Another Inside Man?
I haven't seen the movie myself so I can't say if its story's outcome warrants a continuation or not, but, despite its box office success, Spike Lee's INSIDE MAN doesn't strike me as the sequel-spawning type. Lee and mega-producer Brian Grazer apparently beg to differ, though, because the pair are developing a follow-up to the film. No word yet on what exactly what it would be about or whether the first movie's stars - including Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and Jodie Foster - will return to their roles and, while Lee is producing and already working on a script with, the original movie's writer, Russell Gewirtz, he's still in negotiations to actually direct this one. Should he decide to take that gig, he will have to decide if the sequel, over one of several other projects he's considering including the fantasy thriller SELLING TIME, will be next movie he shoots. So what do you think of all this? Make any sense? Perhaps this could be more of a thematically related sequel rather than a purely direct continuation?

Extra Tidbit: According to Lee, Ron Howard was originally going to direct INSIDE MAN before Russell Crowe lured him away with CINDERELLA MAN. Way to choose your "man" movies, Ron.
