10 Movie Sequels You Had No Idea Were Even Happening

10. Alice In Wonderland 2

It's A Sequel To...Alice In Wonderland (2010) When I wrote about Alice In Wonderland a few months ago for an article I did on Tim Burton, I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about it. In fact, I said the movie was "an insult to its source material. Lazy and excessively computer-animated to erroneous means, Burton throws every one of his tricks into the pot and comes up with nothing but a bland, uninspired and €“ worst of all €“ mind-numbingly boring adaptation of Lewis Carroll€™s bizarre classic." I'll admit now that I was wrong to judge the movie in such a fashion. Upon viewing it for a second time recently, I realise how wrong I was: I went far too easy on it. It's much more repugnant than any images I might've conjured there, in fact. Flat and lifeless, it's frankly embarrassing. It also happens to be the 13th highest grossing movie of all time, which means that, yes, Disney would be insane not to try and mount a sequel to this one. Which they are. No word as to who will star or direct Alice In Wonderland2 yet (not Tim Burton, please), but Linda Woolverton (who penned the original, as well as classics like The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast) is back on script duties. Sigh. I, for one, can't wait to see just how shitty the rabbit hole gets. Do We Want It? No thank-you, Linda. Despite all the good you have done, no thank-you.
