‘Valentine’s Day’ Scores a Sequel Before it Even Gets Released
Romantic Comedy to Score a Sequel Before Release
How much did you dig the Garry Marshall star-studded romantic romp Valentine’s Day? Oh wait, it hasn’t even come out yet. However, Hollywood is counting on you loving it; with a cast consisting of Jessica Alba, Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Patrick Dempsey, Hector Elizondo, Jennifer Garner, Jamie Foxx, Topher Grace, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner, George Lopez, Julia Roberts, Queen Latifa and Emma Roberts, how could they really fail?
New Line Cinema is already pushing for Garry Marshall to return to direct a spin-off entitled New Year’s Eve, to feature at least a few of the characters of Valentine’s Day. What’s more: they want to shoot the film at the end of the year and prep it for a 2011 release. Perhaps they’re just incredibly happy with the way the film is shaping up, or they just know the star-power leverage of the film is unbeatable.
Screenwriter Katherine Fugate would set the film in New York City on New Year’s Eve. We’ll be able to see if this is a good idea or not when the film is released on Friday.
