Doug Liman tells Collider that wasn't the case here. The difficulty comes when a sequel moves forward simply because the studio wants it, even before there's a solid idea to ground the movie in. The movie was successful because lots of people went to see it, and that means there's an audience that, one assumes, would be interested in a sequel. Movie studios see a movie that's successful and they, of course, want to see more of that success. Movie sequels can be a tough tightrope to walk. And enough people said that to me and to Tom and to Emily that we finally sat down and said, 'What would a sequel even look like?' We ended up with Chris McQuarrie coming up with a great story. Let's just stamp out another one.' This sequel originated with fans of the original film who continually came up to Tom and myself and Emily and told us how much they loved the movie and would we ever consider a sequel. But it's one of these things where it's a sequel whose origins come from the best possible place, which is, it's not a studio saying, 'Hey, we think we can make some more money.
