- DirectorGrant HarveyStarsKatharine IsabelleEmily PerkinsNathaniel ArcandSet in 19th Century Canada, Brigette and her sister Ginger take refuge in a Traders' Fort which later becomes under siege by some savage werewolves.Prequel to 'Ginger Snaps' (2000) & 'Ginger Snaps II: The Unleashed' (2004). As a kid I had no business watching the 'Ginger Snaps' films but something about werewolves and insane asylums that get me all riled up. Nonetheless, I've never met a single person who has viewed all three films and hasn't been left wanting more. Ginger Snaps: Ginger's Back 2014 (Make it happen Hollywood!!!!)
- DirectorNoel ClarkeStarsNoel ClarkeScarlett Alice JohnsonAdam DeaconThe story revolves around Sam who is released from prison and has to face the people he hurt on a daily basis.Sequel to 'Kidulthood' (2006). These U.K. based thrill rides leave me wanting more and also to close a few timelines as well. Like, What happen with Sam & Lexi, Did they fall haply ever after? Or did Jay come back & finish the job he longed to do? Who knows...
- DirectorPatrick LeungCorey YuenStarsCharlene ChoiGillian ChungYing QuIn the mythical land of Huadu, Charcoal Head, a humble boy born to rule an empire must undertake his journey to claim his throne. It is an epic action adventure combining romance, fantasy, comedy and cutting edge Hong Kong style martial artistry.Sequel to 'The Twins Effect I'(2003). Although Twins Effect II had absolutely zilch to do with Twins Effect I, I still feel as if the story of both the films were not closed in a manor I was comfortable with. But do to Gillian Chung's photo scandal the duo (along with Charlene Choi) has since been broken up and not much has been reported on the two getting back together on film. *tear*
- DirectorStephen FungStarsDaniel WuShu QiTony Ka Fai LeungYang Luchan marries the Chen style kung fu grand master's daughter in Chen village in 1800s China, so he can learn Chen style kung fu/tai chi. The deputy governor wants the village.Sequel to 'Tai Chi Zero' (2012). Tai Chi Zero & Tai Chi Hero are phenomenal films with great cinematic visuals, amazing fighting sequences, & brilliant writing. The films director Stephen Fung has been talking up a possibly sequel but not much more about it has risen out of the wood work as of yet.
- DirectorOlivier MegatonStarsJason StathamRobert KnepperNatalya RudakovaFrank Martin is forced to deliver Valentina, the kidnapped daughter of a Ukrainian government official, from Marseilles to Odessa on the Black Sea. En route, he has to contend with thugs who want to intercept Valentina's safe delivery.Sequel to 'The Transporter' (2003) & 'Transporter 2' (2005). Need I say why this series needs a 4th film? No, No I do not.
- DirectorRoel ReinéStarsLuke GossTanit PhoenixDanny TrejoConvicted cop-killer Carl Lucas, a.k.a. Frankenstein, is a superstar driver in the brutal prison yard demolition derby known as the Death Race. He is only one victory away from winning freedom for himself and his pit crew.Sequel to 'Death Race' (2008) & 'Death Race 2' (2010). Luke Gross took the seat on the throne of Frankenstein in replace of Jason Statham in this amazing car carnage trilogy. Though Death Race 2 & Death Race: Inferno got terrible reviews by it's viewers, I genuinely enjoyed them. I'd go as far as to say Gross played the role of Frankenstein subsequently better than that of Statham.
- DirectorLance MungiaStarsYuji OkumotoMarcus ChongTito OrtizOn his way to becoming an immortal demon, a gang leader orchestrates the murder of an ex-con and his girlfriend.Sequel to 'The Crow' (1994), 'The Crow: City of Angels (1996) & 'The Crow: Salvation' (2000).
