The voices of John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman will be returning this Thanksgiving to their beloved characters in the Wreck It Ralph sequel, Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2.

According to this extended teaser, this installment seems like like it’ll be hitting some existential notes that should please the more adult audience, perhaps in an Inside Out-sort-of-a-way.

Also, if this teaser’s over two minutes, we can only wonder what Disney has planned for the full trailer.

Coming to America Sequel That Will Be Written by Kenya Barris and Directed by Jonathan Levine Moving Forward at Paramount Pictures

Remakes/reboots/sequels/etc. are still the order of the day it would seem.

One can only hope the talents of Barris and Levine can make this Coming to America sequel live up to the nostalgia of the original Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall blockbuster 30 years later and also be something that can stand on its own comedic merits.

No word on who will be attached to star, but before you start imagining who might be a good pairing, the time period of the sequel, either picking up right where they left off in 80s/90s or, more likely, in modern day 2018 has yet to be announced.

For our money, we’d like maybe see Baron Vaughn involved somewhere in this.

8 years ago, the great Henry Phillips made Punching The Clown, which became a cult comedy about a partially fictionalized version of Henry’s life as a performer.

Look for Punching Henry in theaters and On Demand on February 21st.

Richard Linklater Is Making Sequel to Hal Ashby’s The Last Detail with Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne, and Steve Carell

Amazon Studios will be footing the bill here and, in doing so, is continuing their push to be a prestige studio.

The Last Detail was a dramedic adaptation of Daryl Ponicsan’s novel of the same name by Hal Ashby back in 1973. Ponicsan wrote a follow-up in 2005 called The Last Flag, which is being adapted now by the very capable hands of Richard Linklater with Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne, and Steve Carell in talks to play the roles originally played by Jack Nicholson, Otis Young, and Randy Quaid.

Those sequel fatigue might be more and more palpable for the big screen, Last Flag Flying might be one sequel worth getting on board for.

‘Ghostbusters’ Sequel ‘Will Happen,’ Sony Pictures Distribution Chief Says

Nothing official has been announced, but one can only hope that anyone screaming that there childhood was ruining will get tired of screaming by the time the sequel would supposedly come out.

Steve Agee Has Already Written a Sequel to “Steve Agee’s Weekend Dracula”

January 26, 2016

mark mcconville, paul f tompkins, sequel, steve agee, weekend dracula

Keep in mind that this is all based off a joke on how Steve Agee said goodbye at a party once.

There has been no production of the script for Steve Agee’s Weekend Dracula, which tells the tale of how Steve Agee is a Dracula on the weekends and the weekends only. Yet, Steve Agee has already penned Steve Agee’s Weekend Dracula II.

Again, this all stems from a joke between Steve, Paul F. Tompkins, and Mark McConville and might very well turn into an entire series or feature length script of brilliantly silly comedy if Steve keeps it up.

Read Steve Agee’s Weekend Dracula II here.

Richard Linklater Has Just Finished Shooting What Will Be a Sequel of Sorts to Both “Dazed and Confused” and “Boyhood”

December 30, 2014

boyhood, dazed and confused, richard linklater, sequel, that's what i'm talking about

Richard Linklater, director of Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight, School of Rock, Slacker, and much more, is no stranger to bridging the gap between genres and being conceptual with his films like no one has before.

It might be eye-catching to read that his latest film “That’s What I’m Talking About” will follow up, in different ways, where Dazed and Confused and Boyhood left off, but it certainly shouldn’t come as a total surprise. The film centers around a college freshman balancing college life (i.e. party, party, party) with being on the college baseball team.

While that’s a little vague, Linklater has done plenty with far less of a premise and we wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an “alright, alright, alright”-style line that people endlessly quote from That’s What I’m Talking About.

A Sequel to “Punching The Clown” Is Underway

November 7, 2014

Five years ago, the hilarious Henry Phillips starred in and co-wrote Punching The Clown, a movie that slowly, but surely became a cult hit on Netflix.

Now, in 2014, with Henry having just shot his comedy special, had one of the best web series of all time under his belt, he and, we hope, the rest of the world is ready for a sequel to Punching The Clown.

Our sources tell us that, indeed, the Punching The Clown sequel has just gone into production and Philips just tweeted the picture above this morning, leaving us to only conclude, unlike so many things that are teased on the Internet, that it’s all actually happening.

So, do yourself a favor and get excited for this, especially as we’ll have more details about cast, etc. coming soon.

Zombieland 2 Moves Forward with New Writer

October 2, 2014

While the aftermath of the success of the first Zombieland was circuitous, especially leading up to a sequel, a Zombieland 2 seems to now have the wheels turning since Sony has lined up Dave Callaham as the writer and director Ruben Fleischer to return.

The short lived online series version of Zombieland may have been the wrong move for what could be a great franchise, but if they could get the principal cast (Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson, and Abigail Breslin) all back, then there would be more hope for the sequel to make it to theaters within the next couple of years.

In addition to Ben Stiller’s remarks on the legitimate possibility of a Zoolander sequel 13 years after original, Justin Theroux, who played the evil DJ that is one of Mugatu/Will Ferrell’s henchmen, gave a little more backing to a Zoolander 2 actually happening.

While being interviewed by Vulture for his role in The Leftovers, Theroux commented that there is actual work being done on a script for the sequel and scheduling for everyone that would be involved has been an issue.

Hopefully, we will get to see the progress of The Derek Zoolander School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Want to Do Other Good Stuff Too sometime in the next year or so.

There’s Still a Chance for a Zoolander Sequel

There’s Still a Chance for a Zoolander Sequel

While in a film festival in Sicily, Zoolander star Ben Stiller addressed the possibility of a Zoolander sequel. There’s a script being worked on but, Stiller commented, “I can’t say that it’s actually a reality yet, but I hope some day it is”

Hopefully, Ben will make time in his and Red Hour’s schedule to make this happen.

You might be immediately skeptical just reading this headline, but with the potential return of nearly everyone who worked on the original Goonies, a Goonies 2 could be really great.

The cast, director, and story writer, Steven Spielberg are either currently involved or have expressed interest in a sequel.

Baby Cow Productions Set For Alan Partridge Sequel

Not even having made its way into U.S. theaters yet, Alan Partridge is already set for a sequel from Baby Cow Productions. We just saw Alan Partridge (AKA Alpha Papa) last night and can tell you, as hysterical as that we’re thrilled that a follow up is already in the works.

Seriously, Alan Partridge is damn funny and after you go see it this weekend in limited release, we’re sure you’ll want the sequel to come out ASAP.

Hopefully, this happens ASAP.

It’s hard to say “one of the most beloved franchises” when it comes to film properties at Disney Pixar, but you’ll undoubtedly be excited to know that The Incredibles is finally getting a sequel.

If anything, we want to see Jack Jack grow to his full potential.

Warner Bros Sets ‘Lego Movie’ Sequel For May 2017

The Lego Movie has hit that rare intersection of being family friendly, a box office success, and well received by critics, so it’s expected that news of a sequel would come. Let’s hope that Phil Lord and Chris Miller will still be heavily involved.

So we guest we’ll all have the song Everything Is Awesome stuck in our heads until the sequel three years from now.

‘Zoolander 2’ Could Happen When Ben Stiller Has Time to Do It Justice

‘Zoolander 2’ Could Happen When Ben Stiller Has Time to Do It Justice

A deservingly seminal comedy for many in this generation, Zoolander has stood the test of time in many DVD shelves of twenty and thirty somethings across the country.

Well, it may be time for a sequel when Ben Stiller gets a little more time away from stuff like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Red Hour Films, all the web videos he pops up in, and much more so we can all imitate whatever look Derek Zoolander comes up with next.

We were pleasantly surprised by the 21 Jump Street reboot with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum and have been looking forward to a sequel since we heard news of it going into production.

And now, after all of that, here’s the trailer for 22 Jump Street.

Rob Riggle Joins ‘Dumb and Dumber To’

Honestly, it’s news to us that Rob Riggle wasn’t already part of the Dumb and Dumber sequel. We’re not sure what role he’ll be playing, but we have little doubt that he will have been perfectly cast.

Kathleen Turner Joins ‘Dumb and Dumber To’/’Dumb and Dumber To’ Closer to Happening

Kathleen Turner Joins ‘Dumb and Dumber To’/’Dumb and Dumber To’ Closer to Happening

A sequel to the 1994 buddy comedy “Dumb and Dumber” starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels is really happening sometime next year.

While doing a sequel 20 years later might seem suspicious, we’re sure that will be plenty of great memes and .gifs contrasting Harry and Lloyd with Will McAvoy and Joel Barish, respectively.

There Will Be a Sequel to Steve Coogan’s ‘The Trip’ Sequel

If you’re unfamiliar with Steve Coogan as you’re on this side of the pond, please acquaint yourself with his work, then get excited for this sequel to The Trip that IFC will be distributing, a sort of Before Midnight without any of the relationship drama because they’re too busy making up jokes as they’re driving along.

Whether the latest version of ‘21 Jump Street’ flew under your radar or not, maybe you should keep track of the sequel. We really enjoyed the Jonah Hill/Channing Tatum buddy cop dynamic in the first one and we’ll be looking for a teaser or trailer in the coming months.

So, ‘Finding Dory’ Starring Ellen Degeneres Will Be a Real Thing

So, ‘Finding Dory’ Starring Ellen Degeneres Will Be a Real Thing

It’s been a long time in the works, but the sequel to the beloved ‘Finding Nemo’ is well on its way. With ‘Monsters University’ on the way too and an upcoming ‘Planes’ movie, tangentially related to the ‘Cars’ universe, we were wondering if Disney Pixar is putting original projects/non-sequels on the backburner for now.
