'Horrible Bosses 2' expected to move forward with Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis
Director Seth Gordon also in talks to return
Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman in "Horrible Bosses".
Though "Bridesmaids 2" doesn't appear to be moving forward with the sort of decisive speed that Universal was likely hoping for, the prospects for another follow-up to a smash-hit summer comedy - New Line's "Horrible Bosses" - appear to be sunny at the moment, as The Hollywood Reporter claims the studio has signed a deal with original writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein to pen a sequel.
In addition, the first film's trio of put-upon protagonists - Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis - are expected to return for more "stick-it-to-the-man"-style shenanigans along with original director Seth Gordon, though none of the aforementioned have officially signed on.

DefRef Oooh, I like this idea.

February 27, 2013 at 1:13AM EST Reply to CommentI found the first movie very welcoming and enertaining, Great Movie, no question. Not sure if pushing out a sequel, just to push out another would be wise. I quess with an interesting story, maybe it could be pulled off. Should there have been a second "Tommy boy" just for an after story?
