Unnecessary sequels, reboots and remakes
This list will feature the most unnecessary sequels etc. that are being developed right now. Sometimes it seems to me that creativity is dead, and those films are to blame for that. The future instalments in the Star Wars saga won't be on here, since I am, for some reason, cautiously optimistic about them -- but let's see where I stand on that after the release of Episode VII.

- DirectorSeth MacFarlaneStarsMark WahlbergSeth MacFarlaneAmanda SeyfriedNewlywed couple Ted and Tami-Lynn want to have a baby, but in order to qualify to be a parent, Ted will have to prove he's a person in a court of law.I'll give this one a shot. I really liked Ted when I saw it the first time, but after the second time I'm no longer so sure about it. Comedy sequels are often bad, and I really don't know what this one is going to be about. Storywise, I don't expect much, but hopefully some of the jokes will be good.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSam WorthingtonZoe SaldañaSigourney WeaverJake Sully lives with his newfound family formed on the extrasolar moon Pandora. Once a familiar threat returns to finish what was previously started, Jake must work with Neytiri and the army of the Na'vi race to protect their home.Sure, Avatar was a huge success and one example of 3D used to it's best effect. But what more is there to tell? I like the first film, but I think they should have left it at that. 3 and especially 4 fall under the same category for me.
- DirectorAnthony C. FerranteStarsIan ZieringTara ReidVivica A. FoxFin and April are on their way to New York City, until a category seven hurricane spawns heavy rain, storm surges, and deadly Sharknadoes.What is worse than legendary awfulness that creates a cult following? Dublicated awfulness that tries to capitalize one said cult status.
- DirectorPaul FeigStarsMelissa McCarthyKristen WiigKate McKinnonFollowing a ghost invasion of Manhattan, paranormal enthusiasts Erin Gilbert and Abby Yates, nuclear engineer Jillian Holtzmann, and subway worker Patty Tolan band together to stop the otherworldly threat.I liked the first two, but again a lot of time has passed and that will make it harder to recapture what was good about these films.
- DirectorTrish SieStarsRyan GuzmanBriana EviganAdam SevaniDancer Sean Asa goes to Hollywood and forms a group with Andie West and his friend Moose. Together, they will need to face the renowned Grim Knights in a famous competition.I am biased because I really don't care much for dance flicks -- but seriously: part 5?!
