JM: I started to get carried away a year ago before post with the idea of trying to pitch a sequel or Boone as a TV show. Then I took a step back from that because I realized we hadn’t even finished this movie yet (laughs). As far as a sequel goes I’ve got a treatment already written. As a TV show goes I’ve got plenty of ideas in my head. In addition to Boone as a sequel or a trilogy or TV show I’ve got three other action comedies that are in various stages. One is maybe a polish or two from being ready to go and the two others are getting close too. The point of doing this movie is that I want to be in the entertainment business in the capacity of creating content. Writing, producing and acting. I’m hoping that Boone: The Bounty Hunter opens doors for me in that regard. Whether it does or not is regardless because everyone that I’ve shown it to or has seen it has really liked it.
