It's often been said that Hollywood loves a sequel, but there are some upcoming comedy seques that nobody could have anticipated. Classic comedies from 20, 30, or even 40 years ago are suddenly being given sequels. This isn't exactly uncharted territory, since franchises like Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop and Bill & Ted have all been resurrected in recent years, but there are some upcoming sequels even stranger than these.
Although each of the first three Ocean's movies were big hits at the box office, it seemed like a trilogy was enough. The announcement of Ocean's 8 therefore came as a surprise. Although this all-female spinoff also made a lot of money, it received mixed reviews, suggesting that there may not be a future for the franchise. Now, fresh reports about Ocean's 14 come while Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are still set to star in a prequel movie as Danny Ocean's parents.

Goldberg is the only star who has confirmed her involvement, so it's possible that Sister Act may try to hand the franchise over to a younger generation of stars like other legacy sequels. Madea creator Tyler Perry has signed on as a producer and writer, suggesting that he may also be in the director's chair.
4 Freakier Friday Last Movie: Freaky Friday Close Freaky Friday is one of Jamie Lee Curtis' best movies, but she entered a sort of semi-retirement shortly afterward to spend more time with her family.
