Well, it is most probably me but I think sooner or later movie ideas are just gonna dry up. A sweet director will come along and bring out an awesome movie and it will take a HUGE taking at the box office. But at the moment it seems that a sure fire way to make some cash is to bring out a sequel of an awesome first movie. Pirate of the Caribbean is doing it, Shrek has done it, Oceans Eleven is doing it.
Well right now it looks like some sweet sequels that are set to come out and could be in the making. The first one that will be coming out is Pink Panther 2, Columbia Pictures has gotten the talents of Harald Zwart behind them to direct the movie. Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel are going to rewrite the sequel for Steve Martin.
The second one, and I can’t tell you how fucking excited I am for this one, is Beverly Hills Cop 4. I loved the trilogy and can’t wait to make it a Quadrilogy (never heard that one used). ComingSoon.net has had a chat to Lorenzo di Bonaventura about Transformers and Stardust and managed to sneak a quick word in about Axel Foley and the Beverly Hills Cop 4. He had a few words to say about it, here is what he had to say.
“‘Happening’ would be too strong a word, but we are working on a take,” he told us. “We have not hired a writer yet, but we’ve been analyzing the franchise and asking lots and lots of people about Alex Foley. ‘What do you love about Axel and what would you want to see with an Axel Foley movie?’ I think we have enough information now that we’ll probably be hiring a writer in the next four to eight weeks and taking a good shot at it.”
I tell you what, out of the 2 (as long as they don’t screw the storyline up) Beverly Hills Cop 4 is gonna be a blast, Pink Panther might be alright but I wasn’t a big fan of the first one. I was however a fan of the David Niven Pink Panther series. Good oll’ movie sequels, I love em!
