Gillian Flynn says there could be a Gone Girl sequel “at some point”

While chatting it up at the BAFTA LA Annual Awards Season Tea Party, GONE GIRL author Gillian Flynn told The New York Daily News she's open to doing a sequel to her hit book and movie. Flynn says if it is going to happen it won't be for a few years, and she would want director David Fincher and stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike involved with the project.

There could be a sequel at some point if everyone is game to get the gang back together, it could be really fun a few years from now. We could pick it up and see what those crazy Dunnes are up to a few years down the road and if they got on — not well I don't think. I would have to have the exact same people to do it — I would want Rosamund, Ben and Fincher to do it.

Although the way GONE GIRL ends (which I won't spoil for you here) leaves room for another movie, I'm a little surprised there's talk about a sequel. I think it's interesting Flynn doesn't specifically say it would be released as a film or book follow-up. Flynn did a great job adapting her novel for the big screen, and since she is also developing the upcoming HBO series Utopia with David Fincher, maybe she'll just write the screenplay for a movie sequel instead of penning a new Gone Girl book. What are your thoughts on a GONE GIRL sequel?

GONE GIRL hits Blu-ray and DVD today!
