We're The Millers sequel in the works
New Line is hiring Adam Sztykiel to pen the We’re the Millers sequel .
Millers starred Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Will Poulter and Emma Roberts as a make-believe family created by a drug dealer (Sudeikis) so he can bring 1,400 pounds of marijuana into the U.S.
The movie proved to be a surprise hit for New Line, grossing $150 million domestically and almost $270 million worldwide on a budget of only $37 million.
A sequel was almost a given but it is only now that the company is taking steps forward.
The four actors are expected to come back, although no deals are in place. Director Rawson Marshall Thurber also is due to return. The first movie's script was credited to the writing teams of Bob Fisher and Steve Faber and Sean Anders and John Morris.
Producing the sequel are Chris Bender and Vincent Newman.
Sztykiel is best known for his writing work on Due Date, the Robert Downey Jr.-Zach Galifianakis comedy, and Made of Honor, the romantic comedy that starred Patrick Dempsey. He also co-created, with Bill Lawrence, the upcoming mid-season NBC comedy Undateable.

The four of them trying to survive in suburbia could be funny assuming they go for an 'R' rating again.
Though the story will probably have them running across country from drug lords or something.

The fact that pot is now legal in Colorado should be a plot point, since the characters live there.

I loved the first one and would be down for a sequel.

I don't understand why witness protection would keep them all together if they were in danger and not a real family. You would break them up, but you know.
