7.18 Trouble For 'Chronicle 2':


I kind of knew that 20th Century Fox would find away to "F" up - the sequel to very awesome superhero origin film 'Chronicle'.. There has been rumblings for some time that the studio was not happy with screenwriter Max Landis script to the upcoming sequel.. Well today Max Landis tweets:

'Chronicle 2' is still probably happening, just not with my involvement as of now. It’s a bummer, but there are no real hard feelings,” he stated. “They hired new writers on it. I’m sure they’ll announce soon. Just hope this answers the questions I’ve been getting everyday.”

Original Film Plot: The shy, lonely and outcast teenager Andrew Detmer is bullied and has no friends at high-school and lives with his abusive and alcoholic father Richard Detmer and his terminal mother Karen. Matt buys a camera to film his everyday. His cousin Matt Garetty drives him to school and invites Andrew to go to a party at night. They meet their schoolmate Steve Montgomery in the party and they overhear a noise and find a hole in a field. They decide to explore the underground and they acquire powers. Soon the trio learns how to control their telekinetic abilities and Andrew becomes the most powerful. But he easily loses his temper and becomes dangerous while Matt tries to control him. When his mother needs a medicine and Andrew does not have enough money to buy it, his darker side overcomes and he becomes a menace...
