I'm very leary about an EQ2 and would only be swayed if Wimmer & Bale re-teamed.
For ideas though some fans have created several awesome fictions for the site that I had not before these thought would fit into a continuing story line.

I for one would love to see a prequal for Equilibrium which could perhaps show the early days of Preston and Partridge as second class clerics becoming first class and how Partridge started eventually to feel Ofcourse Bale as Preston and Bean as Partridge and Wimmer directing ;D

I'm going to start filming a short fan film for EQ myself, actually. DON'T TELL ANYONE! Lol, I found a black, double breasted coat that goes down to my knees at a goodwill store for $15!!!!!!!! IT'S AWESOME!!!!!! And I figured out how to make sleeve sliders. I also went out and bought a couple Walther PPK-7's, 2 berettas, and 2 pt-80's. All black, for the film. I'm playing a Cleric, but the film is going to be called "Clergy". You'll eventually see why;) Wish me luck!

Dupont - The Collage Years
The rise of Libria's most powerful man.
I was his homeboy in Collage so I think that would be a good sequel

yes, i can see it now..., DuPont: "We will embark on a spiritual Sex Quest, and at the end of this quest...Get Laid!"....no, but seriously, instead of prequels i hav had this thought in the back of my mind of havin a sequel. Like most sequels the action Will get BiGGer, but primarily it'll still be a lower budgetted film (that way, its no High-Budget Sell out) anyways, as i was sayin, It'll take place directly after the original movie, my idea is that instead of Libria being the only city left in the world, there will be an even bigger city. Lets just call it "mother Libria" for names sake, cause after WW3, all of the survivors from around the world knew that in order to live, they must work together, so they formed one big conglomerate nation, with all nationalities mixed together, cause after all "to hell with religion, we gotta live". So once this became successful, they made Libria, a smaller city and sees if the "experiment" of emotional suppression works, and by the end of EQ where we know it fails....that'll be the beginning of EQ2. Now EQ2 will be that once Preston was able to "free the emotions" of Libria's ppl, he'll have to take on Mother Libria. Cause my idea is that, in EQ they mentioned that a council had elected Dupont to take on father's image, well, theis Council was never revealed, so what better way then to make this Council, the rulers of Mother Libria!? So Preston will have to take all the remaining Clerics, or Cleric Trainees in Libria, and deliver them to Mother Libria to kill the Council and liberate all, once and for all. But ofcourse these Council ppl are no fools, they'll have Grammiton Cleric Guards, all 20 of them and ofcourse the Council members themselves will be master clerics. So, it'll be like an awesome mini-war between dozens of clerics all shooting eachother out in synchronized poses, all mimicking eachothers moves and countering it, just so that another cleric can counter that counter...muwahahahh, it'll be a crazy shoot fest. anyways once they kill the council, it'll be the people who decides what happens, and ofcourse we get democracy at the end. We'll also see that the Gov't is corrupt in Mother Libria, obviously the Council "FeeLs", and we also get to see a wide range of emotion happen to Preston/Bale, like mourning for his dead love or dead comrades (fellow clerics) or having to slaughter ppl, because this time we'll see a lighter side of preston, like, as in, he doesnt want to kill and tries to solve things peacefully...etc...etc. Is it too long?

I don't think it's too long but it's just that you can't introduce new cities and people after the entire plot of WWIII was established in the first EQ. Par example, you just can't have a Mother Libria exist after no mention of it in the first. My opinion..

I read somewhere that the Libria society was in its early stages of evolution. It was founded some 30 years ago or so.
Now, Libria seems to be a pretty darn big city. Its beyond me how they managed to create that many skyscrapers in just 30 years... So I think that introducing an even BIGGER city would just be far fetched.

ahhh, you're right, i must of missed that somewhere. anyways, perhaps Preston and the rest of the Clerics take on the City???....lol, im sorry, but prequels just don't interest me, because they usually amount to nothing, cause we've already seen EQ, but if they made a prequel based on a different storyline, then THAT would be good.

actually, i just had a thoguht!, instead of Preston takin on an entire city, ill just use the plot line which i mentioned b4 and instead Preston and the rest of the clerics can take on The Council, in a bigger badder building!....it'll be like a whole war where its Preston, the clerics, and the rebels takin on the whole Libria army, Cleric guards and finally the Council!.......or maybe this is just a really bad idea.....i dunno

Perhaps.. New characters could be made. People like Resistance military leaders, etc. Though it would be kind of weird to turn EQ into a war epic. (Ok, perhaps epic is a wrong word, it the only one that comes to mind.)

Whatever the plot, it *has* to have Cleric vs. Cleric fighting. And I mean gun-kata, not gun-pushing (cool as that was). I can see it now, multiple enemy Clerics gun-duelling with Preston in the ruined wastes of the Nethers.... Deimos

yes! indeed! ...finally ppl agree with me...., Cleric vs. Cleric, It's the ultimate showdown! there's so many things that can be done with this idea..., imagine Preston and 20 other clerics VS. 20 guard Clerics. It'll be like once Preston does away with those regular Sweeper units, u'll see the 40 ppl fitin eachother in the wastelands of the Nethers. Then when each person runs outta ammo, they'll just simply take assault rifles (G36k) and Super 90 shotguns from dead guards and it'll be a major cool "bigass" scene with Clerics usin shotguns, dodgin assault rifle bursts, countering pistol shots and all that kik ass stuff...Not only that, but hopefully if they run outta ammo, they'd then have to proceed to pistol whip eachother , thus making a whole big melee scene with the 10 VS. 10 remaining clerics all whippin eachother and countering eachother, with dual pistols. plz, post ur ideas!

How about if there would be eventually a whole trilogy about Equilibrium? ;D It would be great if we could get a prequal and a sequal to this awesome movie and the world created by it. As I stated before I'd like to see a prequal about the first days of Preston and Partridge teamingup and maybe fighting against some powerfull resistance leader and the problems caused by Prozium I (before Prozium II). Eventually the resistance would be subdued after some twists and turns and both Preston and Partridge would be promoted to first class clerics In the process Partridge would have him self in the situation of finding him self fealing and falling in love with a woman from the resistance (you know who ). I really wish that Wimmer would be visiting these pages and as a writer and a director would be inspired to make a prequal/sequal or both ;D

Although the subject has passed, I think it was not such a bad idea to have a sequel with another city. I'm not sure it would be a larger libria, but it could be a neighbouring country or continent. I do not think this would disrupt what was the previous story line. First of all, it is possible that only the governing class would know of the world and what happended to it outside the libria walls. This could explain and legitimize further the presence of the police, which would not only be there against the resistence but also against exterior dangers. We could imagine that the council, or who ever governed, traded with the exterior. When you think about it, Libria had no fields, no trees, where does their food supply come from? I think that there is definite ;)ly room in the plot for more cleric against cleric action fighting and an expension of the distopia towards the outer world.

Few follow-up films rarely ever even match or exceed the original. I view this film simular to Blade Runner. I just don't feel or see the need.

I read somewhere that the Libria society was in its early stages of evolution. It was founded some 30 years ago or so. Now, Libria seems to be a pretty darn big city. Its beyond me how they managed to create that many skyscrapers in just 30 years... So I think that introducing an even BIGGER city would just be far fetched. I know that's what was said but I'm sorry; I'm just not buying it. Firstly, humankind is exceptionally resistant to change, good or bad. Take a look at England and the metric system; it was first introduced in the early 1970s (I think) yet thirty years on, we're still half-and-half. If you hand people a drug and say "Right, this is what's going to happen from now on; you're going to surrender all emotions, never read another book or listen to another piece of music...oh yeah, and we're going to burn everything too just to make sure" there would have been uproar. Preston makes a reference to the Upheaval (or Uprising) when he's talking to Jurgen, but we never find out any more about that. It's obvious that Libria, Father and Prozium existed before ("Father's never given a single audience since the Upheaval" implies that he gave audiences before). For people to accept, to forget what it was like to feel completely, will take at least three generations since any fewer can be told by their parents/grandparents. Given that a generation is defined as thirty years, that's ninety to start with. Secondly, Libria would have to have been constructed specially-I also refuse to believe that in this third world war, the opposing forces just HAPPENED to leave a city standing ready for all the survivors to move into. You would need to allow a lot longer than thirty years for that; bear in mind population reductions along with keeping people sheltered and fed as well as dealing with any births, deaths. You'd also have to gather your people; I imagine survivors of WWIII would have scattered far and wide, and you'd need a significant amount of time to get enough together to even begin repairs, much less construct the steel and concrete jungle that is Libria. Thirdly, and possibly most relevant to Equilibrium , Wimmer said himself that Preston was orphaned when he was little more than a year old and raised by the Grammaton Clerics, and that the Clerics were trained to fight from birth. It also says that the Clerics were implemented specifically to eradicate all forms of sense offence, which says to me they came along more or less at the same time as Libria. I had Preston pegged as being early thirties (certainly not much younger, given his high status in the Tetra Grammaton; promotions take time ) If Libria was established thirty years ago, Preston couldn't have been raised by the Clerics because there would have been no Clerics fully graduated to raise him. *looks around at bewildered faces* Okay, mathematically speaking...here goes: Let's assume full training is completed when a Cleric reaches eighteen. There would have to be fully trained Clerics in the Monastery when Preston was growing up there. Add the eighteen years of their age (minimum) to Preston's, and you're looking at almost fifty years instead of thirty. I think, realistically, it would have taken about ten times as long for Libria to become what it is now. *reads above post* God, sorry everyone...it's not like me to write essays like that I just felt it had to be said Thanks for reading!

i think another EQ movie might ruin the great thing that is there right now Gotta agree here. Not all movies need sequels, or prequels, though Hollywood wouldn't want you to think that! I love open ends, it's the stuff dreams are made of. It allows us to openly discuss what it "would be like". Wimmer has said that he's not opposed to coming back to this movie, but that he has no plans to do so at this time. If Dimension drove a truckload of money to his house, sure, he might come back to it; but what would that be like? I'm happy that he's moving on to different projects, and I'm excited to see him (Wimmer) grow as a writer/director. If EQ is any indication of how AWESOME Ultraviolet is going to be, oh man...
