Oh dear, so many. Let out of this list;

Amazing Spiderman 2 (I'm a Marvel Girl)

Bad Santa 2

Beverly Hills Cop 4 (I stopped eating read meat after watching
the first one.)

Bill & Ted 3 (this sequel will freak me out)

Chronicles of Riddick 3 (Two words--Vin Diesel)

Cloverfield 2 (I thought this was original idea)

The bigger question is, are any of these going to be as good as they hype?

Scott, what is your opinion about attempting to write a sequel? Since only one studio/production exec typically owns the rights, is it even worth writing on spec? Or would the proper track be to somehow get a pitch meeting set up?

This sequel thing - wow. It used to be kind of amusing, then it become sort of tragic, and now it's back to funny again. And what's really nuts - - when the studios run out of creative ways to bastardize the original's title for the oh-so-holy "name recognition" ("Chip-wrecked?!" Really..?!), they just do a reboot and start the lunatic cycle all over again, a la "The Fast and the Furious" and "Final Destination."

Soon, when the multiplexes are loaded with nothing but sequels, nobody will even remember the root movie anymore. It's almost like a strange calculus problem - limits, functions, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series.

AVATAR 2 & 3 top my list. I love that James Cameron is at the forefront of keeping the movie theatre experience amazing (48 frames per second, better 3D).

I'm also looking forward to GHOSTBUSTERS 3 and BEVERLY HILLS COP 4. Will the Rated-R Eddie Murphy please stand up? We miss you!

I think what we're seeing is the tv-ization of movies.

It's hard to start relationships with new characters that only exist for 90 minutes and never come back. TV has shown us that there are some incredibly good stories to tell in an episodic way and viewers will keep coming back to see characters/situations that interest them.

Movies are jumping on this in a big way. Movies with sequels (or with sequels in mind) are just longer, more expensive episodes/seasons of tv.

TV is taking note. Look at Game of Thrones. It's like a movie but on TV and extended then cut up (unlike say, Mad Men which is far more episodic). Look at the proposed format for The Dark Tower. These once divergent and disparate mediums are converging. Movies are becoming more like TV, TV is becoming more like movies.

I think it's interesting and will inevitably lead to a far more open market for writers. We want to know what happens to these characters. I don't think we're going to care if the stories are told on the big screen, the small screen or on the internet. Once we've invested ourselves in the character, we just want to keep hanging out with them.
