According to various sources, Kevin Spacey is eyeing a sequel to “The Usual Suspects,” the greatest triumph of his career. Seeing as how nearly every character died in the original film, it ended with the perfect plot twist, and Spacey’s career has been in deep decline for six years, I’d love to hear any plausible explanation of how this idea could possibly work. This sounds like it could make “Be Cool” look like “The Godfather, Part II.”
I suppose I’d pay to see a prequel about the early life of Keyser Soze, but Spacey’s 10 years older now and couldn’t plausibly play a younger version of himself. He already tried that in “Beyond the Sea," and we all know what happened there.
