Hollywood has proven one thing: When in doubt, go back to the source. Studios are churning out sequels, remakes, and reboots in record numbers every year.
2013 will see over 30 such movies and many are sure to top the year-end box office standings. Here are the franchise films you have to look forward to for the rest of the year.
'Evil Dead'
Release Date: April 5th
Type: Remake
Directed by:Fede Alvarez
Starring:Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Jessica Lucas, Lou Taylor Pucci
The remake has the blessing of the original director, Sam Raimi, who's onboard as a producer and the script was helped along by Diablo Cody ("Jennifer's Body").
'Scary Movie 5'
Release Date: April 12
Type: Sequel
Directed by:Malcolm D. Lee
Starring:Simon Rex, Ashley Tisdale, Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, Mike Tyson
Tisdale replaces Anna Faris but co-writer David Zucker should keep the trademark goofiness intact.
'Iron Man 3'
Release date: May 3
Type: Sequel
Directed by:Shane Black
Starring:Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Kingsley, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce
Based on the 'Extremis' storyline and featuring Kingsley as The Mandarin, IM3 is the darkest installment of the franchise yet.
