Sequel Bits: ‘Star Trek 2’ Set Video, Mike Tyson Confirmed For ‘Hangover 3’ Plus ‘21 Jump Street 2’,' ‘Hellboy 3’ And ‘Green Lantern 2’
One sequel that’s currently filming, two that are almost certain to happen and two that may never happen are all part of today’s Sequel Bits. After the jump, check out:
Photos from the top secret set ofJ.J. Abrams’Star Trek 2have hit the internet over the last week and, unsurprisingly, someone shot video of the same scene. It featuresZachary Quintoas Spock fightingBenedict Cumberbatchplaying the film’s primary villain. The video is courtesy ofFilm Is Now Extra(viaCollider) which is apparently a veryExtra/Enterainment Tonightshow. So there’s voice over, hosts, the whole deal.
It does cover a few minutes of the scene so I’d consider thisspoilers.
After the uber-success of the previous two parts,The Hangover Part IIIis certainly in the near future. The film is rumored to have aMay 2013 releaseand evenBradley Cooper, during the pre-show for the Oscars, mentioned he was getting ready to go back to the series. (Though Ed Helmsdoesn’t know whenthat’ll happen). NowMike Tysonhas confirmed he’ll be back for what everyone expects will be the third, and final, part ofTodd Phillips' trilogy. The news came out during a radio interview Tyson did with Dan Patrick of ESPN (Thanks toComing Soonfor the heads up).
Though21 Jump Streethasn’t opened yet (it’ll have its official coming out party at South by Southwest in the next few weeks) Sony is incredibly confident in the film, starringJonah HillandChanning Tatum. They showed it to press months early (spoiler – it’s really, really good) and at the Oscars, Hill told E! that he’s already writing the sequel:
We are writing the sequel now. We got [the greenlight] by the studio to start writing the sequel.
Thanks toBleeding Coolfor the heads up.
Shock Till You Dropran a video ofRon Perlmandousing fan hopes they’ll ever get to seeHellboy 3. you may head to the site to see the whole thing, but here is the most important bit:
And finally, more news of a sequel that will likely never see its brightest day. In Superhero Bits today we ran aIGN interviewwithRyan Reynoldsthat primarily discussedDeadpool.In the middle of that chat, he said the following pessimistic thing aboutGreen Lantern 2:
I have no idea [if Green Lantern 2 will happen]. Those movies have huge scale budgets and those kinds of things. Working in budget world like that is not fun, because you have a lot of investment and outcome. But if we end up doing a ‘Deadpool’ movie that could be a lot of fun.
What do you think about these sequel bits?
