The word on the street, or at least the word on the Cinematical blog, is that there’s a sequel to War Games forthcoming:
The storyline, according to Production Weekly, follows a teenage hacker “whose world gets turned upside after playing an online terrorist-attack simulator game against a government super-computer designed to profile potential terrorists. All hell breaks loose when Homeland Security is convinced that he’s a terrorist intent on disrupting the fabric of society.”
Wow, why must Hollywood continue to ruin the much-loved movies of my youth? By the time I’m 40 I’m sure they’ll have decimated the Indiana Jones franchise as well.
This is going to suck.
Actually, a new Indy movie is apparently in the works, but Harrison Ford is starring, and Spielberg is directing, with Lucas producing, i.e. the whole original team, so there’s a good chance it will continue the proper tradition.
