Prequels, Sequels & Remakes

Brad Fuller on the Rosemary’s Baby remake: "There are two or three competing writers who we are talking to. If you would say that Rosemary's Baby is a ... supernatural story, ... one of our takes is supernatural. And then there's another that's not supernatural, that kind of takes that story and roots it in reality. And that's a decision we are going to have to make as soon as we wrap [Friday the 13th] and go back to L.A. and start sitting down with Paramount: ... What kind of story do they want us to tell for them, and what's the smartest way to tell that story? So I don't know if it's going to be supernatural. It might, it might not be, and it might be called Rosemary's Baby and it might not be, but at least ... Paramount was gracious enough to give us the jumping-off point of taking a classic film and seeing what we can do with it."

ICON will be distributing Transporter 3 in Australia and the UK.

Executive Producer Roberto Orci says about a Star Trek XII: “I can give you a spoiler about the Studio’s state of mind (not about the movie itself). The spoiler is that they already want to lock us down to write the sequel. Take that as you will.”

According to Hayden Christensen there’s talks for a Jumper sequel.

After Terrance Howard said that filming Iron Man 2 would begin March 2009, and Marvel says it’ll be out in 2010, John Favreau post this on his MySpace page: “It’s been five weeks since the one and only phone call my reps have gotten from Marvel. I know their hands are full with the Hulk and I’m sure they will get into it shortly, as they tell me they intend to. I ran into the Marvel guys at the Hulk premiere and everyone sounded eager to get to work on IM2.
“I am concerned, however, about the announced release date of April 2010. Neither Robert [Downey Jr.] nor I were consulted about this and we are both concerned about how realistic the date is in light of the fact that we have no script, story or even writers hired yet. This genre of movie is best when it is done thoughtfully and with plenty of preparation. It might be better to follow the BB/DK, X/X2 three year release pattern than to scramble for a date. It is difficult because there are no Marvel 09 releases and they need product, but I also think we owe it to the fans to have a great version of IM2 and, at this point, we would have less time to make it than the first one."
