How Exactly Do You Do A Mamma Mia Sequel?

Mamma Mia

Let's just say a certain jukebox musical based on the songs of a singular pop group is turned into a theatrical film. It moves on to become an extraordinary success. Though the producers contemplate the possibilities of capitalizing on a sequel, one member of said pop group says it just wouldn't work with their obscure songs.

In case you haven't figured it out by now, there's talk of a potential Mamma Mia! sequel without the music of ABBA. One of the film's stars Colin Firth says, "From what I’m understanding, the people who do want to make it are considering the possibility of using another bands music. Why not? But that’s speculation."

Rumor has it that Meryl Streep is on board, but co-star Amanda Seyfried doesn't think it'll work. “I don’t think that’s correct. I don’t think it’s accurate. Because I don’t see the point in trying to top something,” she told The Daily Express. Oh, silly Amanda! I think you'll see the point when they offer you the "Money, Money, Money".

  1. It’ll only work if Pierce Bronson’s charcter finally realizes his true feelings for Colin Firth’s character and they spend the whole movie naked in bed.

  2. sequels are typically made with blind regard into actually being well made… since usually it doesn’t need to be amazing, they already got their money bringing back the one-fans just in… after that it doesn’t matter 😛

  3. You realize that in the UK, Mamma Mia became the highest grossing movie of all time, beating out Titanic!!! Seems only logical that they’d want to make a sequel. The UK LOVES ABBA!!

  4. Godshall, if you thought the UK loved ABBA you should check out Australia where they worship them! One more reason I love Aussies! LOL.
    As for Amanda, take every opportunity you can get to work with and learn from the greats like Meryl, Colin, Julie and the likes. You might not have to degrade yourself with slasher flicks after such a blockbuster as MaMa Mia.
    Pierce, Pierce, Pierce. As much as I was in love with you during your Remington Steele and Bond days…don’t ruin it. Don’t sing in the future pics, your straining was too painful to watch (and listen to).

  5. As much as I’d like to see these three hotties running around shirtless again, I’m very skeptical of this. The ABBA songs (and said hotties) were probably the only reason I liked the first film (I normally hate musicals). It’s hard to imagine any other music that would work the same way.
    I do like wreckles’s idea, though.
