Baby Boy Sequel?

I barely liked the movie 'Baby Boy', but to put me through this -ish again, is just cruel. *sigh*... either way, Moviehole.com is reporting that director John Singleton is in pre-production on an unofficial sequel to "Baby Boy," the 2001 film starring Tyrese Gibson as a young man transitioning to adult hood amid the pulls of L.A. street life.

The sequel to 'Baby Boy', 'Fight for Love,' which will release in the fall, will include original cast members Tyrese Gibson and Taraji P. Henson, but in different roles. Soooooooo, how does that make it a sequel if they're not even playing the same characters? In 'Baby Boy', they played Jody and Yvette, a struggling couple with a baby. According to Moviehole, "Fight for Love" has Gibson and Henson playing Sir and Cookie, another struggling couple – this time dealing with two kids, disapproving parents and a number of external forces working against them.

Singleton once described "Baby Boy" as part three of his "Hood Trilogy," following "Boyz N the Hood" and "Poetic Justice."
