Last year, director Wes Anderson told MTV News that he always thought of his characters as all existing in the same universe, making it possible, if not probable, that they could cross-over “in a very natural way,” he said.
“It would be great to see [all the characters] meet,” Jason Schwartzman added.
The whole thing was wildly hypothetical, of course, but still, it got us wondering if there could ever be a “Rushmore” or “Tenenbaums” sequel. What’s not to like about that?
“I don’t know if you can revisit any of those [characters],” Luke Wilson, who starred in Anderson’s “The Royal Tenenbaums,” “Rushmore,” and “Bottle Rocket,” told MTV News. “Something like ‘Old School’ could be more of a sequel or something like that – and that’s one I’ve heard mentioned.
So no “Tenenbaums 2: Electric Boogaloo”?
“I would have no problem playing another character again,” Wilson said. “You just would want the movie to be as good if not better as the first one. You wouldn’t want to ruin the goodwill you’ve created with another movie.”
What do you guys think? Anderson’s films are such singularities, peculiar in their own ways. Do you think any of them scream to be revisited? Sound off below.
