ACE VENTURA 3 ??? Oh sweet day!

I truly believe Hollywood could make a movie where the world ends and everything is completely destroyed and still make a sequel. Wait a minute ... they are ... Terminator 4. I just found a list of 30 upcoming movie sequels that the Hollywood is secretly working on....because they are ashamed.

Here are a few I'm excited about:
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.

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. I was a sucker for the first one and watch it every time I see it on Showtime.
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.

Here are a few that make no f*cking sense:
Ace Ventura 3: No Jim Carrey though. Anyone remember how that Dumb and Dumber sequel did.

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.

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.
