I'm excited to read about some up coming sequels. (Most are will smith movies)

"I am legend" - I was very much a fan of this film (although the ending was a little dissapointing)
But I'm excited to have come across this exert about a sequel: "Francis Lawrence had confirmed that there will be a prequel and that Will Smith will be reprising his role. Lawrence stated that this movie would reveal what happens to Neville before the infected take over New York. D. B. Weiss has been recruited to write the script, while Lawrence would direct. Smith stated the film would have Neville and his team going from New York City to Washington, D.C. and back again, as they made their last stand.[65] However, it has since been announced that after meeting with Warner Bros, the decision was made to change the direction of the film and make it into a sequel, with Smith and Weiss both still involved.[66] It is expected for a 2011 release." source wiki.

"Men In Black III" - Loved the first film, second was not as good but still a blockbuster. MIBIII isn't confirmed but....: "

In 2005, Variety magazine mentioned that Sony was in talks with director Michael Bay to direct Men In Black III. Will Smith has expressed interest in returning for a third film.[11]

In 2008, fresh new rumours have resurfaced regarding a Men In Black III after an interview with Walter Parkes. On September 28, 2008 Parkes told Magazine Personality Parade in an interview, "The challenge is getting the script right and finding a time when our busy stars are available." .... "Everyone, including Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, wants to do another." source wiki.

"I-Robot" - Great film, trippy cinematography and awesome FX, also not confirmed but: "
In an interview with the website Collider.com at a recent
Battlestar Galactica event, writer/producer Ronald Moore stated that he is writing the sequel to the film I, Robot." source wiki.

"Cloverfield" - Lets hope they show more of the monster this time? "At the premiere of the film, Matt Reeves talked about possibilities on how a sequel will turn out if the film succeeds.[68] According to Reeves, "While we were on set making the film we talked about the possibilities and directions of how a sequel can go. The fun of this movie was that it might not have been the only movie being made that night, there might be another movie! In today's day and age of people filming their lives on their camera phones and Handycams, uploading it to YouTube... That was kind of exciting thinking about that."[69]

In another interview, Reeves states:

There's a moment on the Brooklyn Bridge, and there was a guy filming something on the side of the bridge, and Hud sees him filming and he turns over and he sees the ship that's been capsized and sees the headless Statue of Liberty, and then he turns back and this guy's briefly filming him. In my mind that was two movies intersecting for a brief moment, and I thought there was something interesting in the idea that this incident happened and there are so many different points of view, and there are several different movies at least happening that evening and we just saw one piece of another.[27]

Reeves also points out that the end scene on Coney Island shows something falling into the ocean in the background (pointed out by fans to be in the far right from the view out of the ferris wheel, a bit left of a boat sitting in the water seen falling just as the camera beeps), but didn't give out details.[27] (This is, however, many days before the start of the film and shows the two main characters on Coney island before they meet again at the start of the party - as shown by the date stamp on the footage from the camera. This relates to how events began to happen and the satellite which falls from orbit owned by the Japanese media company mentioned).

Producers Bryan Burk and J. J. Abrams also announced their thoughts to Entertainment Weekly about possible sequel(s). According to Bryan Burk, "The creative team has fleshed out an entire backstory which, if we're lucky, we might get to explore in future films".[70]

Also, Abrams states that he does not want to rush into the development of the sequel right away because of the first film's success, instead he wants to create a sequel that is true to the previous film.[70]

At the end of January, Matt Reeves entered early talks with Paramount Pictures to direct a sequel to Cloverfield, which would likely be filmed before Reeves's other project, The Invisible Woman.[71] Reeves now said:

The idea of doing something so differently is exhilarating. We hope that it created a movie experience that is different. The thing about doing a sequel is that I think we all really feel protective of that experience. The key here will be if we can find something that is compelling enough and that is different enough for us to do, then it will probably be worth doing. Obviously it also depends on how Cloverfield does worldwide and all of those things too, but really, for us creatively, we just want to find something that would be another challenge.[72]

In an interview with IGN, J. J. Abrams stated that they are still in talks with Paramount. Abrams thought (in his opinion) that it would be fun to work on something different. Matt Reeves and Drew Goddard have drawn up different stories for the sequel, but Abrams is only considering the idea of continuing Cloverfield. Paramount is still trying to seal the deal for the sequel." source wiki.
