May 10 2007ALL SEQUELS, ALL THE TIME!
"Quick, somebody beat it!"
If you're a big Hollywood exec, why take a chance on a new project? It's a safer bet to go with something that's already established and then milk that cow till it shits blood.
Here is just some of the sequel news that's floating around:
L.A. Confidential 2
Terminators 4-6
Step Up 2 [Ed. Note: Yeah, I hadn't heard of it either]
Pirates of the Caribbean 4
Fantastic Four 3
Superman 2 (or is it 6?)
Hostel 2
Shrek 4
Sin City 2
Indiana Jones 5
Harry Potter 6
Rambo 4
Lost Boys 2
And I'm sure I missed a few. I didn't even bother with spinoffs and remakes.

And don't forget these gems..
King Kong and the Sound of Music-A musical set in the rural heartland of New Jersey where King Kong struggles to come to terms with his own sexuality while trampling homeless people and small children.
Tuesdays with Jaws-A heart warming tale of self loathing and charming friendship. A sexy new client moved into the building with or many toothed bucket of charm. He has his eyes on her prize and loads of fun is sure to flout to the surface.
Saw VS The Lady Killers-A slippery slop of humour and graphic violece. The well into her 90's woman hires the Jig Saw to help her clean her house, but little does she know that a loveable southern gentlemen and his rag tag group of thuds all wish to clean her house. Who ever wins...the viewer suicides.

In defense of LA Confidential and Sin City, there is plenty of good source material, since there are multiple books already written. It's not like they have to make shit up out of whole cloth for those. that's like bitching about a LOTR sequel...
Though if I recall correctly, "White Jazz" does NOT take place after LA Confidential. the next book was "American Tabloid." And it was brilliant.

I wasn't necessarily saying they were all bad ideas, just that Hollywood loves sequels. I'll probably see any Sin City or L.A. Confidential sequel. But you know what I would bitch about? A LOTR sequel. I can read the books in less time than it takes to watch the movies.

Oh cmon Tuesday with Jaws...every one on this earth would watch a shark swoony a sexy woman. It'd be like if Animal Planet merged with the Spice channel.
