There’s so much in this edition of Sequel Bits it’s insane. Let’s get going. After the jump read about the following:
David Fincherhasn’t fully committed to a project after releasing last year’sThe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Rumor was20,000 Leagues Under The Seawould be next but as he’s working on the Netflix showHouse of Cards, he still seems to be considering theDragon TattoosequelThe Girl Who Played With Fire. In an interview withThe Art of the Title(viaThe Playlist) he said the following:
At Comic-Con,Guillermo Del Torosaid that based on the success ofRon Perlman’s Make-A-Wish Hellboy appearance, he’d soon start looking for funding forHellboy 3. However, star Ron Perlman said that’s as much as he knows at the moment. Here’s his quote fromMTV.
The only thing that I heard was when I was sitting next to him, when he spontaneously made the announcement that he was going to start actively searching for the funding for the film. And he’s been very busy in post-production since Comic-Con. I haven’t seen or spoken to him, so I only know as much as you guys. If I have a scoop, I’ll give you a call!
Paranormal Activity 4is fast approaching and Paramount has released a new image from the October 19 film. It featuresKathryn Newtonas a teen girl who lives next door to a very, very screwed up family. Seems she has a visitor.
Legendary producerFrank Marshalldid an interview withIFCdiscussing the intricacies ofThe Bourne Legacyso, if you were at all confused about what’s going on behind the scenes, it’s a must-read. He also said that further films – if they happen – would continue to expand the universe but that it’s not clear if it’ll be focused onMatt Damon’s Jason Bourne,Jeremy Renner’s Aaron Cross or someone else:
We don’t know at this point if we’ll continue to focus on [Jason Bourne or Aaron Cross], or just get this world right so we can go in any direction. All possibilities are open.
Kick-Ass 2is shooting very soon but casting is still happening.Andy Nymanposted onhis website(viaSuperhero Hype) that he’ll appear as one of Red Mist’s henchman, named The Tumor.

The Film Stagepointed out the above tweet by NBA superstarLeBron James, expressing an interested in shooing a sequel toSpace Jam. The recent NBA Champion, MVP and Gold Medalist is one of the few international superstars on par with Michael Jordan and though there’s no sequel toSpace Jamin the works, James has been trying to doa little more actingand his desire to make this movie might light a fire under the executives at Warner Bros. I know I’d love to see it. MJ could cameo, it would be awesome.
