ROTTEN TOMATOES: Todd Phillips Discusses "Old School" Sequel Ideas

Todd Phillips Discusses "Old School" Sequel Ideas

by Scott Weinberg | September 18, 2006

Writer/director Todd Phillips ("Old School," "Road Trip") has a new movie coming out this weekend called "School for Scoundrels," and he took a few minutes to chit-chat with Gareth over at SKNR.net. Aside from talking about his newest comedy, Phillips also answered a few questions about "Old School 2," which looks to become a reality sooner than later.

From SKNR.net:

GVK: What is the latest on the next "Old School"?

TP: We are writing a sequel which is called "Old School Dos." No actors have been signed yet, and nobody has agreed to be in the film. The plan is that once the script is finished, we will approach the cast and go from there.

GVK: You had mentioned that you would have liked to have added more to "Old School" the main thing I wondered was why Frank’s wife was so afraid of seeing Frank the Tank again, shortly before his infamous streaking event. I had wondered what he had done in the past that had caused her so much concern.

TP: It is funny that you mention that as it is something that will be addressed in "Old School Dos," so stay tuned.

I hope it isn't a next generation flick. Old School wouldn't be the nearly as good if it weren't for the amazing cast.

Why do we need sequels all the time? Can't we just leave a successful film alone? Some films can use a sequel, but unneccesary comedy sequels tend to suck.

Is this a serious question? Do you honestly think Hollywood and the movie industry is about creativity and integrity?!

Come on man. It's all about the money. Always has been. Always will be. As long as jackasses support really shitty movies (like Fantastic Four) by PAYING for them, we will have shitty sequels.

Now ... I agree with you. 90 percent of sequels suck. But the reason is simple. People care more for the style and cgi bull than they do the story. The story faulters because the writers are like W.S Anderson and his Alien Vs Predator crap.

I would love another Old School as long as it has the same cast. And School for Scoundrels comes out not this friday but the one after. Jon Heder sucks.
