Umm... they are making a Dragonball Z movie next and it'll probably be out before Tekken -- in fact, it'll be out later this year.

The Mummy 3... alright, that's terrible enough. But come on... Fast and the Furious 4? Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2? Seriously. Even Shrek Goes Fourth is really reaching for me.
Now, I liked I, Robot, but can someone explain how there's a sequel? Are they going down the entire series, or just written a seperate second installment that has nothing to do with the novels?

Actually, the film adaptation of Angels & Demons is going to be treated as a sequel, not a prequel, to The Da Vinci Code even though the book was published first. I guess it's kind of like the James Bond movies never being released in order of publication. Either way, it's still going to suck.
And Shrek 4 is going to be titled Shrek Goes Fourth.
