We’ve got a lot to tear into, today: Pretty much everyone’s doing a sequel, you can buy Half-Life 2′s Gravity Gun, and 4chan straight up trolled North Korea. Here we go, it’s Nerd Porn.
It wasn’t until SlashFilm laid it out that I really began to realize how insane studios have become with their sequels:
- Jackie Chan joins Expendables 3, wants to do Rush Hour 4
- Dennis Haysbert talks about replacing Michael Clarke Duncan in Sin City 2
- Mark Wahlberg calls Transformers 4 the most important role of his career
- Michael Bay says that the “leaked” Transformers 4 script is a fake
- David Wain is definitely still working on Wet Hot American Summer 2
- Adam Green is excited to explore Victor Crowley’s story in Hatchet III
- J.J. Abrams has thoughts on the 3D conversion for Star Trek Into Darkness
- George Miller‘s Mad Max: Fury Road has finished shooting
- New images and plot details emerge for The Hangover Part 3
- A still from Red 2 shows off some godawful outfits
I… hrm. That’s a whole mess of sequels coming down the pipeline.

Full story’s over at the Wall Street Journal. And for the record, I think it should be Malala Yousafzai.
