Your phrasing was just confusing - like, they were planning to reboot the reboot. I was just pointing out it's already happened and continuing.
Nothing decent Sci-Fi related has come out on the big screen in a while that wasn't already tied into a known franchise. In those cases, I'd hardly call new found success of established series the next big thing. Maybe that movie with *shudders* Keena Reeves could start a franchise. I'm not talking about The Matrix. I'm talking about Teh Day Teh Earth Stood Still.............
Although I wonder who would go see a sequel.

ewwww...
a sequel to a movie that left nothing open...hmm, could be interesting. Sounds like what they did with The Mummy series, absolutely nothing left open for a sequel, but nevertheless and sequel there is, and a sequel to the sequel...
i hope they don't do that with The Day the Earth Stood Still

They just have to go through and make The Subtle Knife, then The Amber Spyglass. If you build it, they will come, yo.And hey, I might be right: http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/03/08/will-golden-compass-sequels-the-subtle-knife-and-the-amber-spyglass-be-greenlit/
"The Golden Compass" was pretty much everything you shouldn't do when adapting a classic book to film.
