Prequels, Sequels & Remakes


The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has gone into development, with Michael Apted directing and Ben Barnes, Liam Neeson, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley, and Eddie Izzard reprising their roles

Michael Bay on Transformers 2, "When you do your first movie, you break the back of it. Now we can have a lot more fun. We can actually make the depth of these characters more fun and a lot more interesting characters. To see actually what you can achieve visually, you never know. When you go into a movie, you never know visually. I think I've got a lot of fun, interesting, funny characters." He uses the word “fun” or “funny” four times. It worries me.

Michael Cuesta’s Tell-Tale Heart will star Josh Lucas and Brian Cox. Josh Lucas will play a single father who gets an organ from a donor who was murdered.

Hank Azaria has been cast in Night at the Museum 2 as pharaoh Kah Mun Rah.

Australian actor Sam Worthington has been cast as Marcus in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.

Eric Bana’s role of Nero in Star Trek XI is pretty much a cameo.

Lynn Collins has been cast as Silver Fox, with Danny Huston as Striker in Wolverine. Also Hugh Jackman has said that the character The Blob will also be in the movie.

Sara Paxton will join the Last House on the Left remake playing Mari Collingwood.

Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton are going to write the Hellraiser remake that should be out next January. I don't know why they're remaking it either.

Minoru Kawasaki will be remaking kiaju flick The X from Outer Space as Guilala's Counter Attack: The Touyaku Summit One-Shot Crisis. Kawasaki has said that it’ll be done with old school rubber suits and no CGI. It opens in Japan in the fall.

Aladygma may be the code name for Cloverfield 2. Or it may be the code name for the supernatural JJ Abrams movie. Or it may be nothing at all.
