Universal Pictures wants a sequel to Love Actually

Highlights

  • Universal Pictures wants director-writer Richard Curtis to come up with a follow-up to hit 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually.
  • The film, which focused on different characters trying to find love, was a big hit at the box office and now Universal chief Eddie Cunningham is hoping to convince the film's writer to pen a sequel.
  • "I think there should be a Love Actually 2. I'd give it a green light.

It really makes you appreciate the beauty of his writing," Cunningham said.
