30 Upcoming Sequels
http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/1341...now_about.html
Not really sure how they are going to have a Crank sequel, or a I am legend sequel for that matter.
The Brazilian Job: the follow up to Paramount’s US remake of The Italian Job is still on the cards, and it’s got a 2009 release date marked. Jason Statham, Mos Def, Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron are attached, as is director F Gary Gray.
I, Robot 2: All we know on this one is that it’s in the scripting stages still, with a potential 2010 release date planned in. No news on Mr Smith's involvement.
I Am Legend 2: Warner’s huge Christmas 2007 hit could also have a follow up, although it’d be interesting to see if Will Smith returned to it. A 2010 release date is also being mooted for this one.
Beverly Hills Cop 4: If Die Hard can still do it at the box office, why can’t Axel Foley? Er, because the third BHC movie was crap, and a flop. Still, it’s not stopped development work going ahead on number four. No further news than that, though.
National Treasure 3: Not a huge surprise, but as the Nic Cage Indiana Jones knock off franchise has proved to be quite a juggernaut, you’ll only have to wait until 2011 for the third film in the series.
Cars 2: We spotted this on AintItCool – is Pixar really looking to make a sequel to its weakest film? Apparently so…
Toy Story 3: This one, after lots of umming and ahhing, appears to be a goer. It won’t, as was speculated, be a straight-to-DVD affair, and Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are both expected back on voicing duties. It’ll be out in 2010.
Jeepers Creepers 3: MGM is running the rule over a potential third instalment in the horror franchise, with director Victor Salva still attached. Hmmm.
Shrek 5: The fourth film was a no-brainer after the tepid third outing made so much cash. But a fifth instalment has also been confirmed. No wonder Shrek is the same colour as an American dollar…
Night at the Museum 2: Ben Stiller is returning for his most commercially successful role outside of the Meet the Parents franchise. We can wait. No news on the proposed Meet The Little Focker, though.
Crank 2: High Voltage: This is more like it. Crank is a guilty pleasure right up there with Snakes on a Plane, and it’s coming back for more. Shooting starts next month, for a 2009 release, and Jason Statham returns as Chev Chelios. As he should.
Transporter 3: Statham again. He’s making this too, and it’s in pre-production. Presumably, he’ll go from Crank 2 straight onto this.
Super Troopers 2: A sequel nobody asked for! Hurray! Expect it in 2010, as it’s in the early writing stages still, we believe.
Silent Hill 2: Sony is looking at a follow up to the crap-but-popular video game adaptation. 2010 is the current slated release date.
The Descent 2: We understand that Neil Marshall won’t be directed this one, which has the, er, working title of The De2cent. He’s attached as Executive Producer, with Jon Harris stepping behind the camera (he edited the first film, as well as the more recent Stardust).
The Grudge 3: Yup, it’s in pre-production now, for release next year. That’ll likely be the scariest thing about it.
Ice Age 3: 1st July 2009. That’s the date you’ll need to avoid if you want to miss the next Ice Age movie. Hopefully it’ll be better than the second one…
Ghost Rider 2: A surprise hit last year, Marvel is developing a follow-up to the Nic Cage comic book flick, and tentatively has 2009 marked for release. No director is thus far attached.
The Untouchables: Capone Rising: A prequel to Brian De Palma’s cracking prohibition thriller of, er, twenty years ago. De Palma is back behind the camera, and the project is in the pre-production stages now.
The Thomas Crown Affair 2: Weird, this. It’s taken them ages to do a sequel, and then they draft in Paul Verhoeven to direct a follow-up to someone else’s film. Pierce Brosnan returns, and filming starts shortly.
The People Under The Stairs 2: No sign of any Wes Craven involvement, though, and release may even be this year. Hmmm. We'd wager DVD will be its home.
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor: Er, that’s what they’ve called The Mummy 3, which is out on 1st August. Brendan Fraser and Jet Li star.
Punisher: War Zone: Ray Stevenson becomes the third person to play The Punisher on screen. You’ll be able to find out how he did on 12th September this year.
Starship Troopers 3: Marauder: Casper Van Diem is back, but it’s still going straight to DVD, as the piss-awful second film did. It’s due out later this year.
Pink Panther 2: Oh dear. And I’m a Steve Martin fan. It’s out on 13th February 2009.
Ace Ventura 3: No Jim Carrey though, and no chance of it seeing the inside of a cinema. Head to Blockbuster later in the year if you want to catch it.
War 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.
Jurassic Park 4: It’s taken them ages to sort this out, but the latest is that Laura Dern is still attached, and that it’ll be released in 2009. Don’t hold your breath though, as shooting would need to start really very soon...
Scary Movie 5/Saw 5: You could have guessed at these if you didn’t know about them already. Both should see the light before the end of the year. Sadly.
I, Robot 2: All we know on this one is that it’s in the scripting stages still, with a potential 2010 release date planned in. No news on Mr Smith's involvement.
I Am Legend 2: Warner’s huge Christmas 2007 hit could also have a follow up, although it’d be interesting to see if Will Smith returned to it. A 2010 release date is also being mooted for this one.

This list sucks and is highly outdated.
Final Destination 4, which is not listed on here -- but slated for an early 2009 release, sounds like it could be the greatest sequel ever made based on the set reports and the crew involved.
The Grudge 3 will be a direct-to-video event that's already in post-production for a Halloween release. Can't beat a sequel featuring Judd Nelson.
Transporter 3 is being released by Lionsgate in November with Crank 2 coming out sometime early next year.
Some of those movies listed, such as The Untouchables prequel, have been DOA for a while now. Others are already in production or post.

That War of the Worlds sequel is to the "original" C. Thomas Howell sci-fi channel quality shitfest version of War of the Worlds... hence, why he is starring in it.

Spoiler:
I wish I were kidding. I liked the first one, but this seems to be a bit too much. I'll try my best to reserve judgment though.

My thoughts...
-Brazilian Job - anticipating this, I really enjoyed the Italian Job. Disappointed it's taken this long, since this has been talked about for awhile.
-I, Robot 2 - I enjoyed the first. I think i'd only be interested if Smith was back.
-I Am Legend 2 - The first was OK, but I don't really care to see the story extended.
-Beverly Hills Cop 4 - Don't care.
-National Treasure 3 - I'm down. I had fun with both of the previous ones.
-Cars 2 - I thought Cars was underrated, but I don't think this one makes sense for a sequel.
-Toy Story 3 - With everyone back, hell yeah.
-Jeepers Creepers 3 - Never saw the others.
-Shrek 5 - Didn't even know the 4th film was ready to go. I think the series has gotten weaker as it's gone on, but I enjoy all the characters enough to watch.
-Night at the Museum 2 - Never saw the first. Heard it was entertaining though.
-Crank 2: High Voltage - I'm down. Loved the first.
-Transporter 3 - A rental, but interested.
-Super Troopers 2 - Love the first movie. After a bunch of other weak outings from Broken Lizard, Beerfest was fun and I hope this brings them back all the way.
-Silent Hill 2 - Not interested, didn't watch the first.
-The Descent 2 - First was OK, but thought it was overated. Pass.
-The Grudge 3 - Not interested.
-Ice Age 3 - Never got around to watching the 2nd.
-Ghost Rider 2 - Pass, the first one was terrible and this is from someone that enjoyed Daredevil and Punisher.
-The Untouchables: Capone Rising - Been meaning to watch the original, but haven't yet.
-The Thomas Crown Affair 2 - Pass.
-The People Under The Stairs 2 - Never heard of it. Pass.
-The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - I'm down. First two were fun.
-Punisher: War Zone - I don't like that Thomas Jane is gone. I'll wait and see.
-Starship Troopers 3: Marauder - Never bothered watching the 2nd. Pass.
-Pink Panther 2 - Pass
-Ace Ventura 3 - No Carrey, Pass.
-War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave - Pass
-Jurassic Park 4 - Mildly interested depending on the plot.
-Scary Movie 5/Saw 5 - Scary Movie no. Saw 5 yes. Even though #4 wasn't the best, I still dig the series and the story.

I love I, Robot, but a sequel? Doesn't sound too hot to me.

Where's The Dark Knight (they included The Mummy 3 which comes out only a month later)? Fast and Furious? Some of those may never happen...

I'm not saying it was a quality product... just saying that a lot of people enjoyed the movie. I can't see why it's wrong for people to have a good time at the movies just because you had a different opinion.

Where does everyone go for movie rumors?
I used to go to a place called Corona, But then that became Cineheck (at Cinescape?). And it hasn't been as good or as updated.

The Untouchables prequel could be good. Bev. Hills Cop 4 will only get my attention once I see the official rating. Jurassic Park 4 will only get my attention once I see the run time.
I know I could make a list of 30 sequels I would rather see than any of these.
Sequels I would like to see:
Blade 4 (It would be nice to have the franchise end on a good note.)
Washngton (Sequel to Dogville and Manderlay)
South Park 2
Gremlins 3
Simon Grim (sequel to Henry Fool and Fay Grim)
Bad Boys III
Super Mario Bros: The Movie Part 2 (I already know I'm in the minority on this one.)

Gremlins is far superior to Gremlins 2. I would only see a Gremlins 3 if it were more reminiscent of the first movie. I could definitely go for a Blade 4. Anything South Park, and I'm there. Bad Boys II is one of times where I actually liked the sequel more than the first, so a third would be no problem. And no offense, but lol @ Super Mario Bros. Movie 2.
But since we are on the subject of what we would rather see (other than the ones you already mentioned)...
-Phone Booth: I really enjoyed the first one, and would like to see it back in some capacity, so long as Kiefer and/or Colin made a return
-The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy: To continue with the Hitchhiker's series, so long as the original cast returns
-Snakes On A Plane: It did suck, but it was awesome
-The Goonies: Call me crazy, but I always wanted a sequel where the gang had a reunion and had to save someone or find another treasure or something
-Shoot 'Em Up: I haven't enjoyed one of these types of films so much in a long time, and if they could keep the stunts different, then I'd be all over it

The ones I'd see:
Final Destination 4 - All 3 are terrific fun, so I'll definitely see this. Any truth to the rumor that it will be 3-D? If so, I'm getting a chubby.
The Brazilian Job - Liked the first one, so I'm moderately anticipating this.
Beverly Hills Cop 4 - Sure, why not? And I still think III was worlds better than II.
National Treasure 3 - Haven't seen the 2nd one yet, it's in my BB queue, but I enjoyed the first.
Transporter 3 - Mindless action. Sweet. I'm there.
The Descent 2 - Interesting. I really liked the first one.
Jurassic Park 4 - FRIGGIN A. Loved the first, and totally enjoyed 2 & 3. No kids this time, please.
