Untitled sequel film (TBA)[edit]
In January 2021, Richard Kelly announced that developments are underway to expand the film into a franchise with intention being that the original cast return. The filmmaker explained that the original film is Chapters 4-6, while a prequel project will explore Chapters 1-3. Kelly stated that he intends to incorporate animation into the franchise, with future projects as well, while additional projects can explore events that take place in the plot's 2024 timeline.[1] Kelly later stated that he decided to officially write a sequel, following a conversation that he had with James Cameron regarding the first movie; while expressing regret for releasing the latter chapters of Southland Tales in the original film, stating that this placed the audience at a disadvantage in understanding the overall plot. The filmmaker stated that discussions are ongoing as to whether the projects should be released as films or in a long-form format through a streaming service.[2]
In February of the same year, Kelly stated that the project in whatever form it takes will likely be released via streaming, and that he has been working on expanding the franchise for years, though he began working in earnest following his conversation with Cameron. While confirming that the plot would follow the graphic novels he wrote, he hopes to include newly created additional scenes and dialogue incorporated into the original film via animated sequences; explaining that the sequel is intended to be viewed as a feature length sequel to the first installment, or that the 6 chapters can be watched as a limited series.[3]
