    Wishing for Inception 2

    I absolutely loved the entire concept of that movie. The whole dream setting allows for the most incredible movie scenes and ideas. Literally anything you could dream up.

    Would anybody else be stoked for a sequel like i would be? Maybe Leo could get that academy award hes been snubbed on. Lol.

    I'd only go for prequel, honestly. Cobb, Arthur, and Eames are involved in a pre-COBOL extraction heist. Mal is still with Cobb, they are in the U.S., and whatever it is that they do/did is every bit more imaginative than the inception job they did. More espionage and less action.

    Reason I say that is because I just think a sequel would make things too heavy-handed and say "We must up the ante. More 'splosions and slo-mo everywhere!" The best follow-up films that are made normally have the director and writer ask themselves: "What are the best intimate ideas that we can spill on this canvas while still being better than last time?" That's what I think Nolan did with TDK (and didn't do with TDKR), that's what I think Lasseter and crew did with the Toy Story sequels, and that's where I think most people want Nolan to take his career when Interstellar came in a somewhat less-than-blockbuster fashion.

    Otherwise, you're going to get a camp (especially in this thread) that will ask just for one-and-done. Inception was quite enough, and when you touch something and canonize it, it literally can ruin what the original gave us. They want Saw to come back, and I'm honestly hoping for a Jigsaw Chronicles type of miniseries instead that takes place in between the events of Saw II - VII. Shoot, even Nolan was looking at other outlets such as a video game for Inception. Some options are better than others for the sake of integrity.

    The problem with my idea of extraction is it's not as creative on its own as an inception is, which is why what would have been perfect is if Nolan planned a two-film arc to begin with and Inception was the sequel. That would have been very well served for audiences everywhere, especially because the "exposition content" would have been spread out through both films a little better.

        Sometimes you need to leave a story where it is, let the audience fill in the blanks for themselves.

        I dont have much interest for a sequel. Maybe a different story with different characters set in the same universe. But even that seems unnecessary.

          Some "sequels" work best that way. Connect the universe, not the characters. That's what they did for The Purge (thankfully), and honestly that's what they really should have done for Paranormal Activity (they do it "enough" I guess, but it could be even further separated).

            It actually worked really well for the Purge, because there was two points of view to that scenario so it made sense to show the other side in greater depth. The second was actually much better IMO

            Now if they go and make ANOTHER sequel, then that will be unnecessary.

              sequel, meh. TV pilot & series, I'd give it a go.

                The first Purge was not what a lot of people expected it to be.

                If Chris Nolan ever did a sequel I think it'd be damn worth it. He doesn't just make crappy sequels for the hell of it.
