My favorite sequels are basically all Mike Myers films - 'Wayne's World 2,' 'Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me,' 'Shrek 2.' Anything he does, it's best the second time around. He needs to do 'So I Married an Axe Murderer 2.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My favorite scary movie was always 'Halloween.' I love that there's hidden emotion underneath Michael Myers' psychotic behavior. Plus, he has the best mask, hands-down.
I am a fan of sequels even though they are inevitably awful.
It's always scary when you're doing a sequel to a film, because you don't want to just repeat the first film in a different location like most sequels. You want to do something totally different, and something that actually expands the world of the main character.
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've always avoided sequels, unless I felt there was something fresh.
I've always made sequels, even when I was making Super 8 movies if the audience liked it.
As we all know, sequels can be tricky.
I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.
John and I had a few meetings about what direction the sequel should take. I made some real insane suggestions. True to what you'd expect, he ignored them all and just picked up Halloween II where the original left off.
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.
