A Quote by Harold Ramis

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

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 thought I was done making CIA movies after 'The Bourne Identity.' I really had used my father's work in Iran-Contra on 'The Bourne Identity.' You get one experience like that in your life where you have personal exposure to something, and you put it in a movie. That's it.

Doug Liman

Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels.

Andrew Stanton

Sequels are scary. And making a sequel to something as good as 'Scanners' is even scarier.

David Hewlett

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've never had good fortune with sequels. Everyone says this time is going to be better. And then I've done them and they've just been not - they weren't better.

Sandra Bullock

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

When you have films like 'Bourne' that succeed, not only does it beget sequels, but it begets people taking chances.

Doug Liman

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 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'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.
