After 'Pitch Perfect,' I only want to be in sequels. No. 2 of whatever.
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.
The one thing I loved so much about making 'Pitch Perfect 2' - especially in comparison to a movie like 'Ten Thousand Saints' - is you can go and be yourself, and you just know that all your weirdness and craziness and imperfections are completely embraced and accepted.
I was working at 'New Girl' when I found out there was going to be a 'Pitch' sequel.
'Pitch Perfect' was my first screenplay, so it was like my little baby.
The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original.
I pointedly avoid doing sequels, since for the most part I find that a sequel rarely stands up to the original.
As we all know, sequels can be tricky.
I hate the idea of sequels. I think you should be able to do it in one book.
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 never actually plan sequels. They demand to be done.
