Supposedly filming was done last summer and a release date for 2006 is to be announced. None of the old cast is reported to be in it, but we'll keep an eye out for cameos (although highly unlikely). Here's a quick overview of the story:

On a class trip to Europe Cory Carpenter, a teenage computer whiz, goes on the lam from the authorities, who have mistakenly pegged him as a cyber terrorist. While the technological infrastructure of the entire civilized world is apparently melting down, Cory, his beautiful classmate Anne Deville, and his nerdy best buddy Dale Darrow, manage to stay one step ahead of the authorities. However, Cory is later horrified to learn that his long time internet pal, Jay Forrell, is actually a government computer that has run amok and is about to hail nuclear disaster down on an unsuspecting planet.

Not much is out there as to who is in it or any other details for that matter. Hey, at least we have a title.

I was looking forward to this, but not so much anymore. Because I'm a sucker for these kinds of movies, I'll probably watch it anyway. See the trailer here:

As mentioned earlier, this is going straight to DVD and will be released in July.

I agree 110% with you. I was just hoping that it might be an inspiration for a new generation of techies like the first one was for me.

I finally got around to seeing this (unfortunately). Sucktastic doesn't even begin to describe it. This movie desperately aspires to suck at this level, as it would be a vast improvement. Ah well, maybe the next instalment will be better. They could get Matthew Broderick back again!
