John Cusack names ONE film he wants to revisit
John Cusack's fans would love for him to make a sequel of 'Say Anything'
John Cusack won’t be making a sequel to his romantic hits Say Anything and Serendipity.
During a recent screening of 1989’s Say Anything, John revealed that there’s only one of his movies he’d like to revisit.
"I was lucky that I never had the desire, or no one asked me to do any sequels," the star said.
"There's one that I think would be interesting to do, which would be 1408. Just because ... I think today, you know, most movies suck," he laughed and apologized to the audience.
He noted that while most new renewals fail to live up to the originals, the thriller genre is still going strong.
"There's still the horror psychological, you know, that Rod Serling kinda stuff," he continued. "That's still pretty pure. If you can pull off something like that, it's fun."
1408 belonged to the same genre and was based on Stephen King’s short story. The film followed a paranormal myth debunker (played by John) who insists on staying in the famously haunted room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel, despite many mysterious deaths occurring there.
This comes after Say Anything director Cameron Crowe revealed in his memoir that John gave him some wise advice during the making of the film.
In Crowe's memoir, The Uncool, he recalled that the romantic film was his directorial debut, so he had "all these people on my shoulder" watching over him.
“[Cusack] finished this take and immediately all these people were on my shoulder," he remembered. "Cusack's standing there on set, and he motions to me.”
"We go for a little walk. He goes, ‘I've worked with some really good directors. I've worked with Rob Reiner and John Sayles, and I just want to say I'm here to throw down for you,'" Crowe recalled.
"'You're going to meet other actors like me, and they're there for you. So when I finish a take, I don't want to look up and see a huddle of people whispering," he continued. "That s--- doesn't work with me. I want to see you and me locked in. Are we doing it together?'"
