Small snippets of news regarding Hancock 2, Sin City 2 and the Superman Returns follow-up hit the Net over the past 24 hours. They can hardly be considered “real” news, but I am sure some of you will find the updates interesting.
First off, JoBlo talked to Will Smith regarding another Hancock film and got this:
We just got done talking to Will Smith, who’s promoting SEVEN POUNDS, and he told us that we’ll “definitely” be seeing a sequel. When we asked Will if he’d ever be up for playing another superhero he replied that there were a lot of unexplored characters in the HANCOCK universe that would be ripe for a sequel and confirmed that we’ll definitely see the rumored HANCOCK 2 in a few years.
Next, Frank Miller talked to IGN UK about the long gestating Sin City 2 and got some encouraging words:
“Sin City 2 is written,” he told the site. “It’s mainly a matter of working out the details of the production. I’m hoping to do it with Robert Rodriguez again in the same circumstances that we did the first one, and we could be shooting as soon as April.”
And finally, Bryan Singer talked to UGO about his involvement in a follow-up to Superman Returns and this is how it went:
JH: But there is talk of a new film, though. Are you officially involved in this talk of the new film?
BS: I am not officially involved in the talk, no.
JH: But when talk happens they’ll call you.
BS: Well it’s, you know, I have relationships with Warner Brothers and with the character and, and, and, and it’s just the way things work out.
JH: But you are not divorced from Superman at this point.
BS: No.
