Belated Sequels Balboa

If Gerard Butler can star in a remake of Escape from New York, then I can write a sequel to my belated sequels when no one is expecting it.

I doubt we'll ever see any of these in theaters or in our homes, but stranger things have happened:

1) AVPVE.T.: That lovable alien from the ‘80s is back to visit an old friend. Unfortunately, he's picked up some hitchhikers along the way. Can his healing metabolism cope with the parasitic alien growing within? The clock is ticking, especially with another hunter following him to Earth to destroy its ancient enemy, even if the host is sacrificed in the process. An Alien within, a Predator not far behind, and a planet unsuspecting. No matter who wins, we lose, unless of course E.T. wins. That's my catch phrase and I'm sticking to it....

2) Groundhog Day Break: Bill Murray is a weather man on assignment in Los Angeles, with the strangest feeling he's been there before. Taye Diggs is a tough cop who isn't a stranger to a day repeating either. When Murray's wife, played by Andie MacDowell, is murdered, Diggs is on the case. When the two meet at the morgue, they suddenly find themselves back at the beginning of the day, remembering what no one else does. Can they save Murray's wife? And will they realize in time the key role coroner Tru Davies plays? Bill Murray is a weather man on assignment in Los Angeles...

3) The Hands that Rock the Cradle: 15 years ago, Ernie Hudson played a mentally challenged but gentle caretaker who was instrumental in helping a family stave off a psychotic babysitter. Highly recommended, with each subsequent reference better than the last, he now finds his greatest challenge working for Britney Spears. When Paris Hilton drops by to babysit, Hudson's Solomon faces double trouble. Can he be an effective protector when the mom is as much trouble as the babysitter?

4) Laurence Fishburne of Arabia: In this epic instant classic comedy slash drama, the actor portrays himself in the role of a lifetime. Haunted by the ghost of T.E. Lawrence(James Marsters) after picking up his restored motorcyle at an auction, he finds himself drawn to the desert. Fishburne suspects he's lost his mind, until he comes across the ghost of Prince Feisal and witness Feisal’s followers transfer his spirit into a younger, living descendant, Feisal Ghul, played by Ewan McGregor. To survive, Laurence might need Lawrence to possess him as they learn to work together. Never before has the buddy comedy collided so perfectly with alternate history. Look for “Don't call me Larry!” to be the most quoted line of 2008!
