    Chronicle 2 in the works

    FOX has set Max Landis to return and script the sequel to the surprise hit dark superhero found footage flick, Chronicle. Other than that, not much else is known about the project since it's in the VERY early stages of development.

    http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/movie/chronicle-2

    I'm down for a sequel since I really enjoyed the first and it was left open anyway. Would like to get a bit more backstory on the rock and discover if there are more people with powers out there Not sure how it'll work if they decide to go with the found footage scenario again though.

    I haven't seen the first one. I was going to watch it last week, but the time slots were to late.

    I too welcome a sequel. I was pleasantly surprised by Chronicle.

    Well it looks like the studio is giving Landis a hard time because he wrote a script that isn't exactly the same as the original.

    But Fox's planned sequel to the superhero story may have hit a small snag - the studio doesn't really like the draft written by original CHRONICLE scribe Max Landis. According to Max's father John Landis (AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON): “He wrote a sequel, and it’s amazing, and the studio read it and said, ‘We want ‘Chronicle’ again!’ And he said, ‘No, this is the sequel, it’s the evolution, and they said ‘No, we want that movie again!’ So it’s difficult, we’re dealing with a difficult business.’"

    It's good to see that they are giving the studio a hard time. The studio wants the same movie again and Landis wrote something completely different. Kudos to him.

    I highly agree. How about thinking that the first did so well because although it was a found footage movie, in a way it was ground breaking. Perhaps with the sequel not being exactly the same as the first may have the same qualities?

    I'm just afraid the studio will win out as they have a way of doing and we'll get a re-hash of Chronicle with different characters

    I'm not too worried about it. Sounds like just some idiots at the studio. I'm sure someone else there will realize that people wanna see a continuation and not a reproduction.

    If the studio wins and makes the necessary changes, and the movie fails at the box office, you'll see all these people hating on the makers of the film and not the studio

    glad he's sticking to his guns and glad this movie is (hopefully) getting the sequal that it should get. Its a movie like this that gives me hope when they say they wanna give superman a realistic look. I think well chronicle had a realistic feel to it and they were flying in that so maybe it'll work.

    Yeah, Chronicle was a good film. They were able to give super powers a realistic feel, which I highly enjoyed. I would like to see a sequel. Not sure if I'd want it to be another 'found footage' format though.

    I wouldn't mind a mix of FF and traditional format for the sequel.

    Chronicle was a hit , I felt like I was watching an Akira rip-off when I saw it.

    CHRONICLE was a surprisingly good entry into the found footage and superhero genres. When word came down that director Josh Trank and screenwriter Max Landis were hitting a wall with the proposed sequel, I was disappointed. After the success of the first movie at the box office, a sequel seemed like a lock, but it sounded like the studio did not like Landis' script. Well now Landis is saying that is simply not true.

    During an interview with IGN, Landis refutes his father, John Landis, who claimed the studio wanted a copy of the original film:

    "CHRONICLE 2 is in an interesting place right now. It's moving along”, Landis Jr explained. “There was this whole announcement that they wanted to just do the same thing again because my father said that. My father is not involved in CHRONICLE 2. He doesn't know the process. It was not his place to say that.
    “The truth is when you have a movie that was as successful as CHRONICLE was, it's not as quick of a process. There are a lot more voices coming in and saying 'This is what the sequel should be' because there's a bigger expectation and a bigger fear of failure. And that's really what's going on with CHRONICLE 2."
    That all makes sense, plus director Josh Trank is in the midst of the FANTASTIC FOUR reboot and Landis has other films he is working on. CHRONICLE 2 seems to be that rare studio sequel where they actually care that the screenwriter and director want to create something good instead of churning out another one right away. CHRONICLE is low budgeted in terms of superhero movies go, so it isn't causing a major profit loss to wait on it.

    Landis also shed some light on what to expect from CHRONICLE 2 in terms of tone and mood:

    “The report came out that they didn't like my script. They liked my script. It's just a really dark script. The question is more of 'How do we all compromise to get something we want?' And that's an incredibly slow process. Landis concluded by stating that CHRONICLE 2 will definitely happen, and claiming to be “60-75% sure that it will be a pretty damn good movie.”
    For those who have seen CHRONICLE, the movie ends in an ambiguous way that could lead to any number of sequels. Whether the found footage style will be retained seems to be unknown at this point, but I would venture to guess they would.

    Max Landis has left the project due to creative differences.

    FUCK!!! He lost the fight with the studio. FUCK YOU, FOX!!!

    Well, definitely skipping this sequel stinker. Seriously, fuck that studio, FUCK THEM!!

    The first Chronicle was great surprisingly dark with some great set action set pieces at the end. Hope the sequel lives up the first one. Is it moving away from the found footage theme? is that what the studio has a problem with?
