But When? There is no telling when this could happen as Judd is a busy man but it might not be to long before something starts getting the Sequel going. Judd Apatow said he was intrigued by the idea during an interview with Getty Images Entertainment.
Judd Apatow:
“Yes… because I like the series that Truffaut made where he revisited the same character five different times in five different movies. I think it’s fun to see people grow up. I’m interested in it with Leslie (Mann) and Paul (Rudd)’s characters… Pete and Debbie… but I’m even more interested in [Maude and Iris’ characters].”
“When we first met Maude’s character, Sadie, she was 8-years-old, she didn’t understand where babies come from and know we see her five years later and she’s just cursing and screaming and having teenager problems so I’m thinking that maybe in the next one she’s in college…
“…or maybe I’m just lazy and this is a great way to make home movies…”
So if any thing does happen it would be 5 years later to keep things the same. I think this is a cool idea even though I haven’t seen This is 40 yet. What do you think of 1 more movie on this topic?
