’t get me wrong) to voice Poe, the wannabe kung fu master, noodle making panda. Good times. Great film. Fun for the whole family. Now, that I’m done with my advertisement, read on for some great news if you’re as much a fan of the film as I am.
‘Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds’ Teaser
I am soooooo excited for the sequel to the indie hit ‘Feast’. The first film was a fun, roller-coaster of a ride as the audience followed an unusual group of strangers that must band together to survive for the night as a gang of monsters come hunting. The sequel ‘Sloppy Seconds’ will start the morning after the original ended. Will the blonde bimbo pay for bailing on her friends? Will cranky, BAMF dude survive the second film? And, how the hell is Clu Gulager in the second film if his Bartender character was killed off? By the way, he hangs out at the New Beverly all the time (name-dropping for the win). Well, if any of you are fans of the first film, I’m sure you’re as excited as me for the sequel. Read on for the teaser trailer.
‘Inside Man’ at it Again
Remember a little film called ‘Inside Man’ starring Clive Owen and Denzel Washington? Well, Universal sure as hell does, and the $175 million it took in at the box office. Spike Lee’s film was a sleeper hit and an entertaining ride as the audience follows the two leads as one (Clive Owen) puts his plan into motion to pull off a robbery with more going on beneath the scenes than it seems, and the police negotiator (Denzel Washington) who wants nothing more than to end the standoff with the bank robbers in a peaceful fashion. Read on for more info on the upcoming sequel.
Who You Gonna Call?
Not damn Variety, thats for sure.
What started out as a story of moderate magnitude has become something of pop culture legend over the past hour or two, as Sony has just announced that they are finally working on a script for Ghostbusters 3. Variety keeps editing their story and I’m a bit confused as to whats actually going on but Im going to try and break down both scenarios.
Transportation Is A Precise Business
With Jason Statham getting the insane amount of work he has been over the past few years, and with his latest film with Guy Ritchie, Revolver, being ignored by the masses because its been deemed incomprehensible (it isn’t), it was only a matter of time before he returned to the film series that introduced him as a headlining action star in America. And no, I’m not talking about Ghosts of Mars.
Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008)
Well, as much as they tried, the sequel to Joel Schumacher’s 1987 hit, The Lost Boys, did not make it into theaters but ended up going direct to DVD. Not a big shocker to anyone, I’m sure, but I finally got a chance to watch the film. Check out the trailer and then after the jump, check out my thoughts on Lost Boys: The Tribe, a film that really didn’t warrant as many words as I gave it.

Jon Favreau to direct Iron Man 2!
Let’s start an Iron Man rumor, shall we? Jon Favreau is going to be directing the sequel to the box-office smash Iron Man. Thank God. Iron Man is probably in my top 3 comic book movies of all time, and by far one of the most entertaining films I’ve seen this year. I was like a school-girl drooling over a pop star, watching Robert Downey Jr. kick all sorts of ass and argue with a vacuum.
…Marvel Studios and Iron Mandirector Jon Favreau have reached a deal for him to helm the sequel, due out in 2010. (Robert Downey Jr had a sequel clause in his contract so he’s on board.)…
I’m really hoping they don’t rush this out, because we’ve all seen Pirates 3 and Spiderman 3 (which I use as my bar as worst movie ever – I know there’s worse, but I’d rather watch Glitter then see Spiderman 3 again). Let’s hope that these rumors are true so A) I don’t have to repeal this post and B) we’ll have a kick ass sequel worthy of following up the first film.
Head over to Deadline Hollywood to get the extremely unbiased story (sarcasm built-in).
‘Museum’ sequel all the way to 11!
Anyone remember that film that made a ton of money with Ben Stiller? No, not that one, and not that one either. I’m talking about ‘Night at the Museum’, a cute little film that made a ton of money at the BO a few years ago. Well, leave it to the studios not to turn down some quick cash. The newest addition to the cast is the famous Christopher Guest (Spinal Tap) who will be playing Ivan the Terrible in the sequel to the adventure film that pitted lowly night guard, Stiller, against an entire museum that comes to life at night.

300 Squared???
Geeks of the world, unite! I’ll admit it. I liked the 300. It was an entertaining popcorn flick that made the audience feel like going home and breaking something (and putting on loincloth and rampaging through your local venues). Well, it seems that Hollywood liked it too and we’re about to get another one. How is this going to work? You’ve got me. The ending to 300 was pretty much it. I don’t see how the story is going to continue.
That looks like one of the dumbest movies of all time!! That trailer puts it in at... - 
I must admit I’m not to sure about this casting bit, Downey seems... - 
Wow. I’m digging it. Fucking love PA movies -
