A Franco-ly Amazing Idea: Has James Franco Joined 'Alien: Covenant' As Ellen Ripley's Father?
While the dishy James Franco may have dodged the lead role from upcoming film The Predator, could he soon be tooling up against another other-worldly menace? According to AvPGalaxy, the 38-year-old will be sticking on his space suit to get a great big face hug from Ridley Scott's Prometheus sequel/Alien prequel Alien: Covenant. We already know that Franco's long-term comedy buddy Danny McBride is along for ride, so could the pair swap side-splitting comedies for chest-bursting xenomorphs? Franco will reportedly play a small (but significant) role in 2017's species slaughter.

Jurassic World 2: What this sequel can do to not be a Jurassic Park sequel
When news broke of the Jurassic Park franchise getting a soft reboot, there were mixed fixed feelings from fans on both sides. Some expected the new chapter in the Jurassic Park franchise would reiterate what both Jurassic Park: The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3 did (poorly received reviews and ratings), and others were hopeful that a new entry in the series would breathe new life into Jurassic Park. When the new entry was announced to be titled Jurassic World, it was met with some skepticism. Despite the skepticism, fans were still flocking to movie theaters to see Jurassic World and the film made a huge hit in the box office as well as satisfying a lot of fans' expectations for a worthy, new chapter in the Jurassic Park series. After the release of the film, it wasn't long before talks began to float around of a potential sequel; Universal Studios was very happy with their new investment in the Jurassic Park series, with the film being the second highest grossing film of 2015 so it's obvious that a sequel would be in the works very quickly. And it has, a sequel was announced to be released on June 22, 2018. Both stars of Jurassic World, Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt will reprise their roles in the yet to be titled, Jurassic World sequel. Director, Colin Trevorrow is also returning to direct but will co-write the script alongside Derek Connolly. Having confirmation that the sequel is in the works, it leaves much to speculate on where a new chapter in the Jurassic Park series could go. The previous trilogy hit a variety of plot threads and Jurassic World returned the events of the film to a new park, which leaves the next chapter open to go in many different directions.

'Tron 3' No Longer a Possibility
The original Tron movie came out on July 2, 1982. While it is considered a flop, it did get quite the cult following, so much so that it garnered a sequel in 2010 called Tron: Legacy. While many of the fans seemed to have issues with it, financially it did very well with an estimated budget of 170 million to make, and grossing over 400 million at the box office.
