I never actually plan sequels. They demand to be done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't know if I would do sequels. I almost feel like when I'm done with them, they're going to have to find their own way.
Sequels are desperate.
It's always an enormous pressure when you do a sequel. The demands are so high, and it's expensive.
I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.
I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies, and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.
I'm not big on sequels; I've done them, but I like doing little things that have their own timelessness to them, classic type things, and then you go onto something new.
I'm not contractually obligated to sequels on anything.
There's a real danger in doing a sequel. There are some benefits, but that all hinges on how well you execute. Quite frankly, most sequels don't execute well.
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.
I pointedly avoid doing sequels, since for the most part I find that a sequel rarely stands up to the original.
