Star Trek: Picard Season 2 is an “Encounter at Farpoint” Sequel

New DVD release, , , ,
In “Encounter at Farpoint,” Q (John de Lancie) put all of humanity on trial, partly, by pulling Troi, Data, Tasha, and Picard into a courtroom from the year 2079. What this first episode of The Next Generation did wasn’t subtle. In 1987, TNG was saying that the 24th Century was going to be awesome, but that the 21st Century was going to suck. And now, with Picard Season 2, Star Trek is tackling that legacy by seemingly blending the ‘80s notion of the 21st century with the actual 21st century. In this way, Picard is actually doing the most TNG…

Could a Walking Dead Negan Sequel Happen?

New DVD release, , , ,
If there’s a clear theme permeating the early, Alexandria-focused episodes of The Walking Dead’s extended eleventh and final season, it’s that Negan seems to be a dead man walking. While proving useful since he was freed from years of incarceration, his survival seemingly hinges on sticking with a group whose leadership still carries traumatic memories of his many sins, notably the night he—with a cruel comedic flair—brutally bludgeoned their loved ones to death with a barbed-wire baseball bat. However, Jeffrey Dean Morgan seems intent on continuing to play the character beyond the show’s endpoint, despite his diminishing chances. Morgan has…

Alan Wake Remastered Gives New Hope to Long Overdue Sequel

New DVD release, , ,
Developer Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that they’re finally remastering their largely underrated horror masterpiece, Alan Wake. We don’t know much about the simply titled Alan Wake Remastered at this time, but it is currently scheduled to be released in fall 2021 for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. Believe it or not, this will actually be the first time that Alan Wake will be officially available for PlayStation platforms since the original game’s 2010 release date. While it’s easy enough to look forward to any chance to play Alan Wake…

How SAS: Rise of the Black Swan’s Ending Sets Up the Sequel

Netflix, New DVD release, ,
This article contains spoilers for SAS: Rise of the Black Swan. SAS: Rise of the Black Swan centers on a hijacking: terrorist leader Grace Lewis (Ruby Rose) and her Black Swans commandeer high-speed train Eurostream while it’s under the English Channel, and the SAS (Special Air Service, essentially the British Army’s counter-terrorist unit) stud Tom Buckingham (Sam Heughan) attempts to thwart the hijacking while protecting his partner Sophie (Hannah John-Kamen), who he intends to marry. Based on the novel SAS: Red Notice by former British soldier Andy Mcnab, the film is an unflinching political action thriller that ends with a…

What the Candyman Ending Means for a Sequel and His Immortal Legend

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Candyman spoilers. It is an exquisite final image. Swarmed in a symphony of bees and standing triumphant over his latest victim—a police officer sprawled out in an alleyway’s gutter—Candyman looks joyful. He’s the monster who’s haunted the ruins of what was once Cabrini-Green for more than a hundred years, and the legend who frightened children and caused lovers to cling closer in their rapture, and now he’s at last returned to his flock. Only this time Candyman is saving the woman who summoned him instead of destroying her. As Teyonah Parris’ Brianna Cartwright looks on, her salvation…

Army of the Dead 2: Questions That Need to Be Answered in a Sequel

Netflix, New DVD release, ,
This Army of the Dead article contains spoilers. Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead packed a punch on Netflix the weekend of its release. By the following Monday, the Justice League director’s zombie heist epic was well on its way to becoming one of the streaming service’s top 10 most watched movies of all time. What does that mean? That there’s a good chance we’ll be getting a sequel in due time. A sequel won’t come as much of a surprise to those fans who’ve been following along, though. After all, Army of the Dead was always meant to be…

15 SNES Games That Deserve a Sequel

New DVD release, ,
The SNES isn’t just the greatest Nintendo console of all-time: it’s the home of a truly impressive collection of classic games, underrated gems, and, for our purposes today, a shocking number of games that never got the sequel they deserved. While you can usually list the business reasons why certain games don’t get sequels, that does little to diminish fans’ desires for more of a particular experience or even a second chance to get things right. In the case of some of these games, fans have been holding their breath for quite a long time. Before we dive into this…

Green Lantern Star Mark Strong Was Excited for Sequel

New DVD release, , , ,
There was a moment a full decade ago when DC Entertainment’s Green Lantern was expected by observers to become the big cosmic superhero hit of the summer in 2011. Meanwhile Marvel’s Thor was expected to stumble and slide off the Rainbow Bridge into the box office void. Of course we know what really happened: Thor, while a modest hit by modern Marvel standards, became a cornerstone of the MCU and Green Lantern—released on June 17, 2011—flamed out spectacularly, an inarguable bust with both critics and audiences alike. On the surface, the first live-action film based around the interstellar police force…

George A. Romero’s Twilight of the Dead: 13 Directors Who Could Helm the Zombie Sequel

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Legendary filmmaker George A. Romero may have left this plane of existence in 2017, but his legacy — the post-apocalyptic zombie movie genre that he created — lives on. According to the THR, Romero was working before his death on Twilight of the Dead, a film that would have been his final statement on the subject and the last installment in the series that included the groundbreaking Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1979), Day of the Dead (1985), and others. Now Romero’s widow Suzanne, who has been developing the script that her late husband started…

Mortal Kombat Sequel: What Should Happen Next

New DVD release, , , ,
IT HAS BEGUN! Or it will. Mortal Kombat came out and did all right for itself. The reboot has its highs and its lows, but one thing I will say it does a better job at is setting up a sequel. The 1995 original had a decent enough cliffhanger with a kaiju-sized Shao Kahn popping in and everyone ready to just kick his ass, but at the time, there weren’t too many promising places to take the sequel. The first movie was just so front-loaded that the second didn’t have enough to rope us in. That’s why it’s probably for…

Mortal Kombat: Is the Box Office Good Enough for a Sequel?

New DVD release, , , ,
Warner Bros. and producer James Wan’s Mortal Kombat reboot had a very good weekend. Despite opening simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max—thereby allowing any North American fan to potentially watch the movie at home—the video game adaptation overperformed and blew past expectations when it grossed $23.3 million in three days. That’s well above lowball estimates on Friday, which were pegging the movie at closer to $18 or $19 million based on opening day attendance. Indeed, the much more limited anime release, Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train, earned more on Friday. Nonetheless, Mortal Kombat spent the rest of the…

Days Gone Director Boldly Blames Cheap Gamers For Canceled Sequel

New DVD release, , , , , ,
In an interview posted on David Jaffe’s YouTube channel, Days Gone writer/co-director John Garvin (who has since left developer Bend Studios over what was implied to be personality differences) suggested that part of the reason why the game will reportedly not be getting a sequel is that not enough people bought it at full price. “I do have an opinion on something that your audience may find of interest, and it might piss some of them off,” said Garvin. “If you love a game, buy it at f-cking full price. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen gamers…

The Meg 2 Director Hints More Than One Megalodon Will Be in Sequel

New DVD release, , ,
The Meg 2 is a thing. Three years after the release of the original The Meg, which swallowed up an astonishing $530 million worldwide at the box office, director Ben Wheatley — fresh off his eerie new horror film In The Earth — is deep in pre-production on a sequel to the 2018 thriller that pitted puny humans against a couple of oversized prehistoric sharks. “I’m storyboarding at the moment on Meg 2,” Wheatley says when we catch up with him for the release of In The Earth. “It’s been going on for four months, five months. It’s my happy…

Resident Evil DASH: Canceled Sequel or Urban Legend?

New DVD release, , , ,
As the upcoming Resident Evil Village looks to terrify some with its classic monsters and excite others with its giant vampire ladies, fans everywhere find reasons to reflect on the greatest franchise in horror game history. Yet, I’m willing to bet that even some of the biggest Resident Evil fans haven’t heard about the “missing” game in the franchise: Resident Evil: DASH. For over twenty years, rumors of a canceled project known simply as Resident Evil: DASH have divided the Resident Evil fanbase. For some, it’s the ultimate missing part of Resident Evil‘s legacy. To others, it’s one of the…

Godzilla vs. Kong Director Almost Made a Sequel to Peter Jackson’s King Kong

New DVD release, , , , ,
Director Peter Jackson’s 2005 version of King Kong is something of an anomaly: although the film was a box office hit—grossing $562 million worldwide against an admittedly hefty budget of $207 million—and garnered a generally positive critical response, it doesn’t seem to have made a lasting impression on the pop culture landscape in the same way that Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy did. In fact, in some quarters it’s considered an underperformer. That, however, apparently didn’t stop Jackson from developing the idea for a sequel to his Kong movie, reportedly titled Skull Island. And while Jackson himself was…

Coming 2 America is a Sequel to More Than One Eddie Murphy Movie

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Coming 2 America spoilers. One thing Coming 2 Ameirca is not lacking in is nostalgia and easter eggs for the past. Before the opening credits have even concluded, we’ve learned that Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) has surprisingly kept a sentimental photo of his one-time barber from 1988, and another of himself in a McDowell’s uniform. (To be fair though, McDowell’s is at least where he wooed his future queen Lisa.) Soon enough John Amos and Louie Anderson also show up for a bow in the opening montage. Yet one of the best callbacks in the whole film…

Why Conker’s Bad Fur Day Never Got a Sequel

New DVD release, ,
As an M-Rated game developed for the N64, 2001’s Conker’s Bad Fur Day was always going to stand out from the pack of that console’s largely family-friendly lineup of major titles. Even in the year 2021, though, it’s hard to believe that Nintendo ever allowed one of their own publishing partners to release a game so absurdly vulgar, crude, and violent on one of their consoles. That’s the thing that remains so shocking about the title some 20 years later. It’s not that Nintendo greenlit a “mature” game for the N64: it’s that the game they approved utilized the visual…

This piece contains spoilers for Netflix’s To All the Boys: Always and Forever. This Valentine’s Day, Netflix concludes its To All the Boys YA romance movie trilogy, based on Jenny Han’s hit book series, with To All the Boys: Always and Forever.
