Blade 3?

Dark Horizons reports: during an appearance on CBS's "The Early Show", Wesley Snipes talked a bit about the possibility of a third film: ""It's on. It's on. The response for Blade II has been so great, and the movie's not even out yet. But everybody's talking about doing it. Three's a charm". Does he have reservations like he did after the first film about doing a second? "No, not this time. Because our first attempt at the film was a noble attempt, but there were a lot of things we didn't really understand. We didn't really know what the world was going to be like". The first two film's writer David Goyer is set for the third and "has indicated he would like to complete a trilogy with a movie set in the future where vampires rule the world". Director Guillermo del Toro might also return.

Alien 5

Ridley Scott has been talking a lot about doing a fifth movie in the dying franchise but only under certain conditions.

"I'm seriously mulling it over. I think it would be a lot of fun, but the most important thing is to get the story right. I say we should go back to where the alien creatures were first found and explain how they were created. No one has ever explained why. I always figured that a battleship carrying bio-mechanical organisms that could be weapons was sent into space with some space jockey who didn't last long".
