Buzz In: Which Movies Could Have Good Sequels?
There's been talk of an Anchorman sequel for some time, and now according to Will Ferrell, they're starting to have more concrete discussions about what this second Anchorman would entail. Many of you said in the past that you'd welcome a sequel about Ron Burgundy, and I think I would, too.
More often than not, news of sequels only causes widespread groaning, since we all know most sequels can't even come close to being as good as the first film.
A Fourth American Pie May Be Coming to Theaters
More sequels, you say? Yes! Instead of continuing the direct-to-DVD American Pies, Universal is apparently planning a fourth American Pie for theatrical release.
Tobey Maguire, Sam Raimi Ready For Two Spidey Sequels
Get ready for Spider-Man to weave his blockbuster web at least two more times. The talk of more Spidey sequels started right after Spider-Man 3's big opening weekend last Summer, and now there's news that Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire are about to commit to two more films.
Though The Dark Knight broke Spider-Man's box office records this Summer, the Hollywood Reporter notes that Spider-Man is still the most profitable movie franchise for Sony, with the first three films combining for a total of $2.5 billion worldwide.
Which Is Better: A Remake or a Sequel?
In a recent interview, Natalie Portman pooh-poohed the idea of making movie sequels — in particular she never wants to do a sequel to The Professional. Remakes, on the other hand, appear to be a different thing according to Natalie, as she is currently filming Brothers, a remake of the Danish movie Brødre.
Her point was basically that if a movie is good enough as it is, there's no need to make a sequel.
What's the Most Unnecessary Sequel of 2007?
Today I caught the trailer for Step Up 2 the Streets, the sequel to Step Up that will not include Channing Tatum. Also, at a recent movie screening I watched the trailer for the next National Treasure movie.
I'm seriously not convinced that either of these sequels needed to be made, and it got me thinking about all the unnecessary sequels that have spilled onto the movie scene this year.
Sequels, Part 2
Sigh. I can rant all I want, it looks like sequels are still where it's at these days. There was the recent rumor about a possible Austin Powers 4, then there was news of a Wall Street 2, and now the sequel party rages on:
- The Terminator series will continue with Terminator 4 for which they have a script but no director in place.

Are You Excited For Another Vacation Sequel?
Hollywood may be taking a Couples Retreat this Friday, but we all know that Chevy Chase and National Lampoon put trip-themed films on the map with the Vacation series.
Now the Griswolds are back for another sequel, but this time Clark's son Rusty will be the dad commandeering the adventure. Ethan Embry played Rusty in the most recent Vegas Vacation, but a variety have actors have played the kids over the years and I'm sure we'll get a new pair this time.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Sequel Confirmed
If it's bad, it'll just be drawn that way: '80s animated/live action classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is getting a sequel, 21 years after its release.
The film's director, Bob Zemeckis, has confirmed that a Roger Rabbit sequel is moving forward, and the original screenwriters are working on a script.
A Mamma Mia Sequel: Brilliant or Baffling?
Could Meryl Streep, Coiln Firth, and Pierce Brosnan be warming up their vocal cords for a Mamma Mia sequel? That's what recent quotes from stars of last Summer's hit makes it sound like. Amanda Seyfried said the very nebulous, "I've been talking to some insiders and it's not something that they haven't been working on."
