Film Boss Wants Love Actually Sequel




The president of Universal Pictures has urged British director/writer Richard Curtis to come up with a follow-up to hit 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually.

The British film, which focused on several different characters trying to find love, was a big hit at the box office, and now Universal chief Eddie Cunningham is hoping to convince the film's mastermind to pen a sequel.

He tells Britain's Mail on Sunday, "I think there should be a Love Actually 2. I'd give it a green light. I think many American movies try to emulate that brilliant format where the stories interweave and no one's on screen for more than six minutes, but only Richard has achieved it. It really makes you appreciate the beauty of his writing."

Love Actually boasted an all-star cast, including Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Keira Knightley, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman.

Oh, yes please! Love Actually was 100 times better than Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve.....

Agreed. The sequel will fail, EPICALLY. Sequels are rarely good.

NOPE

Love Actually is my absolute favorite movie and it does not need to be tainted with a sequel. It is perfect as it is. Stand the fuck down, Universal.

Love this movie! I think everyone does, actually. I once watched this with a bunch of macho Marines after a night of drinking.

... and then there was a circle jerk everytime Hugh Grant came onscreen.

Awww I really liked that film. Keira Knightley bugs the shit out of me though. LOVED Alan Rickman though.

why not though, they could have a different cast, tell different stories etc could work imo
tammyinlalaland 14th-May-2012 12:54 pm (UTC)

I could live with that. Otherwise... maybe not.

As long as the only sequel thing about is the idea, not the story lines. Although ..

They just can't leave well enough alone.
violue 14th-May-2012 12:50 pm (UTC)
Nooo because then they'd have to create conflict in the lives of the characters that for the most part got happy endings :(

Idk. Why does it have to be replicated? Like movies are like cookie cutters and you fit stuff into them so that you can pump out the same thing over and over again. Hollywood should look at its box office and stay away from trying to 'replicate' stuff. Focus on making something new that combines the humour and romance that Love Actually had.

Sarah needs to fuck Karl.
silentxstrom 14th-May-2012 02:21 pm (UTC)
the only reason for a sequel imo.
kansassatin 14th-May-2012 11:39 pm (UTC)
That better be the ONLY thing to happen in the sequel.
buncha_cruncha 14th-May-2012 12:57 pm (UTC)
No. Just, no. It's perfect as it is.

If they made a completely new film with new characters, in the same style, then sure. But leave the old characters alone!!
