The Japanese get everything cool first. Example? This ad for the Matrix sequels. I think this will show here during the Super Bowl, but I'm not sure. They're going to be total bastards and play the trailer for the third movie right after the cliffhanger ending of the second. It is a good way to get you wanting more, though....

Too many damn sequels. Too many. Rar! Stop now. Most movies don't need sequels. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.

Sorry. Just saw plans for a movie that should not have sequels.

I know about American Pie 3... Not Hot Chick 2? Nine Crazy Nights? Mr. Deeds Goes to Africa?

No, no. You're going down the wrong line of thought. Think perfectly excellent movie. Think of movies that will never need a sequel but are going to get them anyway.

(Though going the route you were looking before, there are Blair Witch 3 and Highlander 5 in the making.)

Gone With the Wind... again?

The Shawshankier Redemption?
Braverheart?
Schindler's Double-linked List?

So not "Legally Blonde 2", then.

Or "Seriously, Dude, Where's My Car?"

Or the long-rumored "Bill & Ted 3"

Or the nearly mythical "Indiana Jones 4"

"King Conan"

Hmm ...

"Mission: Impossible 3"

"Rambo 4"

"Ocean's 12" (Or did they settle on "Ocean's Dozen"?)

"Beetledeuce"

"Blade Runner 2"

"Cube 2: Hypertime"

"Escape From Earth"

"Fully Monty 2"

"Ghostbusters 3: Hellbent"

"Heathers 2"

"The Holy Road" ("Dances With Wolves" 2)

"Jumanji 2"

"More Trouble In Little China"

"The Mask 2: Son of the Mask"

"Rocky VI"

"Roger Rabbit 2"

"Shrek 2"

"Willow 2"

The good news is: Most of these titles are Dead, Dead, Dead. The bad news is that they were ALL actually considered. At least one of 'em was filmed.

About half of them aren't all that dead.

Cube 2: Hypertime was filmed.

Mission Impossible 3, Rocky VI, Ocean's 12 (not that they've decided on a title at all), Indy 4 and King Conan all still have life and are in various stages of pre-production.

I'm ignoring the rumors about Beetlejuice 2.
