Spacey for sequel
From Sydney Confidential
July 11, 2005
KEVIN Spacey will need to grow that hair back in a bit of a hurry - he's signed on for a sequel to The Usual Suspects.
And how does Confidential know this?
He told the woman who has been serving him his coffee while he's been in Sydney - and nobody gets better goss than baristas.
Apparently he's told Superman director Bryan Singer, who also directed The Usual Suspects, he'll work with him on the sequel to the 1995 film.
Bald as an egg, Spacey is in Sydney filming his role as Lex Luthor in Superman Returns but plans on doing some live theatre before going back to play the Suspects role.

If Singer, McQuarrie and Spacey are in it, sure. They should really just make it like a spinoff movie instead of a sequel though because all the Usual Suspects are well...dead.

They could call it Soze.

I don't see it happening, especially since the rumor seems to originate from someone that serves Kevin Spacey coffee
Any sequel would ruin the mystique that was set up with Kaiser Soze. I don't want to see Spacey mess with another cast of characters, or find out that

How does a sequel (or even a remake) somehow ruin the original? Has anyone ever seen a bad sequel of a great original movie and suddenly said "Well, that completely ruined the original movie for me. I can never see it the same way again."

Plus, people seem to be putting a lot of stock into what a coffee house server told a tabloid in Australia.

Highlander 2 ruined Highlander 1 for me. And I'm sure some fans of the original Matrix felt that the sequels "ruined" the original movie. Although you are right in saying that it shouldn't matter.

While I was never a huge fan of the original Matrix movie, I didn't enjoy it as much once the sequels came out. When you just have the one movie your imagination can fill in some of the backstory and missing pieces of information. The sequels came out and filled in some of those gaps and introduced new things which clashed with my preconceived notions of how things were and reduced my enjoyment of the original.
I remember reading a somewhat similar article around the time the third Harry Potter movie came out. Some kids thought the movies made the books worse because they had their own mental pictures of how all the characters and creatures looked, how Quidditch would look when played, how certain lines and scenes played out. Once the movie comes out (or in this case a sequel), it sort of kills some of that imagination aspect, things are more concrete. You can try and pretend the other material doesn't exist, but once it's out there and you've seen it you can't ever totally forget it.

While the prequels didn't really change my enjoyment of the original Star Wars trilogy, I'm sure there are fans who now can't help but notice all of the stupid plotholes that Lucas introduced...
