I am all for this. It's about time Disney gets back to making family-fare again instead of this "if it sticks to the wall for five minutes, we' ll make a sequel" mentality.Variety reports that Wild Hogs 2: Bachelor Ride is the third high-profile that Disney has scrapped since Rich Ross took over at the studio, joining Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Wedding Banned on the halted list.
The trade says the sequel was targeting a production start next summer, with Walt Becker back as director, and John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy reprising their roles.
Original screenwriter Brad Copeland had written the sequel script, and new writers were in the process of being hired. That ended this week, when word came down that the picture wasn't going to get made.
This shocks me a bit, because it seems in the past years the Disney studios have had the idea that it it works, drive it into the ground i.e. Air Bud films, National Treasure, manufactured Pop Icons (Selena Lopez, etc.) and anything they think will make a buck.
and you could have used so many other examples for "manufactured" than the adorable Selena.
