Prequels, Sequels & Remakes



Reportedly, the trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will appear before Star Trek XI.

Warner Brothers and IMAX theaters are in talks to re-release The Dark Knight in January as “a reminder for people” during Oscar season.

Jon Favreau on Iron Man 2 and Avengers.

Harold Ramis on Ghostbusters 3 "yes, columbia is developing a script for GB3 with my year one writing partners, gene stupnitsky and lee eisenberg. judd apatow is co-producing year one and has made several other films for sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. aykroyd, ivan reitman and i are consulting at this point, and according to dan, bill murray is willing to be involved on some level. he did record his dialogue for the new ghostbusters video game, as did danny and i, and ernie hudson. the concept is that the old ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity. not much else to say at this point. everyone is confident a decent script can be written and i guess we'll take it from there."[sic]

Peter Laird on TMNT: ‘'As it stands now, there is no intention of doing another live-action film like the first three, with actors and stuntmen in actual Turtle suits, contrary to what was said by Kevin [Eastman]. We have pretty much decided that the next "TMNT" movie should be what we've been calling a "hybrid" - that is to say, live-action humans and sets combined with very realistic CGI Turtles (and possibly some other CGI characters)."…"Unfortunately, I think [Elias Koteas and Judith Hoag] might be a little too old to play these characters now (even if they wanted to, and I have no idea if they would). However, I think Chris Evans and Sarah Michelle Gellar did wonderful work voicing the Casey and April characters in the recent CGI "TMNT" movie, and I think it would be really cool if we could get them to reprise those roles, but this time "in the flesh." I think that might be the first time something like that has happened."
