Sequels are awesome, plain and simple. Returning to familiar characters and worlds we love is like covering yourself with a warm blanket, although when a sequel is bad it can be like a blanket covered in potato bugs and lice. Studios love sequels because seven times out of ten they open huge, no matter how good they are.
With that in mind, here's 50 of your favorite titles all preparing to get new installments. Some of them are deep into pre-production while others have barely gotten out of the pitch stages, but you'll be salivating at the thought of some of these sweet babies finally making their way to the screen.

The dust has pretty much settled from the surprise announcement last year of Lucasfilm’s $4.05 Billion dollar merger with family entertainment giant and cotton candy distributor Disney. The money has been shuffled into a trust fund earmarked for educational philanthropy, and the fanboys have retreated into their mancaves in the basements of their grandmas’ houses, and are busily writing angry posts about The Justice League. The rest of us “normal” people are patiently waiting to see what Disney makes of Star Wars, and rocking ourselves to sleep at night saying, “it can’t be worse than Jar-Jar Binks…”
I have a very bad feeling about this…
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say I think that may be true, that nothing could be worse than Jar-Jar Binks. I’m going even further out on that limb by examining what for many has been a wildly »

While Ford hasn't officially been confirmed as a castmember of the Jj Abrams-directed feature, his response seems to indicate that the Han Solo actor is on board the upcoming film, slated for a 2015 release.

Ford is currently attached to several projects, including You Belong to Me, Ender's Game, Anchorman 2 and Indiana Jones 5.

Steven Spielberg reiterates that Indy 5 will need a George Lucas story to happen. Lucas, apparently, remains interested...
In the aftermath of the deal where Disney bought Lucasfilm towards the end of last year, there was little mention of the Indiana Jones franchise. Disney at one stage was reported to have attributed no value to it when putting its sums together for the acquisition, which didn't sound promising. Furthermore, George Lucas has now stepped away from big blockbuster movies, and Steven Spielberg has suggested that his days with action cinema may well be behind him. We can't be alone in concluding that Indiana Jones 5 was looking very, very unlikely.
But it seems there's still a chance that it may happen.
