wait, is that for the Alien sequel or wasn't there also a Prometheus sequel? I'm confused.

It's both. It's bridging the movies.

But I thought they were working on a Prometheus movie and an alien movie? I'm sure I read that somewhere

Yeah, Neill Blomkamp was working on an Alien sequel, with Ridley and all that. But that got scrapped as soon as Ridley said he wanted to make another prequel.

Oh good more Alien movies

The "Fast and Furious" franchise will be getting a 9th and 10th chapter, Universal Pictures said Wednesday.

The 9th film of the blockbuster franchise will drive into theaters on Friday, April 19, 2019 while the 10th film will be released on Friday, April 2, 2021.
Plot details and titles for the films were not disclosed.
Series star Vin Diesel posted about the news on Wednesday morning.
"2 decades, 10 films, 1 saga," said a photo caption that Diesel posted on his Instagram account.

The 9th and 10th films will follow the next film in the series, "Fast 8," which will be released next year on April 14.
The "Fast and Furious" series is one of the most successful blockbuster franchises in Hollywood today.
"Furious 7," the series last installment, roared to a record $147 million box office opening in April, and brought in a total of $1.5 billion in ticket sales around the world.

The series as a whole has raked in nearly $4 billion at the box office for Universal, which is owned by Comcast (CMCSA).
The "Fast and Furious" saga, which evolved from street racing movies to heist films, is also a big hit internationally as well as with audiences from diverse backgrounds.
For example, a massive 75% of the opening weekend audience for April's "Furious 7" were not white.

10 movies??

Wow.

I'm not sure they'll be the same without Walker.

All I wanna know is who's directing them. Not thrilled about F. Gary Gray doing the next one.

It would be nice to see some old school directors, like John McTiernan or Renny Harlin.

A+

[LoathedVermin72]

Ugh, no.

[BurtReynolds]

Ugh, no.

I knew this post was coming, but knowing doesn't make me feel any less disgusted by it.

I dont see Miller doing one of these properly. He is not an action director at all....

David Ayer would be amazing.

I don't even know how to process that statement.

[LoathedVermin72]

VG is right. Miller has always been the worst part of the Mad Max universe.

[BurtReynolds]

The Road Warrior action sequences are some of the greatest ever put on film. You're on crack rock if you think he can't shoot action. You've all become retarded on shaky cam and cg. I won't hear of this nonsense.

[BurtReynolds]

Even the stuff on Happy Feet is brilliant. He doesn't take shortcuts.

[BurtReynolds]

Wait, you guys are just trolling me aren't you? haha you got me.
