A-TEAM 2 IS UP TO YOU!

Joe Carnahan says the only way we’ll see an “A-Team” sequel is if the Blu-ray sells like hot cakes. “I think a large degree of it depends on how it does in this [DVD/Blu-ray] realm. We kind of fell victim to a marketing misstep in that there wasn’t necessarily an understanding of what the show was. We didn’t do an adequate enough job of telling people what the movie was, if you know what I mean.” (More…)

ZOOLANDER 2 : WHERE ARE YOU?

Owen Wilson first mentioned the possibility of a “Zoolander” sequel when I spoke to him in 2005 – for “Wedding Crashers”. Five years later, it’s still in the works. Wilson offered an update of the project to Cinema Blend suggesting that he and co-star Ben Stiller are currently mulling over story ideas.

LEVI NOT KEEN ON SUPERMAN, BUT MOORE IS ON LOIS

Zachary Levi (“Chuck”) told me today at the “Tangled” junket in Melbourne that, despite the rumours that popped up earlier in the year, he was never in contention to play Zack Snyder’s Superman. “I’ve already turned them down. Seems like kinda a stiff part”, joked the actor (Levi’s co-star Mandy Moore did express interest in the Lois Lane part though), adding that it’s not a role he’d really want to chase. Levi also told me he wouldn’t be involved in the next “Alvin & The Chipmunks” flick, due out next Christmas.

TRON REVOLUTIONS

“TRON Legacy” is barely out of cans, but that hasn’t stopped the pencil pushers at Disney from scribbling ‘sequel’ across a manilla folder. If the film hits big this weekend, it’s expected that the screenwriters will get to work on a follow-up quick smart. Hollywood Insider says that there’s half-a-dozen or so scenarios being tossed around for TRON 3, a couple of them involving the characters of Alan (Bruce Boxleitner) and Laura (Cindy Morgan, who isn’t in “TRON Legacy”) as well as Cillian Murphy’s shady character from the new pic. Apparently it’s not certain if Jeff Bridges will be back for another though (!) (More…)

DAN, WHO YA GONNA CALL? BILL HADER!

Late last month Dan Aykroyd confirmed rumours that Bill Hader (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”) was someone he was looking at for “Ghostbusters 3″. Thing is, Aykroyd is yet to pick up the phone and actually speak to Hader about it. ” Speaking to The Playlist, the “SNL” alum said, “I heard about it the same way you guys did! I went online and was like, whoa! Cool! All my friends were calling, ‘Are you gonna be in Ghostbusters 3?’ I obviously am very flattered, but I don’t know anything about it.”
