November 2, 2005 - Paramount Pictures topper Gail Berman has revealed the studio's plans to make a sequel to 2002's Jackass, the film version of MTV's popular extreme stunt/gross-out reality series.
Berman discussed Paramount's hopes to boost the number of comedies in the
studio's lineup and mentioned that Jackass II is currently being planned
with a 2006 holiday release in mind.
Jackass: The Movie proved a huge success for the studio. It cost roughly $5 million to make and ended up with a box office gross of around $65 million, their most profitable movie of the year.
There's no word on whether or not series star Johnny Knoxville, whose legit acting career is beginning to take off, will rejoin fellow maniacs Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius and crew. We'll keep ya in the loop.
