After all, what's a superhero origin story without a follow-up adventure?
Max Landis has officially signed on to write a sequel to "Chronicle," the low-budget sci-fi action film that's made over $100 million in worldwide box office since its release in early February, according to Deadline.
Landis wrote the original film, which follows three high school friends who gain superpowers after they come in contact with an unidentified object; after initially indulging in tricks and pranks, they soon grapple with the moral responsibilities that come with such abilities and must each ask themselves the ultimate question: Are you going to be a Good Guy or a Bad Guy?

'Chronicle' Writes Success Story At Box Office
20th Century Fox
Unheralded sci-fi/horror flick "Chronicle" wrote its own success story at the box office this weekend as the story about a group of high school students who suddenly develop superpowers topped the box office with a surprisingly strong $22 million debut according to Hollywood.com.
That was just enough to edge out fellow newcomer "The Woman in Black," which also took in a greater than expected $21 million thanks to a young audience made up mostly of female fans, no doubt due to the presence of "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe.
So how did returning films such as Liam Neeson's "The Grey" and Kate Beckinsale's vampire epic "Underworld: Awakening" fare? For the full box office report, including figures for the pro-whale weepie "Big Miracle," head to Hollywood.com.

Why 'Chronicle' Is the Coolest Movie of the Year (So Far)
Fox
As far as Januarys go, this was a decent one for movies — "The Grey," "Haywire" and "The Innkeepers" have all been solid, but now that February's here, I can report that I've seen the first film of 2012 that hasn't just tickled my nerd fancy, it has held it down and relentlessly assaulted me with an armory of movie feathers. (That sentence makes sense, I swear it.)
(And the film I'm talking about is "Chronicle.") Get More »

Next Factor Q&A: 'Chronicle' Star Michael B. Jordan

Remember that awesome kid on "The Wire?" Or maybe you remember him as Vince Howard on "Friday Night Lights?" He was also that sweet guy who dated Haddie on "Parenthood."
Now Michael B. Jordan is taking all those memorable, sweet qualities from the television to the big screen – it's about time! – in the new sci-fi flick, "Chronicle."
The movie takes a frighteningly realistic look at what would happen if a trio of high school boys from different ends of the social spectrum were suddenly masters of telekinesis. The trick to keeping the story "grounded in real life," Jordan tells NextMovie, was the level of collaboration director Josh Trank encouraged between him and the cast.
"We were constantly talking about what a high school boy would really do if he could move things with his mind," he explained, adding that the scene where his character, Steve, has a leaf blower move and lift girls' skirts was his idea.
All flashing moments aside, Jordan's soulfulness throughout years of television is just as evident in his latest film and, no doubt, will continue through many projects to come. Get More »

GALLERY: 'Friday Night Lights' Stars Ready For Their Close-Up
We have to confess: "Chronicle" inspired us.
Sure, we wish we could fly and move things with our mind, but that's not what we mean. Between Michael B. Jordan's excellent performances in this weekend's sci-fi flick and "Red Tails" and Taylor Kitsch's upcoming turns in "John Carter" and "Battleship," we figured it was time to pay homage to the (incredibly attractive) cast of "Friday Night Lights" as they're about to see their names in lights for real.
And, thus, we were inspired to create this gallery of the "Friday Night Lights" kids in movies, past and future. We urge you to click through with clear eyes and full hearts.
