What's next, Prequel or Sequel?

If ever there's a part 2, a sequel will be much better I think. R doesn't want a view of his past life and if it's a prequel, its Julie & the little Franco that will lead. Your opinion?

I honestly don't see what would happen in a sequel, they already cured the zombies and the humans are living again so what next? A prequel would be good but we want to see the characters together again not divided as their past lives.

Isaac Marion, the author of the book, wrote a prequel novella that's available as an ebook called "The New Hunger". It basically follows the main characters during the beginning of the outbreak.
He's also started working on a sequel, but it has no title or release date yet.

A sequel/prequel can't be possible without a great script I think. A prequel based on what Isaac Marion wrote might find less audience since the wm fans would surely hope for more of the romcom between R and Julie. If it's a sequel, the film might just be another generic love affair rather than sweet zom-com w/c made it a hit.

You're right, I don't think "The New Hunger" would work as a film. Audiences like the relationship between R and Julie and would want to see more of that, not a film that takes place before they ever met.
Isaac Marion's still writing a sequel which could possibly become a good film sequel. But the book won't be out for another year at the least, so there's no telling how that could work out.

Saying as this is based off of a book that is pretttty similar, I wouldn't expect any sort of sequel/prequel...

I'd hope it would a prequel. And there could be a back to back of R's life and Julie's. I'd like to know how the zombie thing got started. But sequels/prequels could either make or break the whole series. If there is one, I hope it's as good or possibly better than Warm Bodies.
