Remember the scene in Michael Bay‘s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen where Sam is drawing symbols all over the walls of his dorm room? Yeah, we’ve tried to forget about it too. What you might not have noticed is that Sam writes the number 3 on a poster for the other Michael Bay sequel, Bad Boys II. Now we’ve learned that the studio is moving forward with development on a third film, but will the original crew return for one more adventure?

Alcon Entertainment is developing a film titled Back to Africa for Martin Lawrence. You might be wondering why we’re even running a story about a possible Martin Lawrence film, stick with me for a second. According to Variety, Lawrence would play a “working-class man” from Queens New York who discovers that he is the heir to the throne of an African country and tavels there to claim his birthright.
So basically it’s an unofficial sequel to Coming To America told in reverse. Even the title, Back to Africa, sounds like a play off the original John Landis film which starred Eddie Murphy. The storyline is the complete mirrored opposite, so there is obviously no copyright infringement or issues of that nature. But the whole concept just seeems… wrong.

Let the fanboy email inquiries cease: The latest “momma of all comedies” is plopped for a 2009 release. Over the weekend, IESB spoke to producer, David T. Friendly, who confirmed that the second sequel in the hit Martin Lawrence undercover fat-suit franchise, Big Momma’s House 3, is currently in the scripting stage and on the fast track/conveyor belt after originally being due this year.
No word if Paul Giamatti will reprise his role from the first film. Ever. Combined, the first two entries grossed $190 million domestically.
Discuss: Possible (permanent) endings for the sequel and franchise.
I don’t understand how so many people are duped into paying for a movie like Wild Hogs. Every month a new stinker hits theaters, and it makes tons of money. Wild Hogs made nearly $38 million in it’s first weekend. How?
Anyway, I just got word that director Walt Becker is considering a possible sequel. How can this happen? Can we start a petition to stop this madness? Wild Hogs 2 MUST be stopped.
luckily Becker has his plate full. His upcoming projects including Runt and Old Dogs. I have an idea: How about a good movie?
Nah, that would be too hard.
