I still think it'd NEED to be done by Kurt.
Nobody else.

Libby, I think that a prequel might work - making it is extremely risky and challenging, yet not beyond the possibilities of a talented director, scriptwriter (?) and cast. A prequel showing the fall of humanity ( III WW ) and the birth of Librian dictatorship could be awesome. I'm trying to imagine the ending of this movie, showing the triumph of Father and Libria. This would be indeed chilling, especially for those who do not know ( read: who haven't seen EQ ). As for the characters from the original movie - the only one who would fit here is Father. I can't imagine here Preston nor Partridge - let's leave them alone. But what about the Father's character, the members of the Council and so on... - there is so much stuff to play with... This comment might sound as a contradiction towards my previous one. But the idea I mentioned above simply fascinates me. Just MHO  My idea of a brilliant prequel, that'd really shine a MOST interesting light on EQ would be to make a totally seperate film - a kind of prequel - showing the rise to power of the Tetra Grammaton, as the good guys! Hence the sense offenders shouldn't be sentimental types, but more warrior types, that are left from the nuclear winter - total anarchy rules, and hence the people in the world are pretty rough and ruthless. They could do a lot of gun kata action with both Partridge and Preston, but in this movie I think the lead role would be held by Sean Bean, as we could watch him go from non-feeling killing machine to a sense offender. This'd be the main emphasis of the movie. Preston at his sides at all times, of course. Maybe even the two of them demonstrating some team-gun kata. Another important player in this movie should be Sean Pertwee, as the charismatic kind Father, with nothing but good intentions - to depict the "Tetra Grammaton good guys". Here we should see a little hint of scheming and greed/ambition from some of the council members (but nothing too concrete since that'd give away too much). Agh I need Kurt's address and a lot of printer ink ;D My head is flooding with ideas... |

Another idea could be for Partridge to consider taking on the Tetra Grammaton, but realising that he's not powerful enough... He could ponder different ways of getting help or creative ways of getting to the Tetra Grammaton, even debate taking out Father with Jurgen, just as Preston does in EQ. But ultimately realising that he would fail if attempting alone... because the only one who could do that alone is; yeah... But they could never convert him... no... never - that's not possible... right? |

Equilbrium should remain a stand-alone film.

It would be interesting to see a history of the rise of Father and the Tetragrammaton, but I don't think this would enhance the original film in any big way. Because EQ is about Preston's emotional rebirth, and the stuff about Tetragrammaton and the war are all background details whose only purpose is to complement Preston's character development. So, on a visual level yeah, it would be nice to see a prequel of some kind; but it wouldn't, for me at least, add much to the narrative completeness of the original film.

It is a dangerous thing - Miramax did not give the movie any further justice (no soundtrack - still the music is awesome, and poor dvd's into most of europe's distribution). That could mean that they would gladelly sell the rights to some ambitious director that would see a block buster potential in the EQ concept.
If that would happen to be, I would be dead scared to see what they come up with ( but in my opinion it would be a stripped down 'all gun kata kicking movie with no real story').
So no, I rather stick to the original.
What would be fun instead is home made Equilibrium movies - fans shoud take their friends and a cam a start making little EQ based short stories. IMO they are fun to watch and wouldn't soil the original.

I saw the thread title and thought, "Awesome! There's gonna be a sequel?!" and then I read the thread. It's all good though. I mean, I'd like to see what Kurt Wimmer would decide that happens after Equilibrium but then again... sequels scare me. And if it's by a different director or even if Christian Bale isn't it in, I'm turning my head entirely.
But it'd be nice to see a movie on what happens. Mainly due to the fact that I learned in history, after a revolution there's nothing but chaos and I have no imagination whatsoever. Yup.

also as badly as i hate to say it...we cant take another EQ... it would ruin the first one, and a prequil would be ok...but most likely not half as good.

Okay a prequel is a bad idea simply because we already know how libria came to be. We don't need explanations to how the gun-kata was created because Dupont already stated that it raises your shooting levels up to 150%. And as for a sequel I hate the idea of a sequel for this movie the movie a stand alone masterpiece why risk the possibility of screwing it up.

Everything that was to be told was told in EQ. No sequel needed!

I have an idea for a "prequel" fic that I think would be very respectful to the movie ... Father himself, a Randian (Ayn) technocrat, has a big role, that's all I'll say ... I'm sketching it now. But I also want to do a UV fic. Decisions, decisions ...

Because it is a redundant topic.   Here are my thoughts as I have stated in other threads. I personally do not think this film needs a 2nd take. I know I would not want it without Wimmer and/or Bale. Blade Runner certainly does not need a second film & I have no confidence that the studio would treat the subject with respect. That being said though, several fan fictions have brought up some interesting ideas for a prequil. actually I believe that there is a sequel book to Blade Runner I think the story is finished, the bad guys are defeated and really, what would the plot be in the next movie? everybody discovering feelings again for 2 hours? A prequel is an interesting idea, but it would probably just be the end of WWIII, the advent of Prozium, and the founding of the Grammaton Clerics. And of course the Resistance. Which... they already really explained. The gun kata and more stuff about the Clerics is the only really interesting sounding bit of that. |

actually I believe that there is a sequel book to Blade Runner Not by Philip K. Dick so I consider them little more than Fan Fictions. |
