Warner Premiere to spin-off direct-to-DVD sequels.

Warner Premiere, the division of Warner Bros. Pictures dedicated to developing direct-to-DVD movies, announced some of their upcoming sequel projects:

    • Beetlejuice
    • Return to House on Haunted Hill
    • Twisted Fortune
    • A Dennis the Menace Christmas
    • Under Siege
    • Space Jam
    • Dukes of Hazzard
    • Training Day
    • Dark Castle

Jeff Robinov, President, Production, Warner Bros. Pictures said that the DVD sequels “will have no creative constraints on them and should not be thought of as low-budget or second-rate in any way.”

Earlier this year, IESB revealed Premiere’s plans for a sequel to the 1987 vampire flick The Lost Boys involving surfing vampires in Southern California. (Various sources list the movie title as The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe.)

As previously reported, the direct-to-DVD spin-off Get Smarter: Bruce & Lloyd Out of Control will be in stores just 10 days after its main feature film Get Smart debuts in theaters.

Diane Nelson, President, Warner Premiere, said:

“Warner Premiere can provide creative opportunities — from exploring and developing back stories and lesser characters in existing properties to creating original titles that work better in the new media — for writers, producers, directors and talent that may not available to them within the established studio system.”
