Mandy Moore said they're working on a sequel. The obvious question is...how could they make a sequel? Since she died, the only thing they could do is a prequel, but Mandy was 16 when they shot the movie, and she's 31 now. How is that going to work? if not a prequel, would she be a ghost?
share... And since we imagine that spirits don't age and, if the person was basically good, should appear beautifully cured of whatever took his/her life (even if it's just old age) and the first film had a Christian aspect, not sure how this would work out. Plus Landon would have remarried eventually (He did in the book.)
This isn't going to be some lame thing where Landon's and 2nd wife's kid gets involved with a doomed person like his/her Dad had done, is it? And the doomed kid's Mom just happens to resemble the Beloved Jamie, only what she would have looked like at 30-something?
Oh dang, I think I just wrote the story outline! You can tell when someone's seen too many highly-contrived sequels.
"Shake me up, Judy!"
He didn't remarry. I thought that too for some reason, but here is what it actually says.
"It is now forty years later, and I can still
remember everything from that day. I may
be older and wiser, I may have lived
another life since then, but I know that
when my time eventually comes, the
memories of that day will be the final
images that float through my mind. I still
love her, you see, and I’ve never removed
my ring. In all these years I’ve never felt
the desire to do so.
I breathe deeply, taking in the fresh
spring air. Though Beaufort has changed
and I have changed, the air itself has not.
It’s still the air of my childhood, the air of
my seventeenth year, and when I finally
exhale, I’m fifty-seven once more. But this
is okay. I smile slightly, looking toward
the sky, knowing there’s one thing I still
haven’t told you: I now believe, by the
way, that miracles can happen."
And a sequel sounds awful.
Maybe it's a reboot.
