Reitman Says No to Juno Sequel
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Fox Searchlight, Sequels, Comedy, Rumors,
Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman has just given us the best and worst news possible. He loves his recent film, Juno, so much, he refuses to participate in any sequel. (Of course, that doesn’t mean one couldn’t be made without him.)
What? You didn’t know there was going to be a sequel? Well, if common sense rules - there won’t be. But apparently the movie’s $100+ million gross, Oscar noms and critical acclaim have earned the film just that type of buzz.
While some might consider that kind of talk disrespectful (Why would they dare ruin a perfect experience?), I think we should just consider the rumors to be a form of flattery (They only make sequels for good things, right?) and not entertain them any further.
Seriously. We all need to let Juno go.
