TED 2!

I heard this piece of news a couple of weeks ago and I have to say that it was and still is the best piece of news I have heard all year so far.

According to the Hollywood Reporter Steve Burke NBCUniversal's CEO has said at 'The Bank Of America Merril Lynch 2012 Media, Communication and Entertainment' conference that took place in LA that the big mothership of NBCUniversal Universal Pictures will focus more on film franchises and increase it's animated film output over time so as to strengthen it's film business.

He also said in this same conference session that his team wanted to do Ted 2 "...as soon as we can...".

But this next one will be of course directed by Seth McFarlane.

I have just found with the help of Amazon.co.uk that TED will be coming out on DVD over here in the UK on the 26th November, Woohoo! I can't wait!

He also said that:

"In terms of franchises, Fast Six will come out next year, and people can expect the studio to work on further Bourne movies after the recent Bourne Legacy".

Empire though doesn't hold out much hope for both these sequels, but I do have to agree with them at how the next Bourne  story has got to be a lot better than the story in the Bourne Legacy as I left the cinema with my dad after seeing this feeling a bit like there was something needed to finish this off and that it really didn't have much of a story and that it was more of a snowball film...meaning that it was setting things in motion and things were going to snowball into one big event.

But this sequel could see Matt Damon back in the fold as he has mentioned in a interview that he would like it if there was some kind of storyline where Jason Bourne and Aaron Cross team up in some way.
