'Wild Hogs' sequel scrapped

"Wild Hogs 2: Bachelor Ride" has become the third big budget film that Disney has cancelled since Rich Ross took over control of the studio.
The Touchstone Pictures sequel to the 2007 hit was preparing to begin production next summer, with Walt Becker back as director, and John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy reprising their roles from the original.
According to Variety, "Wild Hogs" writer Brad Copeland had written the sequel script, and new writers were in the process of being hired when word came down that the picture wasn't going to get made.
It’s believed that one factor in the decision was the poor business of Disney's Becker-directed "Old Dogs," which starred Travolta and Robin Williams.
This comes after the studio yanked the Robin Williams-Anna Faris comedy "Wedding Banned" as well as a McG-directed "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" remake.
