We take a look at the movie sequels that attempted to up the ante by heading out of this world…
When it comes to the world of franchise moviemaking, space really is the final frontier. Boldly going where no previous entry has gone before represents an easy win for a studio looking to enliven a particular film property. The Fast and Furious franchise is the latest to be weighing up one giant leap for mankind with Chris Morgan, the writer of Hobbs & Shaw, open to taking Dominic Toretto et al into space.
"I would never shoot down space," Morgan told Entertainment Weekly. "Never, never. I would literally never shoot down anything, as long as it hits the parameters: 'Is it badass? is it awesome? Will the audience love it? And will it not break faith with the audience as they're watching it?' I'm down for whatever.

They did it to Scooby-Doo. They did it to Garfield. They did it to Alvin and the Chipmunks. They did it to Yogi Bear. They did it to The Smurfs. And now they're doing it to The Brave Little Toaster. Waterman Entertainment has purchased the rights to the kids movie and they're now planning to create a new CGI/live-action hybrid movie based on the property. The Wrap says that while old movie, made back in 1987, centered around household objects like a toaster, a vacuum cleaner, a lamp and a blanket, the new version will contain more modern pieces of technology, such as an iPhone (no joke). The story, which was originally based on the children's book by Thomas M. Disch, is about a group of household appliances that travel a long distance to try and get back to their owner. Steve Waterman, who founded the company, has worked on...

Because I sure as hell don't, and that's because it doesn't exist. This morning I received some sweet retro gear in the mail: a t-shirt, pin, and hat which you can see on the Sargasso Planet viral site which has to do with.. Day One! Remember when we leaked the trailer for the show? Well, a couple days later, a PR firm for NBC asks for my address and when I received a package this morning, I immediately thought lawsuit. But no, it's just viral material for the upcoming Day One campaign, and I for one will be sporting my tight new gear later this week (pictures to come soon ladies).
Now for the details.. it seems the Sargasso Planet campaign has something to do with a fictional entertainment franchise of cartoons, video games and toys and a guy named "Zack Adamski" who has twitter with obvious keywords capitalized like Flood,...

For those who don't know who Jeff Renfroe is, he co-write and co-directed the incredible scifi psychological thriller One Point O and while he's done a couple of well received films since, none of them has garnered massive attention. I'm guessing this will probably follow along those some lines, but it sounds incredible, kind of like Thomas M. Disch's The Genocides in the underground aspect. While the film is listed in pre-production, it's being backed by Telefilm Canada so let's hope we get to see more soon. All we have right now is a poster and a brief synopsis.
After the next ice age, a small group of survivors living underground must fight for their lives when their fragile society disintegrates into cannibalism and violence after coming under attack by a savage band of feral humans.
