Lots of sequel talk over the weekend (much of it from the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" junket) for some big franchises and potentials on the horizon: X3 Hugh Jackman recently spoke about the possibility of returning as Wolverine to Horror.Com and it all sounds good: "I'm contracted for another Van Helsing, but I'm not contracted for any more X-Men.
