The problem with so many sequels and indeed prequels (or at least IMO), is that they are usually inferior in terms of narrative and artistic nobility to the original concept. The main objective in creating these sequel/prequel is to ride on the coattails of a well known brand & milk it to its inevitable death.

Titanic 2 - Jack Returns From The Bottom Of The Ocean, Rose is no longer alive but she has daughters who can see Jack as a ghost, lol.
Really?
I thought nemesis was said to be the last one ever.
So any rumours on which characters will be in it ie: next generation/ds9/voyager?
Or will it be a pilot to a new series in the trek franchise?
It's a prequel I think, along the lines of TVs "Enterprise".
Can't see the point in another Terminator without Arnie.
I can.
I'm extremely happy to hear that Arnold isn't going to be in the next one. I like him but I'm pretty sick of him being the good guy in it. Twice was enough for me. Go machines!
A Terminator film without Arnie WILL be crap, Arnie IS the Terminator, and anyone who they get to try and replace him will just end up doing a poor imitation anyway. I don't think they should make it, and this is coming from someone who loved all three of the previous films. T2 is one of my favourite films of all time, so to see them dragging the franchises good name through the mud like this with T4 makes me angry and sad. I swear, if they get 'The Rock' to play a Terminator i'm going to terminate the entire bloody filming crew...
I think The Rock will likely be given a major role in T4.
Is the Beverly Hills cop 4 still on?
I've not heard Eddie Murphy mention it.I always enjoyed those movies even though the sequels were real letdowns.
I believe another Nightmare on Elm Street is in the works for 2009,although if Halloween does well it will likely become a
're-imaging'
There has been talk of another Texas Chainsaw massacre sequel starring dennis hopper (who was in the original's sequel)
The halloween prequel im excited for but i am wont be happy if a nightmare on elm street "re-imaging" is done
Because the first one was great and doesnt need re doing
I think as long as they go with Rob Englund as Freddy and dont replace him,a restart for the NOES franchise is the best way to go.
Most people only recognise the comic,wisecracking Freddy but originally he was actually scary so it would be good to go back to that.
I don't think they should use much from the original in a remake apart from a few key scenes.They could make his intended targets young children instead of annoying teens,remove the comic aspect and make the violence as realistic as possible but have LOTS of gore.
The feelof the movie should be really gritty.I think it could be quite good.
I read recently (can't remember where) that in Terminator 4 Arnie will be in it, but not physically! They were using old footage and blending it into the new film or something like that.
My favourite sequel rumour regards crank 2- that it's happening and Jason Statham's character survived falling several thousand feet at the end of the first one!

Just thought id add some humor to this thread.
Good grief! The third one was bad enough! (liked the first 2 though
Terminator 4 might be interesting. (I'm about the only person on this forum who liked the third one!)
I can.
I'm extremely happy to hear that Arnold isn't going to be in the next one. I like him but I'm pretty sick of him being the good guy in it. Twice was enough for me. Go machines!
I liked the 3rd one too. Especially the un-happy ending which was perfect.
go ash!!!
Wasn't the first one crap?
just as a matter of interest.
another Fast and Furious sequel

Looks like all of these turned out to be correct
Still, nice resurrection of a long dead thread, there. It's a touch dusty, mind.
Release date is december 25th in america, and rumoured to be 26th December in the UK.
