In this episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a sequel that wasn’t originally in the plans, and a comedy where more spin-offs were due to follow.
After the very, very difficult shoot of The Bourne Identity, the key creatives weren’t rushing to return. There was little chance of director Doug Liman coming back either – and that meant a turn in a slightly different direction for the franchise.
With Bad Moms meanwhile, the hit comedy lost its original studio backer and then found a home that worked: but plans for spin-offs and further sequels soon hit the buffers. But not before a hit movie came together.
