"The Exorcist" is getting a sequel...
"Amityville Horror" is getting another film...
"Poltergeist" is getting another reboot thing.
"The Omen" is getting a prequel to the original. So it could lead to more films.
Today talk of a sequel to the original "The Fog" movie was posted...

Assuming these aren't scrapped altogether and come to fruition.

Well because it is cannibalizing itself.
They will not even consider the idea of doing something
that is not a remake name.

Normally, you say "gee I like the Howling, it would be fun to do a werewolf movie again."

"What would be a different idea?"

"Oh I don't know-maybe werewolves at a ski resort? Or Die Hard with werewolves?"

They don't do that.
Now, it's "remake the Howling--make a few changes but we want a remake--
and something that can be a series.."

No more single volume movies...
And you end up with such inferior quality because no one is enthusiastic
unless they are like giggly Rian Johnson.

"Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least by my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature
will allow." Frankenstein

	Last Edit: Feb 16, 2021 19:00:24 GMT by Ass_E9 I haven't even begun to let my imagination loose on this one.
