Chris has said before that he's not doing a oner after the first movie, we did one that's twice as long, and now he says no more oners. "Should there be a third movie, I'm not sure how you top it. "I think we ought to wait and see how people respond to this movie," Hargrave cautions. With the series' none-too-gradual escalation in its oners, it only stands to reason that any potential threequel would go all-out to top what's come before.
