My only hope with the movie is that Ren gets the recognition he deserves.

Not being in the first promo pic in any form isnt a great start to that.

And...what the fuck? F. Gary Gray and Ice Cube are working together and they're making this shit instead of an actually good follow-up to Friday.

Much like the TERMINATOR franchise, we'd all be better off if the FRIDAY series had stayed in the 20th century.

Paramount has announced its lineup for the next two years:

 

GI Joe 3

Star Trek 3 (or 13)

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters 2 (?!)

Paranormal Activity 5

Ben-Hur

Beverly Hills Cop (4 - Reboot within a sequel)

Squarebob Spongepants 2 in 3D

Hot-Tub Time Machine 2

Terminator: Genesis (Reboot within a sequel)

Mission: Impossible 5

Friday The 13th (Reboot.  Yes, again.  Yes I know it was rebooted 5 years ago, shut up.)

The Gambler (Remake)

 

So. 2 remakes, 3 reboots, 7 sequels.   WHO DARES SAY CREATIVITY IS DEAD.

 

Excuse me, I have to go find a puppy to kick. 

 

For some reason the term "reboot within a sequel" sends a shiver down my spine.

And I'm pretty sure the only way Jeremy Renner is coming back for Hansel and Gretel 2 is

 

1) They pay him $50 million.

2) Orwellian-like mind control.

3) The studio procures scandalous pictures of him with barnyard animals.

 

Seriously, he looked pretty blatantly embarrassed to even be there at several points during the first film.

Renner is a fine actor who's great as the lead in smaller films and secondary roles in big budget/ensemble blockbusters.  What you don't want is him carrying the load in a tent-pole franchise film, even though he's talented.  He doesn't have quite enough of the It Factor to pull that off.  That's not a disparage on his abilities--I think he's quite good.  But he doesn't seem mainstream enough.

American Hustle is Not Good

 

Correct.  It is great.  And Renner is spectacular in it.

It's overrated.  Good movie that thinks inserting a billion f-bombs makes for good dialogue.

You're confusing American Hustle with The Wolf of Wall Street, Tabe.

WoWS is everything American Hustle is not, person whose name I can never spell

Both are failed Best Picture bait. Glitzy cast, overly clever dialogue, intense profanity, and could've been trimmed down 20-30 minutes in running time.

Kevin Hart! Josh Gad!

 

Okay - I am going to be honest, the only reason I am posting this is because it is the directorial debut by a guy I went to high school with. (He had been just a writer - including writing the Break-Up and the announced writer of the Police Academy reboot).

So despite the terrible movies... yup, another person I know who put me to shame
