Valentine’s Day updates :- Valentine’s Day hasn’t even opened yet, but let’s face it, we all know it will be a rom-com behemoth that will crush us under the weight of its starpower. So why wait for something like reviews or box office receipts to greenlight a sequel? Variety is reporting that New Line has already greenlit New Year’s Eve, a “spinoff” of Valentine’s Day that will also be directed by Garry .

which features an all-star lineup that includes Jessica Biel, Ashton Kutcher, Jamie Foxx, Patrick Dempsey, and Julia Roberts — opens in theaters this Friday, Feb. 12, just in time for the most romantic day of the year on Sunday. And anticipating a huge opening weekend for the romantic blockbuster, producers at New Line Cinema are already busily working on a sequel to the ensemble comedy, Variety said Monday.

Director Garry Marshall is stepping behind the camera again to helm the buzzed-about follow-up, New Year’s Eve. The Valentine’s Day sequel will feature many of the same characters descending on New York City on Dec. 31 to watch the old year turn into a new one filled with possibilities, according to the trade paper.

The film is slated for release late next year.
