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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was concerned about doing a sequel and repeating myself. That was before I read the script.
By definition a sequel can't be original. So you've got to figure out what worked the first time around.
I think sequels should be earned and we won't do it unless the script is better than the first one.
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.
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.
I don't write any kind of sequel or remake.
I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.
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.
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.
