Amanda Seyfried recently shared how tired she feels about all the movie remakes and sequels coming out these days. From superhero films to animated stories and dinosaur adventures, it seems like new movies are mostly just repeats of old ideas. During a talk with Rachel Brosnahan, Seyfried said studios prefer sequels because they are seen as a safer way to make money. During the chat, when Brosnahan mentioned July’s big movies like Jurassic World Rebirth, Superman and Fantastic Four. Seyfried claimed that she now wishes to see more original stories in Hollywood.
During the chat for Interview Magazine, when Brosnahan asked, “What’s our Barbenheimer between Fantastic Four, Jurassic Park, and Superman? The people need you. Supertastic Park?”
Amanda Seyfried replied, “It’s Fantastic Super-park. It’s Four Superparks. Four Dinosaurs. Four Super Dinosaurs. I don’t know. I will say, there’s a little bit of fatigue with sequels. I want original content. I think it’s really scary and brave to do it. It’s not scary and not very brave to do sequels. It’s just for money and it’s frustrating. Then again, I’d do Mamma Mia 3 in a heartbeat.”
Even Rachel Brosnahan is eager to return for a Superman sequel, she said, “I’d come back. We had a great time. There are also so many people in this cast whom I didn’t get to work with. I don’t know why people say yes only to then turn around and complain about it. Look, I don’t want to shit on other actors, but there was a minute where it was cool to not like superhero movies and to look back on projects like this and pooh-pooh them. Do it or don’t do it, and then stand by it.”
Even though Amanda Seyfried feels that too many sequels are tiring, she also shared that she would love to do a second part of Jennifer’s Body. In a recent chat with Variety, she spoke with her former co-star Adam Brody about the idea. She asked him if he’ll join the sequel, but Brody pointed out that his character died in the first movie. Seyfried replied that Megan Fox’s character also died and she won’t do the sequel without her.
Brody then mentioned that since the movie had some supernatural parts, anything could be possible. As he tried to explain more, Seyfried jumped in and joked that he could return by playing the devil, saying it would be a great twist.
