Director of Call Me By Your Name Luca Guadagnino is moving away from sequel

[MonSwiftAnton 3,765]

In an interview with Deadline he says:

“The truth of the matter is, my heart is still there, but I’m working on this movie now, and I’m hopefully going to do Scarface soon, and I have many projects and so will focus on this side of the Atlantic and the movies I want to make.”

To devotees of Best Picture Oscar nominee Call Me By Your Name who were hopeful for a sequel, Guadagnino made it sound doubtful. The whole thing has gotten complicated. Chalamet will be busy making blockbusters like Dune sequels and playing the young Willy Wonka, and co-star Armie Hammer has been dropped from numerous projects over troubling off-camera allegations. But the fact is that Guadagnino himself is busy moving forward on his own films. At one point he is expected to set a new writer (Oscar winner James Ivory hadn’t planned to return), but it sounds like the director has moved on..

Is there an actual book sequel or was this just a cash grab?

There is, and it's actually pretty good. A 4 out of 5 in my opinion.

There is, but nevertheless the fact that there's a sequel doesn't mean it's a "cash grab" just for being a sequel or not having a source material. The book was a sequel too, is it a cash grab also?

I'm just referring to Hollywood's pattern of making sequels left and right just to get more money of something and not giving it proper attention, come on, there are hundreds of examples.

But a story can have a natural sequel. Don't assume something will be bad just because.

I don't think anyone's saying that this doesn't happen but to just automatically assume that any sequel is a soulless cash grab is a little overly pessimistic is it not?

Most are. Specially when the original writer is not involved.

I mean he has a hand for horror too. His Suspiria remake is by FAR one of the best horror movie remakes of all time. It was amazing.

I've never seen the first one but it sounds horrible 

[bionic 50,107]

Potential for a sequel died as soon as Armie Hammer sunk (even tho I hear he's not in book 2 much?). Poor dat

I have no idea why @Bio lmao’d you when I detected no lies in this statement.

[LaLa 19,657]
