Michael Bay and Doug Cook are writing "The Rock II", which has been in the idea-stage for the good part of five years. Plan is to still have it reuniting Connery/Cage.
Bay said that the idea is that the government goes after Cages' character because he got hold of that microfilm and so he teams up with Connery again and go on the run. Alkatraz will probably be incorporated somehow aswell.
Hopefully, after Bay finish with the Island and Bad Boys 3 he should start making it.

That's a really, really, poor idea. Alcatraz would HAVE to be incorperated in order to keep the namesake for the film, but what sense would it make? Alcatraz, after the original, was filled with dead bodies, nitroglycerin bombs, and whatever other hazards.
Just..pointless. Sean Connery has no reason to be involved, especially after escaping.
I'd love to see it but didn't Connery retire from acting? I thought he was only going to come back for a 4th Indina Jones, so maybe he would do this too.
But seriously though, the first movie was good and it ended fine. There is no need for a sequel, it wouldn't be any good anyway.. They should just leave it. Damn Hollywood

The Rock was good, mainly thanks to the fact that the three leads, Cage Connery and Harris are all great, much too good for action movies. But yeah, stupid idea, it's so obvious that a sequel would suck, I mean these kinds of movies are only ever good by luck, so sequels are bound to blow, law of averages. Look at the Diehard and Terminator sequels.
Good ideas for a sequel but the plot is similar to Enemy of the State. I would watch this if Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage returns with Michael Bay directing.
