UNNECESSARY SEQUELS


WATCH AND VOTE!

Last month, we issued a challenge at FilmmakingFrenzy.com - make a trailer for a movie that would be a sequel to a Hollywood film that should never, ever have a sequel made.

Ninety-six filmmaking teams responded and said that they could do it, but six weeks later only 23 had managed to finish their trailers. Amazingly, however, all 22 of those films have something really cool in them.

We'll be showing the Top 10 films and awarding prizes at the BEST OF UNNECESSARY SEQUELS screening this Sunday night at the Ritz, but before we get there, I'd like to invite you to be one of the judges.

Head over to FilmmakingFrenzy.com, create a User ID, and you can watch and vote for your favorite films. We'll be pulling the list of the Top Ten by tomorrow night, so head over to Filmmaking Frenzy and be part of the contest now!

Need more convincing? Just look at all the titles we've got in this year's contest:

Alien Vs. Predator Vs. Rocky


Bonnie & Clyde: Resurrection
