'Avatar: The Way of Water'
- 'Avatar: The Way of Water' was released on Dec. 16, 2022, 13 years to the day since the release of 'Avatar.' It's filled with stunning visuals, soothing music, and breathtaking adventure. The movie is set more than a decade after the events of the original and follows the Sully family, which includes Jake, Neytiri, and their children. Returning stars include Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and Sigourney Weaver, while impressive names like Kate Winslet, Edie Falco, and Michelle Yeoh have also joined the cast. James Cameron previously promised a mesmerizing spectacle that will do justice to the first movie but take us even further with the technology that has been developed in the meantime, and according to initial reviews, he has more than delivered. "I wanted our return to Pandora to be something really special. Every shot is designed for the biggest screen, highest resolution, and most immersive 3D available," he said. "I think we pulled it off."

'Rush Hour'
- The beloved action-comedy film series 'Rush Hour' last graced our screens 15 years ago. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker starred in the first three movies which were released between 1998 and 2007 to major box office success. Tucker started rumors of a fourth installment back in 2018, stating, "It’s happening. This is gonna be the rush of all rushes. Jackie is ready and we want to do this so that people don’t ever forget it.” Four years later, Chan has confirmed that 'Rush Hour 4' is officially in the works! While Tucker hasn't yet spoken out to confirm he'll reprise his role, his earlier comments suggest he's more than up for the challenge. The first three films were directed by Brett Ratner, who was disgraced in 2017 during the Me Too Movement. Multiple women came forward to accuse him of sexual assault and harassment, including Olivia Munn and Anna Paquin. Ratner has essentially been unemployable since then, so it's unclear who will take the helm of 'Rush Hour 4.'

'Princess Diaries'
- 'Princess Diaries' first came out in 2001 and was an instantly iconic role for Anne Hathaway, who also starred in the 2004 sequel. Now, 18 years later, Disney has announced that a third installment is on its way, and it's not a reboot! Aadrita Mukerji will be penning a script, according to The Hollywood Reporter, but there's no confirmation of Hathaway's return as of yet. She has, however, publicly stated her support for a sequel, and the hope is that she'll return as Genovian royalty. “I would more than entertain it, I’m pulling for it,” Hathaway told Entertainment Tonight. “If there’s any way to get Julie Andrews involved, I think we would make it work.”

'A Christmas Story Christmas'
- 'A Christmas Story' has been enjoyed as an annual classic ever since its release in 1983, but now it's getting a revamp. The HBO Max movie sequel, officially titled 'A Christmas Story Christmas,' released its first teaser trailer which is full of holiday nostalgia, from the “fragile” leg lamps to triple dog dare mistakes. The original Ralphie, played by Peter Billingsley, returns to his iconic role but some four decades later. He joins past cast members including Zack Ward, who played former town bully Scut Farkus who grows up to be a police officer, as well as R.D. Robb and Scott Schwartz as the double dog darer and the daree who put his tongue on the frozen pole. Also returning is Ian Petrella, who played the youngest member of the Parker household, Variety reports. The sequel was released on November 17.

'Clerks 3'
- Kevin Smith shared the details of the third sequel to his cult classic, 'Clerks' (1994). Smith, who wrote and directed the movie, as well as appeared in it as the beloved character Silent Bob, released the first sequel, 'Clerks II,' in 2006. Fans thought they'd seen the last of the convenience store crew, but Smith revealed that 'Clerks III' hit theaters in September, though it was only shown on two nights. The special screening events were accompanied by behind-the-scenes footage featuring Smith and the rest of the cast. The trailer revealed that Randal, lead character and convenience store clerk, has decided to make a movie about his life working at the Quick Stop following a major heart attack. The storyline was inspired by Kevin Smith's own experiences, as the director had a serious heart attack in 2018 which inspired him to change his lifestyle and become vegan. 'Clerks III' saw the return of all of the favorite characters from the original.

Can't wait for the next season of your favorite show to be available on Netflix? It's likely you won't have to wait a long time. Unfortunately, the film industry doesn't always move as fast. Imagine having to wait for decades to find out what happens next! Such is the case with some of the most popular movie franchises in history.
In 1996, the movie 'Twister' hit screens everywhere causing nightmares about tornadoes for millions of viewers! It follows a storm chaser (Bill Paxton) and a meteorologist (Helen Hunt) who are going through a divorce, but have to work together when a series of violent tornadoes start to break out all over Oklahoma. The cast also included the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman. It became a cult classic and one of the early movies to herald a future of extreme weather caused by climate change, followed by the likes of 'The Day After Tomorrow' (2004).
Universal recently revealed that a sequel entitled 'Twisters' is in the works and they've got an all-star team on board. The screenplay is being written by Mark L. Smith, co-writer of 'The Revenant' (2015), and 'Minari' (2020) director Lee Isaac Chu will be taking the director's chair. The cast has not yet been revealed, but a release date has been secured for July 19, 2024.
