Sequel to 1995’s Before Sunrise continues the story of a one-night meeting BERLIN (AP) — Film sequels tend to follow quickly on the heels of box-office successes but co-star Julie Delpy said Tuesday that Richard Linklater’s Before Sunset was motivated by a feeling that “something was missing.”The movie — a follow-up to Linklater’s critically acclaimed 1995 romance Before Sunrise — features Delpy and Ethan Hawke revisiting their roles as Celine and Jesse, two young people who meet on a train and spend a night together discussing life and love.Their 14-hour relationship ends at a Vienna train station, with the pair vowing to meet each other again in six months.Hawke, Delpy and Linklater — who share screenwriting credits — all said as the sequel premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival that they’d been looking for a way to continue the story.“I felt something was missing until I did this film,” Delpy said. “Somehow I felt I needed to say more.”The sequel picks up nine years later in Paris, where Celine lives and Jesse is giving a reading of the book he wrote about their one evening together. This time under the time constraints of a departing plane, the two once more delve into intimate conversation.“It has a weird connotation when you say sequel. It usually means, you know, economic interest,” Linklater told. “This obviously isn’t for that — we’re here for personal reasons.”“There’s not many sequels to movies that made less money than ours,” Hawke added.Set for a summer release in the United States, Before Sunset is one of 23 films competing for the Berlin festival’s top prize — the Golden Bear. Its predecessor earned Linklater a Silver Bear for best director in Berlin.

Then it becomes a tribute to Warhol and we can all go home.
Maybe they're doing this because they want some of that Lost in Translation action.

I'm sorry to diss people's favorite movie here, it just wasn't to my taste, and I can't imagine the sequel will be an improvement.

However, I think a sequel is doomed.
