I hate the idea of sequels. I think you should be able to do it in one book.
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.
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.
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.
You have to be very careful when you're working on a sequel, because it has to be a continuation of what you did before.
A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don't want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one.
I suppose sequels are inevitable for a writer of a certain age.
I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies, and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.
If I do do a sequel, I'm going to have to know for sure that the script is better than the original. So I'm going to be very careful about that because I'm not eager to repeat myself.
As we all know, sequels can be tricky.
I think sequels are fine if there's a story, so I think when there is a property that is worthy of a sequel, it could very well happen!
