About this ebook
Unnecessary Film Sequels delves into the realm of film franchises, dissecting those sequels that tarnish the legacy of beloved originals. The book examines the driving forces behind these unwelcome additions, such as studio interference and financial incentives, and their impact on how we perceive the original films. For example, sometimes sequels dilute original themes, mischaracterize beloved characters, and introduce convoluted plotlines. The book argues that prioritizing franchise expansion without understanding what made the initial film resonate can lead to creative bankruptcy.
Beginning with a definition of what makes a sequel unnecessary, it progresses through case studies, analyzing both critical and commercial failures, as well as sequels that, despite box office success, lack artistic merit.
Ultimately, Unnecessary Film Sequels advocates for greater creative control for filmmakers and a more cautious approach to franchise development.
