EASY A Actress Aly Michalka Talks About the Potential Upcoming Sequel
Easy A was a classic teen comedy that came in the early years of Emma Stone’s career, with a solid teen-led cast, and a modern take on the classic 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter. While the film was a standalone success, co-star of the film, Aly Michalka, who played best friend Rhiannon, says a sequel is currently in talks.
In a recent interview with E!Online, Michalka, one half of the Disney-made sister singing duo AJ & Aly, said:
"There are talks that there might be a sequel. And no, this isn't just a rumor. That actually is semi real," with the small caveat that it wouldn't necessarily follow Olive (Emma) and Todd (Penn). She shares, "It would be kind of like a new retelling but you'd see some of the characters from the original come back into the story."
The report went on to say, “If that doesn't come to fruition, fans of the raunchy teen rom-com will be surprised to learn there's an unreleased R-rated version of the film out there. Described by Aly as ‘very raunchy,’ she thinks it makes sense that the filmmakers chose to go for a more family-friendly experience. ‘I think it probably made it more successful to not be an R-rated movie,’ Aly reflects, even though she thinks the original version was ‘great.’"
I am not sure how successful a sequel would be a whole decade later, especially without the main original stars. I guess it could work if it’s just in the same universe, and has its own solid story to work with. I guess we will see what happens. Would you like to see a sequel, or the “R” rated version of Easy A?
