Sequels, Prequels, and More - Part 15

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:

  • Predator Reboot - Another Schwarzenegger classic being remade?  Didn't they prove with the Conan the Barbarian remake that this isn't a good idea?  I like the guy who played the new Conan, Jason Momoa, but there really isn't another actor out there that can fill Arnold's huge shoes and one of the ones who can just signed on to play Aquaman.
  • Pacific Rim 2 - Okay, the first Pacific Rim wasn't bad, but there was a solid hour where giant robots weren't fighting giant monsters.  So, if they are making a sequel, there better be more giant fights.
  • The Mummy Reboot - When was the last time Brendan Fraser got work?  I looked it up and apparently he has been working this whole time, but I still haven't seen him.  As for a Mummy reboot?  No thank you.
  • Boba Fett - It's not official, but there is a Star Wars spin-off series coming out in 2016 that is supposedly the origin story for everybody's unwarrented favorite bounty hunter.  Didn't we already see his origins in the 2nd Star Wars movie?
  • Scouts v. Zombies - I only included this one because Arnold Schwarzenegger's kid will be in it.  Otherwise, I think the title explains the rest of the movie for you.
  • Ghostbusters Reboot - It says it's a reboot but the link also says that the original cast will be starring in it.  How exactly is that a reboot?  I guess the old Ghostbusters will be teaching a new batch of Ghostbusters.  Sure, why not.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - The first one hasn't even come out and they are already making a sequel.  I'm hoping this movie is awesome, but shouldn't you wait until the first one makes some money first before announcing a second one?  I'm just saying.
  • Ride Along 2 - Kevin Hart is funny.  Ice Cube?  Not so much.  Did I see the first Ride Along?  Nope.  Will I see the first Ride Along?  Maybe on HBO.  Same goes for the sequel.
