Most movie fans agree that the original is always better than the sequel. However, that doesn’t stop audiences from wanting to see continuations of their favorite films. That’s the case for The Holiday, a Christmas movie starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black that premiered in 2006. The Holiday is a must-watch during the holiday season, and fans are desperate for a sequel.
Some sources alleged that a sequel to ‘The Holiday’ was in the works
In early December, some news sources claimed they had sources confirming that a sequel to The Holiday was in pre-production. Of course, this made fans jump for joy at the alleged news. It’s been 16 years since the original movie premiered. And many would love to discover what happened next for Amanda, Iris, Graham, and Miles.
As fans recall, Amanda, a movie trailer producer based in Los Angeles, and Iris, a writer in London, swapped homes in The Holiday. Amanda goes on to celebrate the holidays with Iris’s brother Graham, while Iris meets Miles, who works with Amanda’s film composer ex-boyfriend.
The Holiday is a heartwarming Christmas romantic comedy that moviegoers adore. But sadly, it doesn’t look like a sequel is happening.
Nancy Meyers and Kate Winslet deny that they’re filming a sequel to ‘The Holiday’
Nancy Meyers, who directed, wrote, and produced The Holiday, took to Instagram to address the rumors surrounding a sequel.
She posted a picture of an article from Daily Mail Celebrity that claimed, “Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet ‘sign on for The Holiday sequel.’” Meyers’ caption read, “So many DM’s about this — sorry, but it’s not true.”
Kate Winslet also told People, “I read something about [The Holiday sequel], but it’s the first I’ve heard of it. I promise you not an agent or a representative or anyone from the first one around has had any conversation with me about that. Hand on heart, that’s never come up.”
