I've always made sequels, even when I was making Super 8 movies if the audience liked it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies, and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.
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 think you kind of need to acknowledge that the reason why sequels do well is because people that loved the first one come back.
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 don't like sequels at all. If the movie's good the first time, why bother?
I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.
I am a fan of sequels even though they are inevitably awful.
Sequels are not done for the audience or cinema or the filmmakers. It's for the distributor. The film becomes a brand.
I pointedly avoid doing sequels, since for the most part I find that a sequel rarely stands up to the original.
I've always avoided sequels, unless I felt there was something fresh.
