Chronicle 2 Gets Dark

It’s been a while since last we heard anything about the sequel to Chronicle known for now as Chronicle 2, but IGN caught up with writer Max Landis who delivered some news that’s music to our ears… if there doesn’t have to be too much compromise.

CHRONICLE 2 is in an interesting place right now. It’s moving along”, Landis explained. “There was this whole announcement that they wanted to just do the same thing again because my father said that. My father is not involved in CHRONICLE 2. He doesn’t know the process. It was not his place to say that. The truth is when you have a movie that was as successful as CHRONICLE was, it’s not as quick of a process. There are a lot more voices coming in and saying ‘This is what the sequel should be’ because there’s a bigger expectation and a bigger fear of failure. And that’s really what’s going on with CHRONICLE 2.”

Landis continues, “The report came out that they didn’t like my script. They liked my script. It’s just a really dark script. The question is more of ‘How do we all compromise to get something we want?’ And that’s an incredibly slow process.”

More as it comes.
