      It's probably because of some big company taking over the rights of chronicles, so he couldn't continue making the series how he planned, so fanfiction, the only place where he could do that, even if it's not 'official.'

      @ziggyz4892 5 лет назад +25

      I know this is a very late reply to your message but I wanted to add my insight. If you're curious the reason why shitty movies like transformers keep on going and good movies don't is because the masses don't care about a good story. The masses care about flashy flashy colorful explosions and guns and quick fast entertainment in your face. Take a look around RUclips. All the successful channels create content directing in this attention grabbing, please the masses style. Is it a bad thing? Absolutely. It's because of this that good storytelling and I mean GOOD storytelling has died.

    • @namedidii
      @namedidii 5 лет назад +5

      Ok i get what you're saying but district 9 is a bad example because that director has done a couple more movies with similar topics (using scifi to investigate apartheid in south africa and other race and class issues)

    • @clb6675
      @clb6675 5 лет назад +1

      ZiggyZ I’d like to add/ refute on that. It’s not necessarily what the masses what. What it is, is that the masses don’t know what they want. Their opinions are swayed based on how they’re sold, and not necessarily their merit. People think it’s big budget stuff because that’s what they’re most exposed to, and thus they develop a sort of “illiteracy” when it comes to movies. It’s not that they’re not smart enough to tell good from bad, but most don’t try to dig deeper than what is presented to them.

    we missed out on a great story, but it still manages to be amazing as a standalone movie

    I totally think Max Landis should, at the very least, try and get permission from 20th Century Studios to novelize Chronicle, as well as write the two sequels to complete the trilogy. Who else thinks so?

      Lowkey though there is a similar Anime not sure about it being a manga. It’s called Inuyashiki and I highly believe is was based off some of the events in Chronicle although the storyline is a little altered but still something interesting in my opinion

    When I first saw this in theater we were so excited and patiently waiting for sequels to explain what happened to them down there. As Matt says at the end he's going to find out what happened to them down there. When the trio goes back a second time the whole was closed up. So why was it suddenly closed up? Then police were nearby saying the ground is unstable. Either the government knew about it or someone was watching and they sealed it up. I wish Steve and Andrew didn't die. Because then the second film could of been them finding out what happened and exploring the world together. That would of been a great film. Maybe go in order you know? First they delevope the powers and get together as close friends. Then they discover what happens and travel the world and people start finding out. Then the first movie could of been the last movie when Andrews mom dies and gets fed up with his father and kills steve by mistake. Then leading to Matt killing Andrew and instead of at the end visiting Tibet. something else could happen. Like Matt stays to himself and flies around at night but fakes that he doesn't have the power anymore. That's actually an idea from r.l stine book how I learned to fly lmao. But something similar would be awsome. Instead of a fucked up ending like Matt getting caught by the fbi. Or maybe running into other people who have the same powers. They could do so many sequels prequels or spin offs it would be fun!. Same with the movie project almanac.
    But that was also the beauty of it. Of what happened in chronicle because it was a mystery and left us wondering and creating theories and never knowing. Directors like doing that to us. But he could of at least did 2 more films like originally planned.

    • @Inflec
      @Inflec 5 лет назад +2

      +Ashley Garcia - An idea that Max was originally considering for the sequel was to have Matt's powers develop to the point that he is able to travel back in time and avert both Steve's and Andrew's deaths. I saw this in an interview that he did on the SyFy Channel's website. But the sequel he ended up writing is Martyr, which Fox decided was too dark to consider producing. I think the time travel idea would have made a dynamite sequel.
