After running out of numbers with the sequels, it is only logical Hollywood will then produce prequels, maybe starting with Rocky -17 ?

But really apart from sequels Hollywood seems to run out of ideas. They should maybe quit concocted history loe U-571 or Pearl Harbour and make realistic historical films, like the flight of the Vimy from England to Australia, and such.
I love Science Fiction from books to films, but there are very few good SF books lately, and gaaawwwd SF is all about imagination and fiction. Why would they do the umpteenth sequel of Alien ?! They really seem to suffer from a lack of imagination and ideas

There is so much real good SF to make films from, from "The Forever War" to "Ringworld" to the "Gateway" trilogy ...

Greetings,
Catfish
