    Curtis advised IndieWire whereas selling his upcoming Netflix animated movie “That Christmas,” which premieres December 4, that he wished to do a “mini sequel” to the beloved 1999 rom-com as a part of Purple Nostril Day. Nevertheless, Roberts had points with the script thought, which concerned her A-list actress character Anna Scott divorcing bookstore proprietor William Thacker, performed by Curtis’ longtime collaborator Hugh Grant.

    Curtis beforehand has reunited the forged of his characteristic “Love Truly” for brief movie follow-ups that profit the annual charity occasion.

    When requested if Curtis would need to revisit any of his previous movies in a proper characteristic sequel type, he stated, “I don’t suppose so. I truly did 4 Purple Nostril Days and Comedian Reduction. We did these mini sequels to ‘Love Truly’ and people glad me.”

    Curtis continued, “I attempted doing one with ‘Notting Hill’ the place they have been going to get divorced and Julia [Roberts] thought that was a really poor thought.”

    IndieWire has reached out to Roberts’ representatives for remark.

    Grant additionally just lately stated throughout Self-importance Truthful’s “Scene Choice” sequence that he thinks his “Notting Hill” character is “despicable.”

    “At any time when I’m flicking the channels at house after a couple of drinks and this comes up, I simply suppose, ‘Why doesn’t my character have any balls?’” Grant stated. “There’s a scene on this movie the place she’s in my home and the paps come to the entrance door and ring the bell and I believe I simply let her go previous me and open the door. That’s terrible. I’ve by no means had a girlfriend, or certainly now spouse, who hasn’t stated, ‘Why the hell didn’t you cease her? What’s mistaken with you?’ And I don’t actually have a solution to that — it’s the way it was written. And I believe he’s despicable, actually.”

    And it looks as if a “Notting Hill” sequel that was not the “Hill” even Curtis was keen to die on: As an alternative, the author/director is making an attempt to concentrate on taking over new challenges.

    “I believe oddly sufficient I’m eager at this stage in my profession of doing new issues as a lot as I can,” Curtis advised IndieWire. “That’s why it was nice doing an animated movie. I’ve made, I believe, 17 movies. It’s fairly arduous for the 18th to be as completely different as this one is.”

    Curtis additionally made his music video debut with Ed Sheeran’s “Beneath the Tree.” The track shall be featured in Curtis’ “That Christmas,” which he wrote primarily based on his kids’s e-book sequence. Curtis defined how “Beneath the Tree” is his model of “500 Days of Summer season,” which is his “favourite romantic movie of the century.”

    And will Curtis make an motion movie ever? He isn’t against throwing his directorial hat within the ring for the Bond franchise.

    “I do know I wouldn’t be requested,” Curtis stated, including, “I’ve this joke with Paul Greengrass. At any time when he finishes a film, I say, ‘Would you like me to do a rom-com go on the following Bond movie? Somewhat bit extra kissing, a little bit bit extra household stuff.’ Perhaps I may carry true like to the Bond franchise, however I don’t suppose I’ll be requested.”

    Within the meantime, Curtis is celebrating the resurgence and lasting influence of rom-coms, citing each sequence “Colin From Accounts” and “No person Desires This” for being “fairly pretty” style additions.
