Mamma Mia! Sequel Rumours Quashed

The film adaptation of Benni and Bjorn’s musical hit, Mamma Mia!, was absolutely massive when it was released. At one point, it threatened to drown the world in ABBA songs. It’s the biggest selling DVD of all time in the UK. Can so many people be wrong? Anyway, Empire asked actor Pierce Brosnan (beautiful singing voice: not) during press rounds for Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief if rumours were true of sequel talk – and he had this to say:

“”No, I don’t think that’s happening”.

Cat out of the bag or what? Does a sequel really need to happen? Just because a film is ridiculously successful (and ridiculous), it doesn’t mean automatic sequel treatment. Adding to this, Meryl Streep last month told Showbizspy:

“I heard that they were talking about it, but I am not sure it’s real, it’s not anything I’m on the inside track of. No one has told me anything yet”.

Another cause to think this isn’t happening. Oh and that Benni Anderson has said any sequel will NOT have any ABBA songs in there. Although, hope clearly springs eternal for Amanda Seyfried who said the film was going ahead.

So can we safely file this under “definitely not happening”? After all, you’d think the major talent would be “in the loop”. Now it’ll the first film played on DVD until the end of time – and don’t forget to sing along.
