Spring Breakers: The Second Coming (D: Jonus Akerlund, W: Irvine Welsh)

Look at this ish: As first reported by Screen Daily, production company Wild Bunch is bringing a sequel to "Spring Breakers" to the Cannes Film Festival Film Market. The new film, titled "Spring Breakers: The Second Coming," will focus on what happens when the title partiers encounter "an extreme militant Christian sect that attempts to convert them." Irvine Welsh, the author of "Trainspotting," wrote the script; Jonus Akerlund has plans to direct.

As Wild Bunch's Vincent Maraval told Screen Daily, the new film will not be a "direct sequel" to 2013's "Spring Breakers," but will feature references to that film's original characters. Whether that includes James Franco's iconic Alien is unclear. The ever-quotable "Spring Breakers" breakout dies at the end of the first film (R.I.P.), but Franco did tell MTV that there had been talk of the second "Spring Breakers" film being a prequel.

"When we were making the movie, there was talk of a prequel. My character and Gucci Mane's character were supposed to have been former friends, so we at one time talked about, 'What was that like? Let’s make that movie!'" Franco said. "So there's that. There's a prequel version, or there's the version of Alien's friend or something. I don’t know."

Ashley Benson, Franco's "Spring Breakers" co-star and a survivor from the first film, also discussed the possibility of a sequel earlier this year.

I only finished like 1/2 of SB. It looked visually interesting but I kind of felt like it went nowhere from what I saw. Also... Was weird how that bitch wanted her grandma come there too. Lol.

The first film is oddly entertaining. I'll probably check out the sequel.

The word "iconic" doesn't belong in the same sentence with Spring Breakers. Truly one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Best film of 2013. I just don't see it lending itself well to a sequel.

Spring Breakers was awesome, it was a commercially geared arthouse flick and it succeeded on many levels.

I would be more interested in this if it were Irvine Welsh with Harmony Korine or something. I love Akerlund's music videos but think he's a lousy feature director. He knows how to show the disgusting side of life, but wades around in it, it kills the pacing and point - him and Welsh together makes me think it'll be an idiotic circlejerk.

Plenty of ppl hated this movie. Poor acting, unrealistic dumb characters. Weak plot. It's garbage.

Lots of people think lots of things. There are 1.57 million Muslims in the world. Does that make Allah the one true god?

Great art is rarely about consensus.

Spring Breakers looked and sounded fantastic. The soundtrack rocks. It's just the actual content of the film left much to be desired. It's esthetically pleasing, but not much more.

I don't know if anyone would be able to match Korine's eyes and ears on a sequel.

You are entitled to your opinion, and I am as well. Your opinion just appears to be in the minority here. If most people say a movie really sucks then I probably won't watch it, but that's just me.

If it's on Amazon, it must be true!

I liked Spring Breakers

You meant 1.57 billion, right?

That's why Only God Forgives was the best film of 2013.

Except for Franco's performance I did not like Spring Breakers.
Have to see it again to make my final judgement.

Only God Forgives? Amazon might have something to say about that, buddy!

No, in my world the dread Cthulhu is king of all. We're just mere motes compared to his awesome, terrifying might.

Since I still haven't seen the first movie, the article could've used a spoiler warning.
