Studios deny everything, but for any sequel you can guess at, there's been a boardroom going, "So how soon can we get this out?" There are tons of scripts sold every week, some are remakes, sequels, adaptations of books that haven't been published yet, and many totally unbelievable ideas. A large number of these never get made, or not soon anyway, but at some point someone did fully intend to make them. Fans and media don't need to make these things up. There are even DUMBER ideas being considered even as we speak, and they are unspeakable.

All correct. ^^^

But why do sites, like the one linked, play they're game. Most internet sequel gossip is sensationalized.
What can we really make of something like this...

QuoteRambo 5
We shit you not. Lionsgate has taken an option on a further adventure for the most violent OAP on the entire planet. The earliest Den Of Geek can see it getting to the screen is late 2009/early 2010. Who would bet against, in AvP style, Rocky vs Rambo now?

... it might be a movie in the future, but I generally choose to wait for better confirmation. Like who will direct, star, and when does it begin shooting.

Silent Hill 2 - Silent Hill is one of the worst movies of the decade.
I disagree. It wasn't the best movie ever, but it wasn't bad.

Did you play the first game of the series?

QuoteSaw 5: ...should see the light before the end of the year.

I thought they were taking a year long break in between 4 and 5 and shooting 5 and 6 at the same time? 

Say what you will about me, but they could make a new Saw movie every year until the day I die, I'll keep seeing them.

I'm with you JC.  This movie at least had the settings, tension, and basic plot of the video game down.  The execution stumbled in some parts but overall it was an okay movie.  Probably the best video game adaptation to date.  And yes, I know that's not saying much.
Imrahil: Don't care about Riding with Death.

Bob: Turkey.

Action Batch:  Woah, let's all mellow out and rap about this.

Hmm, never played Silent Hill, might've made a difference I guess.

Saw 1 is a modern classic, so basically I feel obligated to keep watching them. Honestly though, I wouldn't be too sorry if Lionsgate stopped making them to focus on other horror films.

What in the hell is up with all of these Jim Carrey-less Jim Carrey sequels?! That's what, 4 now?

QuoteWar of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave: Another straight to DVD sequel, but this one's of note because it's directed by Soul Man/Hitcher star C Thomas Howell. Blimey.

And is this isn't a sequel to the Tom Cruise snore-fest....but for the direct-to-video one Howell made around the same time.

Excuse me that I find this hilarious....

Howell's version made enough for them to put together a sequel.

Cruise's didn't....won't...he followed that with a huge bomb and now he just can't seem to his Hitler Assassination film released....

bratpop

Um... but nobody would make a sequel to War of the Worlds except those idiots who made the DVD/Sci-Fi version. It's not a question of the SPIELBERG version (not TOM CRUISE version) not making enough. I'm sure it made plenty for a boring movie with maybe four good scenes in it.

add this to your list!

QuoteThe Boston Globe reports that supermodel Gisele Bundchen is being considered for the female lead in the fourth "Austin Powers" film. Apparently, Bundchen has already been given the script and her agent will soon meet with star Mike Myers and director Jay Roach.

The 27-year-old supermodel will be following in the footsteps of Elizabeth Hurley, Heather Graham and Beyonce Knowles, who had similar roles in the first three "Austin Powers" films. And while Bundchen is not known for her acting, she previously appeared in "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Taxi."

Last May, Myers spoke about the potential fourth installment in the franchise. "There's one that we had an idea about and the only thing I will say is that it's entirely from Dr. Evil's point of view," he said.

All three films, "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery," "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" and "Austin Powers in Goldmember" have earned over $676 million in worldwide ticket sales, while spending under $110 million on production costs.

Mark Wahlberg was good in the Departed. Plus he executive produces Entourage. In fact his 'new kid' brother is probably the more talented of the two... Band of Brothers is one of the greatest films ever made. Also Saw 2 is another great Donnie Wahlberg film.
