Nia Long Shares Why She Was Never Open To A Sequel For ’90s Romance Film “Love Jones”
Looks like #NiaLong was never here for a follow-up to Love Jones.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight Monday night (Apr. 20) at the premiere of her latest project, Michael, the actress was asked about one of her most beloved films, #LoveJones to. The romantic comedy-drama, written and directed by Theodore Witcher, stars #LarenzTate alongside Nia. It released in 1997 and went on to become a fan favorite, especially within the Black community. Still, despite all the love the film receives, a sequel never came to life.
When asked if she regrets not continuing Darius and Nina’s story, Nia kept it real, saying, “I never wanted to [do a sequel], honestly. Because I felt like it was so beautiful as is and I didn’t want to mess it up.” She added, “I wanted it to stay as a singular piece of art that people loved and enjoyed to watch.”
#TJBCrew, do you think there should’ve been a Love Jones 2?
