'Troll 2' is one of the rare sequels where you don't have to waste time watching the first one, since the films have absolutely nothing to do with one another.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think you kind of need to acknowledge that the reason why sequels do well is because people that loved the first one come back.
You do sequels because they are tent poles. They open well, and they hold the tent up. But in between, you make a movie you respect.
I pointedly avoid doing sequels, since for the most part I find that a sequel rarely stands up to the original.
I don't like sequels at all. If the movie's good the first time, why bother?
I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies, and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.
A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don't want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one.
Second movies are great because you can drop into them, and it doesn't really have a beginning on it, particularly in a traditional way. You can just tear into it.
My gut feeling about sequels is that they should be premeditated: You should try to write a trilogy first or at least sketch out a trilogy if you have any faith in your film.
As we all know, sequels can be tricky.
I've always avoided sequels, unless I felt there was something fresh.
