ARE SEQUELS DESTROYERS OR BUILDERS?

A sequel can be described as a follow up of an original movie.Sequels are often witnessed in series.Sequels can mend,build or destroy an entire movie more especially if the sequel is wack(sp).Sequels come in handy on the part of movie creaters and publishers in general.


Sequels are attractive to creators and to publishers because there is less risk involved in returning to a story with known popularity
rather than developing new and untested characters and settings. Audiences are sometimes eager for more stories about popular characters or setting.


     biznerati takes both sides in this debate.First,sequels are 'builders' and often come in handy for the movie producers and writers.Think of wrong turn 2.Here is a blink of the plot from  Wikipedia

Former U.S. Marine Colonel Dale Murphy is hosting a survival reality
game show in the West Virginia forest, with contestants including: lingerie model Elena Garcia ( Crystal Lowe ), wisecracking
skateboarder Matt Jones also known as Jonesy (funny man), U.S. Marine officer and Iraq veteran Amber Williams ( Daniella Alonso ),
former high school football player Jake Washington ( Texas Battle ) and a goth Nina Pappas ( Erica Leerhsen). After Kimberly does
not show up, the show's producer Mara Wilson( M's gf) reluctantly takes her place.Then the game starts.


    So originally that was how the movie was supposed to flow from the commencement till the end but what follows up is a string of horrific events as the inbred mutant hillbilly cannibals take over the game.That's  when the sequel vibe comes in.And the outcome of it all is an interesting movie that fascinates the movie freaks and make them glued till the end(52:00).


  Remember the movie series SCREAM??Well it goes ahead to show that sequels get the movie going.The sequel in scream 5 was fascinating and it built the installment i must say.
Those are just a few examples of how sequels can build a movie or rather get the movie going.However,sequels have their downside.Sequels can destroy a movie if not well applied and this requires the movie producer/publisher to have A1 skills and wits to make the sequels have a positive impact on the original movie.I find the sequel in the first installment of the scream series rather a 'spoiler' (movie wrecker).


     Sequels also can leave viewers dissappointed especially in cases where the viewers anticipated the original movie to go as per the script only to find a sequel.And to make matters worse the sequel is way below average than the original movie.For instance,Wrong turn 2 the original script was about a survivor reality and we all expected the game  to go as per the script till the mutant rednecks happened(sequel).But the good thing is that the sequel(that centered on the inbred mutants) outdid the original movie.You see the trick??

What does the future hold for sequels?
-Well,From my P.O.V i see sequels have a great future ahead as more publishers and movie producers will pick up on the thread and expect to see more sequels.But only one caveat to the movie producers and publishers,please use your wits and skills and know when and where to introduce the sequel 'cause you fathom what a bad decision can do to your movie.Its a wrap.Till next time HASTA LA VISTA
