Roland Emmerich Is Already Working On A 2012 Sequel Fair enough. But I Lots Of Love the fact that he is actually calling it 2013. Smart. The Mayans up in Mayan Heaven are like, uh, what?

They Made A Sequel To Waiting Called Still Waiting. For Real.

Oh man. I've taken a lot of shit from friends for owning the very slight cult classic stoner comedy Waiting, but even I will not be watching or buying the direct-to-DVD sequel, Still Waiting. "When the old Shenaniganz crew opens up a Ta Tas next door, Shenaniganz takes it where it hurts.":

Huge stars Anna Faris, Justin Long, and Ryan Reynolds are conspicuously absent, but don't worry, Andy Milonakis is still there! And just a note to Adam Carolla: when you're the "celebrity cameo" replacement for Dane Cook in the direct-to-dvd sequel to a movie whose plot centers around a testicle-showing contest among restaurant employees, it's time to fire your agent.

Let's Get Pumped About Donnie Darko 2! JK!

There's now a teaser trailer for the Donnie Darko unauthorizedish "sequel," which is going direct to DVD in April, as it probably should:

If this teaser could speak to us, it would say:

"Remember the sister? No, not Maggie Gyllenhaal, the little sister. The one in Sparkle Motion. See, there she is, dancing with the rest of Sparkle Motion in her silver leotard. Remember when the chandelier collapsed? Remember the bunny? Remember that the first movie became a cult classic, but not in theaters, but on DVD? Remember that we want some money? Okay, that should be enough. Let's break for lunch. Good job, guys."

Let's Hope The Top Gun Sequel Idea Crashes And Burns

thumbnail: Let's Hope The Top Gun Sequel Idea Crashes And Burns

Someone's ego's writing checks his fan base can't cash if (big if) Tom Cruise really thinks anyone wants a Top Gun sequel. From The Sun via Golden Fiddle:

An insider said: "The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor -- and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot."

Put this idea to bed or lose me forever. Top Gun is a perfect movie on its own and cannot be improved upon. But I would like to predict that the cocky new female pilot is the grown-up daughter of Goose and Carol, and that at some point Maverick will say "I flew with your old man. He was the best." And she will be played by Katie Holmes. Ugh. That is so what that script is, and it sucks.

Why Can't The Donnie Darko Sequel Be About Patrick Swayze? Or Smurfs?

thumbnail: Why Can't The Donnie Darko Sequel Be About Patrick Swayze? Or Smurfs?

S. Darko, a sequel to the kinda good but overrated 2001 cult movie Donnie Darko starts filming next week, without the participation of original writer/director Richard Kelly. And fans are overreacting accordingly with a useless petition to stop production. The sequel stars original Darko sister Daviegh Chase and Ed Westwick, who plays Chuck on Gossip Girl. Plot synopsis:

The story picks up seven years after the first film when little sister Samantha Darko and her best friend Corey are now 18 and on a roadtrip to Los Angeles when they are plagued by bizarre visions.

That sounds really boring! In fact, looking over the cast list, almost any other character in the original, from Cherita Chen to "Man In Red Jogging Suit" would make for better spinoffs. After the jump, the two best scenes from Donnie Darko, and why they should base the sequel on them.
