\"Chronicle<\/a>
Chronicle was one of the surprise hits of last year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Chronicle<\/em> writer Max Landis has confirmed that he is still working on a sequel to last year’s found-footage superhero movie and that his latest draft was “really dark.”<\/p>\n

Speaking to IGN<\/a>, Landis revealed that, contrary to what his father John Landis said, things were progressing but scheduling and different viewpoints mean that the script is still a work in progress.<\/p>\n

“The truth is when you have a movie that was as successful as Chronicle<\/em> 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<\/em>. Josh [Trank] is directing Fantastic Four<\/em>. I’m doing a hundred other movies. Chronicle 2<\/em> has become this question of ‘How do we all make a movie that we all respect?’. And that’s true to what Chronicle<\/em> is.<\/p>\n

“There’s no one at the studio who wants to make a bad movie. They all want to make a good movie just as much as I do. We’re not fighting. 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.”<\/p>\n

Landis also stated, with refreshing honesty, that he’s “60-75% sure that it will be a pretty damn good movie.”<\/p>\n
