After
the huge hit that was Chronicle, screenplay writer Max Landis, weirdly, got
fired from the sequel and recently went on Twitter to say what he had envisioned
for Chronicle 2.
“In
retrospect, I’m not even sure if fans of the first film would’ve been ready or
eager for my second installment as originally written.”
“Gone
was the aspirational “what would you do,” gone were the pranks and bromance,
gone were lovely tragic Andrew and hopeful, bright Steve.”
“In
their place was a dark, frustratingly unblinking stare into a complicated world
that posed the question is it worth it to be a hero, old from the point of view
of a heartbroken and insane woman who would martyr herself to the cause of being
the world’s first villain.”
“It
was, in my estimation, a sequel that elaborated on the ideas and situations
from the first to create a different genre of movie.”
“In
the best of worlds, in my optimistic but wildly prejudiced eyes, this could
make it an Aliens, a Terminator 2…in the worst a Grease 2.”
“So
at the end of the day, maybe it’s better that Martyr never saw the light of
day. Sad I didn’t get to do some of my other versions.”
“The
most frustrating thing is that I don’t know if I’ll get the opportunity to
explain what MOGO was or what he was doing in that cave.”
