Sequels are scary. And making a sequel to something as good as 'Scanners' is even scarier.
Making a big life change is pretty scary. But know what's even scarier? Regret.
It's always scary when you're doing a sequel to a film, because you don't want to just repeat the first film in a different location like most sequels. You want to do something totally different, and something that actually expands the world of the main character.
I feel the way I always do about sequels. If there's an idea that excites me enough, and it feels like a way to do something new and fresh, then great. But I don't ever want to do a sequel just for the sake of doing a sequel.
I would happily have done any of the 'Bourne Identity' sequels. There are good sequels, but I'm not good at making them.
Sure, you could go out and make Jaws today. But all of the sequels to Jaws weren't good. They are all worthless. The Godfather II is the only sequel that I have ever seen that is as good as or better than the original.
I invite people to examine their lives without negativity, knowing that it's scary, but that not doing it is even scarier.
People will turn their noses up at a sequel or that type of thing, but Pixar really works hard - if they're making a sequel - to make a sequel an original movie, to make it an original story.
For us the acceptance of audience is important, we won't keep making sequel after sequel just for the heck of it.
I can't imagine making something that is made only to be scary. For me, the darkness and scary material has to have meaning attached to it, or I can't invest the time and energy it takes to write and script or make a movie. It has to mean something.
I pointedly avoid doing sequels, since for the most part I find that a sequel rarely stands up to the original.
Everything about 'Avunu 2' will be many notches higher than its prequel. The sequel is scarier, and there'll be more thrills and chills. I myself felt it when I was shooting.
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.
I've always made sequels, even when I was making Super 8 movies if the audience liked it.
I find it scary to sing - scarier than acting actually.
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!
I was also a fan of the first one Saw movie. I knew there was a danger in doing the sequel, especially like this. They have such a core audience for the Saw movies. The fans of the movie actually demanded a sequel. They were on the internet going crazy. I don't even go on the internet. I don't even know how all this stuff happens. But they wanted it and one the one hand that's good, because you know there's an audience.
