Mark this one down under the “Best news I’ve heard today” category. Apparently Chazz Palminteri, who played agent Dave Kujan in The Usual Suspects has said that studio heads are “Beyond the talking stages” of developing a follow-up film which would probably be titled “Searching for Keyser Soze”.
The original “Suspects” is a mind blowing good movie… easily in my top 10 favorite films of all time list. If you haven’t seen it, shame on you. Get out to your local video store and rent it today.
Most sequels gets made for no other reason than to make a couple of quick bucks for the studios (Bad Boys anyone?), and that’s fine because it’s a business. But with The Usual Suspects, there is definitely more story to tell. The ending of the first film just felt to me like the beginning of an entire new movie to me. Get Bryan Singer on board again and you can’t go wrong. Holy smokes I hope this actually happens. Must go change my pants now.
