Prequels, Sequels & Remakes


...And reboots, do overs, whatever the kids are calling it these days.


David Ondaatje is set to direct the thriller The Lodger. This’ll be the third adaption of Marie Belloc Lowndes’ book since Hitchcock's 1927 film.

More on Star Trek XI: The Enterprise's first captain, Captain Pike, will be played by Bruce Greenwood. Spock's father will be played by Chariots of Fire's Ben Cross.

The sequel TV movie/maybe pilot to 80's show Knight Rider! Unfortunately David Hasselhoff is still only "in talks" about being cast, but we can always hope.

The Punisher: War Zone (its latest title) will have Dominic West as Jigsaw, and should wrap up filming mid-December.

The Wayans brothers are talking about a theatrical "contemporizing" of 60s comedy show The Munsters. Shawn Wayans says that they won't be starring in it, just writing and producing.

Taurua Entertainment is shopping around the idea of Knightriders 2… *sigh*

"Contemporizing" the Munsters is a dubious prospect on its own. To allow the likes of the Wayans brothers to do such a thing is too horrible to contemplate.
