Sony Pictures is reportedly already plotting a Goosebumps sequel. While the first Goosebumps movie hasn't hit theaters yet, The Tracking Board reports that Sony is confident it have a successful new franchise on its hands.

The report claims that Sony is already searching for a writer to pen the sequel, and that stars Jack Black, Dylan Minnette, and Odeya Rush are already contracted to return.

In Goosebumps, upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door. But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach's comes when he learns that Hannah has a mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine (Jack Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a reason why Stine is so strange… he is a prisoner of his own imagination – the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorize the town, it's suddenly up to Stine, Zach, and Hannah to get all of them back in the books where they belong.
