Hi Sam.

Not really.

When Star Wars was about to be released there was some talk of a sequel, which became nine or twelve films depending on which interview you listened or read at the time and then after Jedi it was a trilogy and no more would be made and then it became only six films... it was just a matter of time before more money could be made.

I'm old enough to be generally cynical without this sort of thing happening to confirm my prejudices but at the end of the day it's the final product that now matters to me.

Once upon a time I would have been excited by the prospect of a new film in a series I like.

I will never be excited by an announcement of a new Star Wars, Alien or Star Trek film again but I will probably see them and contribute to the cash pile.

With a bit of luck they may even be good movies.
