'Monsters, Inc.' sequel coming for sure?

There's been some talk recently about the possibility of a sequel to Pixar's excellent animated feature "Monsters, Inc.," and according to the folks at Latino Review, the sequel will most likely happen. Nothing is confirmed yet, but a source said "Monsters, Inc. 2" is in development.

It wouldn't surprise me if this turned out to be true. Pixar is already playing the sequel game with "Cars 2." It also released "Toy Story 2," and "Toy Story 3" is on the way. Let's hope this is not because of a lack of new ideas from the utterly creative studio. The "Monsters" sequel could be ready for release in 2012 or 2013.

'Enchanted, Inc.' coming to the big screen

Screenwriter Steven Rogers will adapt Shanna Swendson's novel "Enchanted, Inc." for Strike Entertainment, according to Variety.

The plot follows a small-town woman who comes to New York and discovers magic is and has been a common thing in the Big Apple for centuries. Because she has absolutely no magic inside her, she possesses the ability to see through any spell.

Rogers is the guy who also wrote "Stepmom," the decent romantic comedy "Kate & Leopold," and the disastrous "P.S. I Love You."

I haven't read the book and obviously don't know what happens to this woman, but at this stage, this all sounds like "Sex and the City" meets "Enchanted." But who knows, maybe they'll come up with something as enjoyable as "Ella Enchanted" or something. 

Swendson's novel first debuted in 2005.
