SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 11 / -- Filming has begun in Vancouver on Revolution Studios' "Are We Done Yet?," a sequel to the hit comedy "Are We There Yet?"

A follow-up to the hilarious 2005 family comedy hit "Are We There Yet?,"(which grossed $100 million worldwide), "Are We Done Yet?" picks up where the last story left off. Now married to Suzanne (Nia Long), Nick Persons (Ice Cube) has bought a quiet suburban house to escape the rat race of the big city and to provide more space for his new wife and kids Lindsey and Kevin (Aleisha Allen and Philip Bolden). But when his new home quickly becomes a costly "fixer upper" and he finds himself at the mercy of an eccentric contractor (John C. McGinley), Nick's suburban dream soon becomes a riotous nightmare.
