I don't really see how Michael could come up with an idea that would justify making a sequel. as much as I love this movie, my respect for it would go down if a half assed sequel was made.
some reasons I believe a sequel wouldn't work (Some Spoilers):
*one of the charming things about the movie was how you don't actually find out anything about Stephane and Stephanie. There are numerous debates on the board talking about which scenes were a dream, and which were reality. if a sequel was made, it would, in effect, answer these questions.
*I'm pretty sure I'll get flamed for this, but this movie didn't really have a plot. I mean the movie was character driven, and that's what the story revolved around. it's kind of hard to explain. but because the movie was so character driven, we got a lot of character development. if a sequel was made, it would have to either develop a new character, or abandon character development for plot (at least that's the way I see it)
*The ending was intentionally left ambiguous, but also closed. The ending doesn't really imply a sequel, but it does allow every viewer to imagine what happened afterwards. whether some believe he died, some believed it was all a dream, and some believed that it was all rooted in reality. whatever you believed happened, a sequel would change it (and in effect, render the ending pointless in it's delivery). this goes hand in hand with the first point.
anyways, that's what I believe. I could be wrong. Michael Goundry could secretly be making a sequel as we speak, er, type.
