A Quote by Christopher Miller

Sequels are hard. — © Christopher Miller
Sequels are hard.
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.
Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels.
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.
I take a firm stand against sequels. My industry brethren are a little shocked at how firmly I'm committed to not doing sequels.
I would happily have done any of the 'Bourne Identity' sequels. There are good sequels, but I'm not good at making them.
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.
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.
Believe me, sequels are just as hard to make as original films.
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.
Sequels are hard. What people want is to see the first film again for the first time and that simply isn't possible.
There are so few good comedy sequels. The only one in recent memory that's good is '22 Jump Street.' It's a hard genre.
Sequels are desperate.
I hate sequels.
As we all know, sequels can be tricky.
Sequels are always tricky.
I don't have to go back to Australia until next year to finish shooting [the "Matrix" sequels]. It actually works out great, because I have the time needed to support the album and tour. ... It's kind of hard juggling both of them, because it's double the workload. But the way I look at is I just let it work itself out, let it flow. If I don't think about it, it won't drive me crazy.
