Ben Affleck Says THE ACCOUNTANT Sequel Could End Up Being a TV Series

Ben Affleck and director Gavin O’Connor’s The Accountant was an incredible film. Audiences seemed to enjoy it, and I’ve been wondering if we would ever see the sequel that was previously announced.

Well, during an interview with Collider, Affleck offered an update on The Accountant 2, and he says that it could end up becoming a TV series instead of another movie:

“We’ve talked about it. There seems to be a debate whether or not to do a TV series version of it. The scriptwriter [Bill Dubuque] has become quite successful and busy, so he’s off doing his thing. And somebody said to me, ‘Well if we could find a script that we could retrofit and make into a sequel… But that’s sort of tricky because the personality of the character is so specific, that doesn’t really work to just say, ‘Well, we used call this script Action Movie Shootout, and now we’re going to call it The Accountant 2′.”

Affleck went on to say that he would “be thrilled to work with Gavin again and do that again.” He went on to say that making the first film “was a lot of fun” and added, “It was an interesting twist on the genre and I’d love to do it.” He went on to say, “And if they want to produce a TV show version of it and I get some royalties, well that’s great, too.” 

Regardless of what is being planned for a sequel, it would really only work and be worth it if Affleck and O’Connor teamed back up to do. I’d love to see the sequel done as a film or TV series as long as these two guys are involved.
