Update on The Stepfather
As I said - it’s either sequels or remakes. Once in a while an original concept reaches the audience but these days it’s all about handing us familiar characters in new situations. Or new actors, trying to squeeze something new out of a well known situation. A couple of months ago I posted about the remake of 1987 [...]
Update on Night at the Museum 2
This week it’s sequel bonanza here at Moviemind News. Well, to be honest, it’s always sequel bonanza here – and in Hollywood. As soon as I put down my pen (methaphorically, there is no pen involved in my posting) news about another sequel hits the ol’ grapevine. Without further ado, I bring you the news: [...]
Statham will reprise his role in Transporter 3
The Transporter movies have always had a special place in my heart. Especially the first one “The Transporter” (2002). Pure action with excellent choreography. Jason Statham really works as Frank Martin, transporter of illegal goods. The sequel, “Transporter 2” was also quality action but didn’t really do it for me. Now Variety reports that Statham will [...]

Cameron gives an update on Avatar
Almost one year ago, give or take a few days, I posted about James Cameron’s enormous movie project “Avatar“. Back then the movie just had a name and a release date. But we were all excited, giggling like schoolgirls just thinking about Cameron directing a sci-fi movie with a budget that would fit 4 “normal” movies… [...]
The Golden Compass has no sequel in sight
Many of you, probably most of you, seen the adaptation of Philip Pullman’s ”The Golden Compass“. And here is problem. The movie adaptation of the first part of the trilogy is… ok. But the whole trilogy should be experienced before passing judgement. And as always – the books are better. Some critics even compare Pullmans’s trilogy to Tolkien’s “The Lord [...]
Owen Wilson is filming again
I bring you good news today folks. I can’t give you another sequel, like yesterday, but I can give you some very reassuring news on one of the best comedic actors out there. Of course I’m talking about Owen Wilson. He had a tough time last summer and he gave the whole world a real shock [...]
Cliffhanger sequel in talks again
I’ve always been a sucker for sequels. Even though I know it’s a very cheap and unimaginative trick to lure us back to the movies I can’t help but to smile when I hear rumors about a sequel. Especially when it’s sequels to movies made in the 80′s and early 90′s. The golden years… That’s when most of my [...]
