Jon Watts, the renowned director behind the Spider-Man trilogy, has a surprising connection to the horror genre. His directorial debut, the 2014 film Clown, was a supernatural horror movie that didn't quite hit the mark with audiences. But here's where it gets intriguing... Watts and his friend Christopher Ford had grand plans for Clown, envisioning a potential seven-part series. In an interview, Watts revealed their ambitious ideas, which include exploring the darker side of clowns and delving into the psychological thriller aspect. He expressed a desire to push the boundaries of the original film, creating a more intense and chaotic experience. But is this controversial approach what the audience wants? And this is the part most people miss... The original Clown, starring Andy Powers and Peter Stormare, tells a tale of a father's curse, turning him into a killer clown. While some found it too dour, Watts sees potential for a more thrilling and chaotic sequel. He envisions a story that could rival Evil Dead 2, taking the original's premise and running with it. But will the audience embrace this darker interpretation? And this is where it gets thought-provoking... As Watts reflects on Clown, he acknowledges the missed opportunities and the potential for a more intense, Evil Dead 2-style sequel. He asks the audience: 'Oh, we could have done so much more there.' Will we see Clown 2? Will it live up to the director's vision? Share your thoughts in the comments below. And this is the part most people miss... The director's journey continued with Cop Car and the Spider-Man trilogy, but he's now revisiting his horror roots. With Final Destination: Bloodlines and more in the works, will Clown's sequel plans finally come to fruition? Stay tuned, as the future of this horror franchise hangs in the balance.
