Halloween II (which was really the ninth installment in this franchise) wasn't even the top-grossing new horror movie this weekend.
Still, The Los Angeles Times reports that The Weinstein Company is moving forward with Halloween 3D, yet another sequel in this played out franchise.
Writer/directorRob Zombie won't return for the follow-up film, as the studio is in negotiations with a new director, one with "different take" on the movies, according to Harvey Weinstein.
Halloween II opened in third place this weekend with an estimated $17.4 million.
A pair of sequels are in the works. Read on, find out more about each and then let us know: Which sounds like a worse idea?
Movie goers chose teenagers trying to avoid death this weekend over angry Jews trying to kill Hitler.
The final installment in the Final Destination franchise knocked Inglourious Basterds out of its top spot. Here's a rundown of the top five films at the multiplex:
This just in: Megan Fox looks downright gorgeous in Jennifer's Body.
The actress is at the center of the Diablo Cody-directed movie, which premieres on September 18. It co-stars Amanda Seyfried, who is seen below with Fox.
The pair actually make out at one point, giving men yet another reason to line up for this quasi horror flick. We'll meet you at the theater...
First, the good news: Judd Apatow says an Anchorman sequel is looking even more likely now than it was a year ago.
Now, the really good news: the writer/producer/director has offered an idea for the follow-up comedy, one we're fully behind.
In an interview with Empire, Apatow hinted that he and Will Ferrell may set the film in the present, making Ron Burgundy and company senior citizens.
“The great thing is, Will can be any age and play that character," Apatow said. "Those anchormen sometimes have their jobs until they’re 75 years old. So we would always laugh that this movie could work if everybody’s really elderly.”
The concept makes sense: Remember, Anchormen ended with an epilogue that forecasted the immediate future of various characters (Brick went off to serve as a top advisor to George W. Bush, for example).
Therefore, a sequel would almost have to be based many years down the line. We can't wait!
Most recently seen in Body of Lies, and set for the role of Prince John in Robin Hood, Oscar Isaac has joined the cast of Sucker Punch.
The Zack Snyder-directed thriller focuses on a girl who's institutionalized by her stepfather and proceeds to retreat into an alternative reality. Emily Browning plays the main character.
The rest of the eclectic cast is filled by Carla Gugino, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, Scott Glenn and Abbie Cornish.
You've seen a few action shots from New Moon, such as the still image of Jacob Black topless in the film.
Now, the studio has released a number of promotional photos that focus on characters other than Jacob, Bella and Edward for a change.
Pictured below are members of the Volturi, the powerful coven of vampires that enforce the rules of their unique world. The actress receiving the most buzz for her role of Jane is Dakota Fanning, who is very much playing against type in New Moon.
"She is very strange and very spooky in this movie," said director Chris Weitz. "I think [Dakota] wanted to play an evil character for once."
