"xXx 2"
Filmjerk reports that the film will begin shooting in mid-July, with locations set to include Los Angeles, Baltimore and the nation’s capital. Michael Roof will return to the sequel, reprising his role as National Security Agency techie Toby Lee Shavers. According to one source, “The sequel will find a new XXX program agent, Darius Stone, embroiled in thwarting a Washington power struggle.” That's the first we've seen of Ice Cube's character name. Willem Dafoe is being rumoured for the role of the Secretary of Defense in the film, whilst expect a major and tragic twist at the end of the film's first act.

"Beverly Hills Cop 4"
JB Films reports that Producer Jerry Bruckheimer won't be involved in the fourth BHC film - "Though I was not involved in the third film, we were exploring the possibility of a fourth installment of the BEVERLY HILLS COP franchise, but have decided not to pursue it at this time". Bruckheimer is busy working on "The Secret Dreamworld of a Shophaolic" and an adaptation of the game "Prince of Persia".

"Freddy vs. Jason 2"
Finally, Creature Corner spoke with Director Ronny Yu about the possible 'Freddy' sequel and aside from confirming the potential Evil Dead 'Ash' involvement and how it happened - "That's something that the studio came up with, they asked me and all the fans wanted me to do it as well, so I said yes, show me the script! I would definitely do it. They're still working on the script, I haven't seen anything. I hope they won't work on it for 10 years". He's next doing "Snakes on a Plane", described as "About a plane on the way from Honolulu to Los Angeles, and when they're halfway [into their flight], 500 poisonous snakes get released, and the first one to get killed is the pilot".
