You know for years before the notion of sequels, actors were the franchise. John Wayne would rarely do sequels, but he kind of played the same guy with a different name in every movie. I have no problem with using actors as franchises. And that's what is fun to do.

Joel Silver

The thing I do miss about the way some sequels were in the past was that each film felt like its own unique, complete tone. Now, sequels are tonal facsimiles of the ones before them, like a television series, whereas back in the past sequels would often be radically different from the ones before.

Panos Cosmatos

I have to stay interested. I can't do the same thing over and over again, which is why I don't do - I've made sequels, but it's the movies that are not sequels that I enjoy the most.

Steven Spielberg

I take a firm stand against sequels. My industry brethren are a little shocked at how firmly I'm committed to not doing sequels.

Travis Knight

I think true connectivity is something that is rare in sequels. I mean I love the first 'Die Hard' film; you won't find a bigger 'Die Hard' fan than me. But I feel like with the sequels, they're just taking that character and dropping him in different scenarios. There's no real connective tissue.

Leigh Whannell

I would happily have done any of the 'Bourne Identity' sequels. There are good sequels, but I'm not good at making them.

Harold Ramis

I'm just trying to think what other sequels there were. There was the James Bond movies and not many. I think sequels have become a recent idea of franchising.

Ridley Scott

At Pixar, we do sequels only when we come up with a great idea, and we always strive to be different than the original.

John Lasseter

People talk a lot about Pixar going off the rails. A lot of people are saying they aren't happy that we are making sequels. But for every one of those people, there is one that is happy because they fell in love with the worlds we created. We hope we've proved that a sequel can be every bit as enjoyable as the original.

Lee Unkrich

You know you're getting older when they're making TV shows, sequels or plays for things that you did. It's very flattering and very humbling, indeed.

Winona Ryder

Most sequels are generally disappointments.

Ross Duffer

A lot of people ask for sequels, but what they really want is just to know the characters are happy and safe.

Kristan Higgins

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.

Anne Rivers Siddons

I'm still an English professor at Rice University here in Houston. They've been very generous in letting me on a very long leash to just work on 'The Passage' and its sequels.
