Movie Sequels, Prequels, and More - Part 9

Another look at Hollywood's hilarious concept of upcoming movies, meaning that they have run out of ideas and they can only come up with another round of prequels, sequels, and remakes and nothing original.  In this case, we will be looking at all of the video games that are in production to become movies:

  • Beetlejuice 2 - At first, I was a little mad about this, but then I rewatched the original the other day and now I'm actually a little excited.  Michael Keaton was so good in that movie and more Beetlejuice can only lead to more awesome.
  • Beverly Hills Cop 4 - Axel Foley is back 20 years after the third installment of this series.  Why?  Because Hollywood ran out of fresh ideas years ago.
  • Triplets (Twins 2) - Guess who is playing the third person of the triplet?  Did you guess Eddie Murphy?  It appears that both Arnold and Eddie are really struggling for work right now.
  • Army of Darkness 2 - Bruce Campbell reprising his role as the chainsaw wielding badass?  Why the hell not.
  • Top Gun 2 - No.  No, no, no.  I would actually be okay with a remake, but a sequel?  There is no way this ends well.
  • The Legend of Conan - 67 year old Arnold Schwarzenegger will be playing Conan again 30 years after he played the part originally.  This can only in tears.
  • Poltergeist - I really don't know how you remake this movie, but Sam Rockwell will be playing the part of Craig T. Nelson and I do love me Sam Rockwell, so it has that going for it.
  • The Toxic Avenger - A dude falls into a vat of toxic waste and fights crime with his trusty mop.  That was the plot of the original and they are remaking it.  What?!?
  • Batman Reboot - Yup, they are already rebooting this thing and it is set to come out in 2015, the same year as the Batman v. Superman movie.  The only good news is that the guy who wrote The Dark Knight Trilogy is going to write this thing.
"30 years later, a new Conan movie might involve a lot more shirts covering Arnold's body."
