Prequels, Sequels & Remakes

Columbia Pictures has hired Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a new Ghostbusters movie.

Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi will be return to for Spider-Man 4 using Jamie Vanderbilt's script. Nothing concrete Kirsten Dunst or the new villain.

Kevin Eastman on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: "Although the CGI film did well enough to warrent a sequel, there has been much talk between Imagi and Warners to do a better "re-invention" (newest Hollywood buzzword) of the TMNT's, in a live action film--like what was done with Batman. Back to basics, back to the origin and the intro of the Shredder, etc...there have been talks, trips to Northampton to talk to Mr Laird, and discussions with the original "first" TMNT film director Steve Barron to come back and do it right--but no official word yet...will keep you posted."

Aaron Eckhart on Harvey Dent showing up again in Batman: "I asked Chris if there was a chance of coming back. 'No way,' he said. 'He's toast.'"

Nicholas Cage on a Ghost Rider sequel: “There have been talks and good ones with where to go with the character. It looks like it will take place in Europe and the character will work with the [Catholic] Church. It’ll be a completely new experience. It’s exciting.” … “It hasn’t progressed to [who the next villain will be] yet to be able to say, but I do know it will be shot in Europe and there will be some sort of connection working with different religious figures.”

Also on National Treasure 3: “There’s been talk about doing it in the South, maybe in New Orleans.”
