Movies Sequels, Prequels, and More Part 7

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:

  • Devil Wears Prada 2 - Technically, the novel is still being written, but come on, this movie made a ton of money and won a lot of awards, there will be another movie coming shortly.  Oddly enough, I actually liked the first one and will probably see this one, too.
  • Naked Gun Remake - No.  Bad Hollywood!  You cannot remake this movie and get away with it.  The worst part is you know that those idiots who write the [insert genre here] Movie movies will probably write this one, instantly making it terrible.
  • A Time to Kill 2 - Just like The Devil Wears Prada 2, this one is still in the writing stage by author John Grisham.  And just like Prada Devil, it made a ton of money and will be made into a movie.
  • Escape From New York Remake - Okay, I will admit that this one has potential only because the technology is there to make a visually acceptable movie.  Admit it, the graphics in the first movie were terrible.  However, you can only guess that whoever they cast to play Snake Plissken will be a mistake.
  • The Adventures of Tintin 2 - Do we really need another one of these?  The answer is no, but kids will go see it therefore they will make it.
  • Pitch Perfect 2 - Tween girls are stupid and spend their money on stupid movies just like they did on the first movie in this series and that means they have to make another one so that tween girls will then spend more money.  It's a viscous cycle.
  • The Last Symbol - Also known as DaVinci Code 3.  I read this book and it was definitely the worst in the series.  Considering that Angels & Demons was such an awesome book and that movie sucked, this movie will beyond terrible.
  • Finding Nemo 2 - Sure, why not.
  • Bourne 5 - The previous four in the series made a lot of money, even the one without Matt Damon, so a fifth one was inevitably.  However, the fourth one's plot was really dumb, hopefully they get a better script this time.
  • Ted 2 - I was really disappointed when I finally got around to seeing this movie.  It wasn't as funny as I thought it could have been.  But if they bring back Flash Gordon to do more hilarious stuff, maybe it can redeem itself.
"Good news - with a 3rd Robert Langdon movie, we might get to see Tom Hanks and that ridiculous haircut again!"
