Jackass 3 (working title) is the sequel to Jackass Number Two and is the third of the Jackass films. Steve-O confirmed, during his appearance on the Howard Stern Show, that Jackass 3 was indeed being made.[1]. Little is known regarding casting or production other than the fact that filming will begin in January of 2008.

Jackass 2.5, a direct-to-dvd movie, is expected to be released December 27,2007.

"I was told to rest up for 'Jackass 3' which will start shooting in January," he revealed. Apparently, this new film will be a pre-strike project, that could be released next year.

Even though some of the guys from the first and second movie have stated that they are not excited about a third movie, since it might kill them, the success of the franchise is difficult to ignore. Back in 2002, "Jackass: The Movie" earned around $80 million in worldwide ticket sales, on a $5 million budget. While "Jackass: Number Two" took in close to $85 million on a $11.5 million budget.


Minghags

Minghags, previously known as "Kiss a Good Man's a**" is the title of the film by director/skater Bam Margera.

The project was announced in 2004 but has been pushed back by other projects including Viva La Bam, Jackass: Number Two and Dream Seller ever since. It has been confirmed that Minghags is a loose sequel to the 2003 film, Haggard. Minghags doesn't have a release date, but shall come out on DVD around early 2008.This is due to the storyline in Minghags being built around the Garbage Juicer, which also features in the "Invention of the Future" competition in Haggard.

A piece on UGO.com listed the movie to be a Warner Bros. release and was to start production in March 2005.[1]

"Scene 2: Bam's finished his first screenplay for Warner Bros., Kiss a Good Man's a**, which begins shooting in March. That sets up what we're guessing will be the biggest scramble for bootleg dailies since Attack of the Clones."

An interview with Bam Margera in 2005 suggested the movie would follow
"a guy who invented this thing called the garbage juicer. You can take garbage and mash it into the trash can, and it has three spouts. You can choose delicious root beer, grapefruit juice or kerosene. This businessman steals the invention from him so the guy spends the whole time trying to d**k the businessman over."

A later interview with Suicide Girls later confirmed Margera had either moved away from Warner Bros. or the information was never true.[3]

"Then I have some meetings about this movie called Kiss a Good Man’s a**. We’ve been talking to this company called Radar Pictures. We’ve been rewriting it because we want to change little things about it. So we just finished the final script and we’re all going to read it today and see if anybody wants to make any last minute changes. It’s about a kid who invents this garbage juicer which basically mashes trash and out comes delicious root beer, kerosene or rat piss. You can choose which one you want to come out. A businessman sees the invention and totally claims it as his own. The young kid spends the whole rest of time getting it back."


The Dream Seller


The Dream Seller was a planned movie based on the Viva La Bam member and skateboarder Brandon Novak. An autobiography of the same title was confirmed as completed by Brandon Novak early in 2006 on Radio Bam on Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 28, Faction.


[edit] Plot
Set in Baltimore, Maryland, this movie is based on the life of Brandon Novak, who was ready to be signed as a pro skater, until at the age of 14, he began taking heroin and his skateboarding skills suffered. The film then follows his life as an addict living on the streets. One day friend and pro skateboarder, Bam Margera decides to take him in and help him get off heroin and back on a skateboard.


[edit] Status
The film had been in production, but was put on hold in order to film Jackass Number Two. Bam Margera will be playing Brandon Novak in the starring role. Script writing and filming is supposedly underway once more, and is constantly being added to as Novak reveals more of his past and anecdotes, some on Bam's radio show, Radio Bam on Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 28, Faction.

In an episode of Radio Bam, Bam Margera said that the script was written by Joseph Frantz, adapted from the book written by Brandon Novak, and then "Hollywood guys" re-wrote the script again, but completely missed the point of the movie and turned it into a skateboard film heavily featuring Tony Hawk.

As a result, they will be using Frantz's original script. Bam also said that he had lunch with a financer for the film (the owner of Bodog.com), and upon showing some of his previous work, without even reading the script, Bam received $5 million to make the movie. "Unfortunately Novak will not be in the movie", said Bam during Radio Bam on 10/8/07. So playing Brandon Novak will be none other than Bam.
