Anyone have info on the sequel that was planned?


When were the auditions held? Why was it never made? Did it have anything to with Maureen Marder (whose real life the film was based on) not wanting a sequel?

There were discussions about a sequel, but the film was never made. Jennifer Beals turned down an offer to appear in a sequel, saying: "I've never been drawn to something by virtue of how rich or famous it will make me. I turned down so much money, and my agents were just losing their minds."

The first one was such a huge hit that I'm surprised they didn't just change the focus to a different character in a similar situation. It wouldn't be the first time a sequel did this (Mannequin 2). New town. New girl. Same basic story.
