10 Amazing Movie Sequels We'll Never See‏

No, we did not say everything with the first Beetlejuice.

Nicolas Cage Superman Lives Hollywood will eat itself. Wait, no Hollywood has long since eaten itself, regurgitated the stuff up and is chowing down again. Pretty gross. It's also just the way the movie industry works nowadays: it's all franchises, reboots, remakes, and sequels. Lots of sequels. We got a sequel to Johnny English last year, nearly a decade after the first film. Was anybody really crying out for a Johnny English sequel? Apart from Rowan Atkinson, we mean. That dude's not got a whole lot else going on. We mean, besides counting all of his Mr Bean cash. Despite their love for putting all their money on the "safe bets" of sequels over original ideas, there have been a handful of movie follow-ups that have slipped through the net over the years. We're a little worried that franchise mania might be the death of Hollywood at some point or another, but if they'd actually made half the sequels they've mooted over the years, we'd have a lot more faith in their current obsession with producing follow-ups. They've managed to can sequels that sounded genuinely really cool, or at least daring, and oftentimes pretty bonkers. We assume they would be, anyway, since these are ten sequels we'll never get to see.
