Warner Brothers Wants An ‘Inception’ Sequel, Here Are Five Ideas
A report has surfaced stating Warner Brothers wants to make a sequel toInception. In other news, Fox would allow James Cameron to make anotherTitanicand Universal would really like it if Steven Spielberg made anotherE.T.Hey Quentin! Miramax would totally love you to makePulp Fiction 2! George, let’s make a prequel toStar Wars! Oh, wait.
In all seriousness,Christopher Nolanhas pretty much stated that he’s done with this world and while Warner Brothers could technically do one without him, do you really think they’d risk the chance of pissing off the man behind their most successful movie ever,The Dark Knight?Inceptioncomes to Blu-ray on December 7 so conversations about its intricacies are about to start up again. So maybe now is the time, if there ever was one, to hypothesize about ways to tell more stories in this world.
The report of Warner Brothers wanting the sequel came fromWhat’s Playingwhose source said “All interest is on the studio side.” And I think, for true fans of Nolan’s, that’s probably the universal feeling. We understand that a sequel would make money but that’s not what made the first film so good. Other than theBatmanfilms, Christopher Nolan is known for either coming up with or finding original stories to tell us and he has no reason to taint that reputation. Expanding the story of Leonard inMementoor following the world ofThe Prestigeafter the fire would only cheapen the originals.
But, let’s surmise that Warner Brothers – somehow – decides to do anotherInception. Pretend it’s a foregone conclusion. Here are five ways that it might go.
What about you? Do you have any ideas that might work or is it totally 100% sacrilegious to even consider a sequel toInception?
