Monsters Inc.: When Toy Story 3 finally comes and goes, we’ll still have another Pixar sequel to look forward to. Disney has just announced that a follow to 2001’s Monsters Inc. is in the works. The feature will premiere on Nov. 16, 2012.
Wanted: Kristen Stewart as a replacement…for Angelina Jolie? The forces behind Wanted 2 are reportedly eyeing the Twilight star for a role in the sequel. (Although they had hoped to bring back Jolie, she has already opted out.) Director Timur Bekmambetov is considering casting Stewart as a “young, ass-kicking assassin in the Fraternity.”

Tyler Perry Joins ‘Star Trek’ Film
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Science Fiction, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Tyler Perry - the man behind Madea’s Family Reunion and Why Did I get Married? - will be assuming a much smaller role for his next project.
The writer/producer/actor will be taking someone else’s direction while starring in the upcoming Star Trek film. (I believe this may be the first time he’s ever participated in something that didn’t have his name in the title.) Perry will join a continuously expanding cast that already includes Eric Bana, Winona Ryder, Simon Pegg, Zachary Quinto, John Cho and Leonard Nimoy.
If the movie adds one more star, I believe it will have officially reached Robert Altman proportions.

‘Harold & Kumar 2’ Trailer
Posted by David Onda Categories: New Line, Action, Adventure, Sequels, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
The brand spankin’ new full-length trailer for the sequel to Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle has now been released. What is particularly interesting is that the film is no longer called Harold & Kumar 2, but has been officially named Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. I have my doubts that this film can even come close to being as good as the first one, but the trailer looks pretty funny. Kal Penn and John Cho (and, yes, Neil Patrick Harris) are back, and this time they are breaking out of a Cuban terrorist detainment facility. I’ll reserve my judgement for the film, but you are more than welcome to place your bets now.
Check out the full-length Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay after the jump.

Even More ‘Star Trek’ Casting News
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Science Fiction, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,
Earlier this week we reported some big casting news for the upcoming Star Trek film. Actors John Cho and Simon Pegg were recently chosen for the roles of Sulu and Scotty, respectively.
Now we have word that two more actors have been lined up for the highly-anticipated Enterprise prequel. Chris Pine, who was recently seen in Just My Luck, has snagged the role of James T. Kirk. (Apparently you can find work after a Lindsay Lohan film.) Meanwhile, Karl Urban (The Bourne Supremacy) will be starring as Leonard “Bones” McCoy.
Production on the J.J. Abrams film should begin before the end of the year.

Shaun of the Dead’s Simon Pegg Joins ‘Star Trek’ Film
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Adaptation, Drama, Science Fiction, Sequels, Casting, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Just last week we announced intriguing casting news for the upcoming Star Trek film: Eric Bana as the film’s villian, Nero. (I wonder if this was the part Russell Crowe was rumored for.) Now we have more news to whet your appetites. Actor Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) is signed on to play Scotty; John Cho (Harold and Kumar) will take over the role of Sulu. With the exception of James T. Kirk (an actor is supposedly being finalized), most of the characters have now been filled. As a refresher:
- John Cho: Sulu
- Simon Pegg: Scotty
- Eric Bana: Nero
- Zoe Saldana (Haven): Uhura
- Anton Yelchin (Alpha Dog): Chekov
- Zachary Quinto (Heroes): young Spock
- Leonard Nimoy: Spock
Not much is known about the script, though it is believed the movie will depict the Enterprise’s early days. Shooting for the J.J. Abrams film will begin in November.
