Ifall man gillade Shane Blacks The Nice Guys som släpptes 2016 så finns det anledning att vara åtminstone lite optimistisk till en potentiell uppföljare. Detta då Black nu i en nyligen gjord intervju i bonusmaterialet på den nya lyxiga, men begränsade utgåvan av filmen pratar lite grann om sina tankar kring en eventuell uppföljare. The Nice Guys gick hem hos kritiker, men blev en kommersiell flopp, därav finns det en ekonomisk aspekt att ta hänsyn till, något som Shane Black bland annat tar upp i intervjun:
"I know the rights situation on 'The Nice Guys' is a bit difficult. Joel Silvers a producer, Warner Bros. is the distributor, there's an oversees company that Ken Kao is a producer on. So to carve it out and make sure — in other words, can you make the sequel? Yes. Will it be financially feasible once you pay off everyone involved, including the actors getting their bump? That's the problem, is you're gonna present something that the actors have to agree to, that's a good script, and that is going to be very expensive and the studio's going to say, 'Well, didn't the last one sort of bomb at the theaters?' And you say, 'Yeah, but we want you to spend twice as much on this one anyway to get everyone back."
Får vi återse radarparet Ryan och Russell i en uppföljare tro?
