If I was to really write about what my headline implies, this could be a very long and detailed list. The history of film-making, the past several years in particular, is littered with ill-advised sequels. Movies that were mediocre (at best) have somehow managed to wrangle sequels.
Take Piranha II: The Spawning, for example. Was Piranha such a blockbusting success that a sequel was called for? Probably not.
No, Piranha II was not James Cameron’s most shining moment. Yes, THAT James Cameron. He was the director. You might remember him from a slightly more commercially successful film: Titanic — a movie that is not likely to ever get a sequel, right?
I am afraid you are wrong.
The A.V. Club reports that “Titanic II is real and there’s a trailer.”
Strangely, I have an urge to see this film.

To be fair, I don’t think James Cameron is helming Titanic II.
Not that that makes it any better.
