Producers of movies always worry a lot about getting the same actors for sequels and signing them into multimovie deals. I think their fears are overblown. I’d love to see a sequel with a completely different cast.

Different director, actors, style, everything. It would be neat. You’d have a chance to tell the story a different way, to appeal to a different market, and to keep actor wages down.

Like, have the next Harry Potter be done as anime or something. Have Jerry Bruckheimer direct the next Pride & Prejudice remake.

I know that there is an emotional attachment to the actors, and this strategy wouldn’t work very well with something like a TV show, but still. I think it would be a cool way to tell a story and emphasize the thematic elements rather than the lead.
