In the yawn and eye rolls heard around the world, Paramount has decided to market on many of its profitable franchises with the DVD market, thanks to the successful "American Pie" spin-off sequels.
Intent on reviving their once dead properties to join in on the money grubbing, Paramount has joined the fray, starting up a new division to develop and produce sequels, prequels and remakes of popular titles from the libraries of Paramount Pictures, Paramount Vantage, DreamWorks, MTV Films and Nickelodeon Movies reports Slash Film.
Amongst the titles that could be on the list are Beverly Hills Cop, Crocodile Dundee, Clueless, Collateral, Coming to America, Days of Thunder, Deep Impact, Event Horizon, Face/Off, Forrest Gump, Ghost, Grease, Indecent Proposal, Tomb Raider, Mean Girls, Mission: Impossible, School for Scoundrels, Star Trek, The Addams Family, The Brady Bunch Movie, The Italian Job, The Longest Yard, The School of Rock, and Top Gun.
No word yet on which well deserved dead franchise will be revived yet, but the list Dark Horizons scooped is most likely only the tip of the iceberg.
One can only imagine the quality we'll receive from a "Forrest Gump 2."
