'Gone Girl' sequel not written off, says Flynn

Flynn would want lead actors Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck to return, along with director David Fincher, should the story continue.

"There could be a sequel at some point if everyone is game to get the gang back together, it could be really fun a few years from now," Flynn told the New York Daily News at the BAFTA function on Jan 11, ahead of the film's DVD and Blu-ray release on Jan 13.

"We could pick it up and see what those crazy Dunnes are up to a few years down the road and if they got on -- not well I don't think."

"I would have to have the exact same people to do it -- I would want Rosamund, Ben and Fincher to do it."

Flynn's 2012 novel was a critical and popular success but ducked prominent awards lists, prompting a discussion over the perceived preference for high-brow literary fiction at book awards.

The October 2014 adaptation went on to make over $365m on a $61m budget and accrued four nominations for the Jan 11 Golden Globe award ceremony: Best Actress (won by Julianne Moore in "Still Alice"), Best Director (Richard Linklater, "Boyhood"), Best Screenplay (Alejandro Inarritu etc., "Birdman"), and Best Original Score (Johann Johannsson, "The Theory of Everything").
