Whether or not you think Richard Linklater was robbed at the Academy Awards last weekend, it’s pretty clear that Boyhood has put him back in high demand in Hollywood. We already know that his next movie will be the Dazed and Confused spiritual successor That’s What I’m Talking About, which is expected to hit theatres later this year, but now he is also in talks for a new project that he did not write himself. It would be another family-centric narrative about a mother who goes missing prior to a family trip to Antarctica. At the same time, Linklater is not about to give up his own personal projects either. This month he also revealed that he is giving serious thought to a Boyhood sequel. Hit the jump for more details.

According to THR, Richard Linklater is in talks to reteam with producer Megan Ellison and Annapurna Pictures for Where’d You Go Bernadette, based on the 2012 book by Maria Semple. The book is satirical and sounds vaguely similar to Gone Girl, but the story is told via multiple formats including e-mails, letters, F.B.I. documents, and correspondence with a psychiatrist. The Fault in Our Stars screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber have already adapted the book into a script and now they are looking to Linklater to helm.

On a recent episode of The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith, Richard Linklater also talked about the possibility of following up Boyhood a few years down the road with the same cast. Here’s what he had to say:

“I can tell it’s happening because I start coming up with ideas about [that time period]. The same way I thought about Boyhood: just these random little memories about being in my 20s that might seem insignificant on paper, but telling and important. And developmentally, like, ‘oh, that was kind of a moment'; a lot of moments from the fraught 20s… I would love to keep working with this cast and I think we all would. But that can’t be the primary reason to do it. You always need something to say. You can’t do it just cause you want to work with your friends, you gotta have something really inside you you’re trying to communicate about those years. It might happen, but I dunno, it’s in the ether in the moment.”

Obviously the man is pretty obsessed with the passage of time and how people change and develop over time, so it’s no surprise to hear him thinking about what happens next. But could he use the same unique filmmaking approach twice? And would it be called Richard Linklater’s Manhood, because something about that just sounds… wrong. Are you interested in seeing a Boyhood sequel?
