Found Footage and Sequel Madness
Posted by: | Comments
Found footage films are becoming more and more popular in Hollywood these days. Its most recent success story would have to be that of Project X, a film Barrett enjoyed. It’s been out for less than two weeks and already made almost twice as much as it cost to make. Anyone would call that a success. Anytime a movie is considered a success, it’s almost required there be a sequel to keep the cash flow going. The Hollywood Reporter has the story that writers Michael Bacall and Matt Drake will be returning to write a Project X sequel if producers Todd Phillips and Joel Silver are willing to return, and signs seem to be pointing to yes. The sequel is tentatively titled Project X 2.
Vince Vaughn has proven that his comedy star power is still going strong this weekend as his tropical rom-com Couples Retreat snagged the top spot at the box-office taking in a very solid $35.3 million. Three out of his past four comedies, (minus Fred Claus) Wedding Crashers, The Break-Up and Four Christmases all grossed well over $100 million domestically, displaying the affection most movie-goers have for the fast-talking funnyman.
