With Ridley Scott giving us a Ripley-free Alien movie, it wouldn't be surprising if his new Blade Runner project didn't include Harrison Ford's replicant hunter Deckard. But Harrison Ford may be picking up the blaster for a direct Blade Runner sequel. More »

Apparently one movie isn't enough to contain all the ideas Roland Emmerich has for his follow-up to Independence Day. The director is planning to make two sequel films, and he already has a punny title in mind. More »

We've known for a while that Roland Emmerich is readying a sequel to his White House-exploding alien invasion movie Independence Day. What's taken him so long? He was just waiting for the right president to take the Oval Office. More »

Art from the new Donnie Darko sequel (titled S. Darko) is being time-warped into our faces here at NYCC. The next film follows Donnie's sister. (Remember her on the trampoline, with the sparkle motion?) More »

Crazier-than-hell time-bending delight from Richard Kelly: Donnie Darko's hero has a sister, and she too is plagued by visions and space catastrophes like her spooky big brother. More »

The original version of The Day the Earth Stood Still deliberately left audiences with many questions. Does Klaatu return to Earth? Does humanity prove itself worthy of survival? In 1981, Fox commissioned science fiction author Ray Bradbury to pen a sequel to the film. But Bradbury's script never made it to the silver screen - perhaps because it minimizes the roles of the robot and his alien master, trades Klaatu’s message of peace for a lesson on solar power, and features a Christmas love story.

The sequel to Repo Man starts filming next month, according to Production Weekly. Not only that, but the sequel to the cult classic, Repo Chick, has a female star, and a bit of a serious message about the mortgage foreclosure crisis. More »

Doug Liman proved that he's got a nanotech hide, even though the negative reviews of his two latest projects keep teleporting in. Both Jumper and Knight Rider were panned across the board, but the movie hauled in more than $30 million over the weekend, while the television show raked in huge ratings. More than 8 million people tuned in to watch the show, including the 18 to 49 bracket that advertisers drool for. So chances are high that we'll see both a Jumper sequel, and a Knight Rider series in the months ahead (a replacement for NBC's ailing Bionic Woman?). We just hope they'll stay closer to the source material in a Jumper sequel, and give Knight Rider a tuneup. Either way, we're sure both projects got a huge thumbs up from The Hoff. More »

Cloverfield opens this Friday, and if you're planning on seeing it in the theaters, make sure you stay planted after the credits roll. If you do, you'll be rewarded with a "Wink, wink. We'll be back!" moment. Basically the screen goes black and a walkie-talkie crackles to life and a voice says... something. None of us could figure out what they said, leading to speculation about a sequel, what the numbers actually mean on Lost, or maybe just a radio commercial for Slusho. If you see it this weekend, let us know what you think it was. More »

Wes Craven's 1989 filmShocker, also known as "The Boss From X-Files as A Serial Killer With Electrical Powers" and not the hand gesture with an entirely different meaning, is gearing up for a sequel at some point this year. This is one of those "why the hell would they?" cases where the original was so bad, it just has no business getting a sequel. Find out all about it after the jump. More »

Screamers 2 will begin shooting in Toronto next month, and that news made us haul out the first film to take another look at it. While the original version of Screamers from 1995 isn't a bad film by any means, it does have a storyline that plenty of people would find pretty frakkin' familiar these days: Humans invent a sentient robot killing machine to eradicate their enemies with, and soon enough it turns on mankind and even learns how to mimic human appearance. Battlestar Galactica, anyone? More »

Blade Runner is enjoying a resurgence in popularity — the new cut hit theaters last month, and a five-disc ultra edition coming out on DVD next month. Now, rumors have it that Hollywood may churn out a sequel to this classic about rogue androids and the reluctant "Blade Runner" cop (Harrison Ford) who tracks them down. Author Paul Sammon, who has made an entire career out of talking about the movie, says that Director Ridley Scott is "not loathe" to the idea of a sequel to the classic 1982 film. But a sequel would be a disaster. More »

Vin Diesel may be hoping to pull the emergency ripcord on his speedy free-fall out of the limelight. Director David Twohy mentioned on his blog that there might be yet another Pitch Black sequel emerging from the darkness, but that it would be smaller in scale and independently financed. More »

This new list of the 10 best unfilmed science fiction films includes a lot of sequels. Designer Simon Kitson would like to see followups to the original Star Wars trilogy, Serenity and Aliens. But he wishes the Wachowski sibs had made a Matrix prequel instead of the two sequels. Like most people, Kitson thinks George Lucas' obsession with filling in the backstory has ruined Star Wars: More »

We'd all given up hope for Serenity 2 ever coming out. But maybe we despaired too soon? Alan Tudyk claims the "special edition" DVD of the first Firefly movie has done so well that Universal is considering a sequel. More »
