(SPOILER COMMENT!)

About the found footage thing: Matt went on to help people and find out what happened to them. He could record everything the same way Andrew did as sort of a tribute to Andrew. Also, nowadays everyone has a camera like the last scene in the first movie so it would be cool to see the heroic stuff caught on camera.

I think the sequel would follow Matt. I mean there is no reason for it to end the way it did and not follow him. I know what everyone is saying about the government getting involved and blah blah but I think that would be a minor role.

The first movie left off with a lot of questions unanswered which is what I loved about it so much because it had a mysterious and real element to it. They did not really care about where their powers came from but the sequel could show that too and how the world is dealing with what happened. I don't know about anyone else but I'm looking forward to a sequel.

I wouldn't mind seeing it done as a strung compilation of documentaries from different media outlets or tv shows.

Like a News special in the wake of everything that happened in the first movie, followed by an Unsolved Mysteries kinda show about the meteor, and then a retrospective made years later hinting at events that happened after [leaving room for a 3rd].

I would like to see a sequel that goes deeper into what Telekinesis powers can do.  It's one of the more powerful superpowers out there and this movie just scratched the surface.  I think a second movie could work if they went the same route and gave another group of kids these powers, but had them develop the powers more.  Have them try to get rich off it or something.  After the events of the first one, the government must be aware of the powers, so have them pay a big role in the second film, like getting one of the kids and trying to make a weapon out of him or her.

I also think the second movie should be rated R.  The potential of Telekinesis powers are truly horrifying, as shown with what Andrew did to the spider.  More can be done to people other than pushing them away.  Only an R rating could show the audience the true power that is telekinesis.

@Drad, I get what you're saying, but I think Andrew's story was the complete worst case scenario if a kid got powers like that. I think there is much more to be explored if done right. They never actually got to the super hero part where bad guys get fucked up. On top of that, what about the military?

Spoiler!  We know that there was a time gap between Matt, Steve, and Andrews first interaction with the rock and the rock tossing experiment. We dont know how many people were hanging out with Matt and Steve at the site before Steve went to get Andrew to film it. They could script it that other teens returned to that hole before the government got to it..

No, I don't want one at all.  I feel like what made Chronicle work was the story of Andrew.  Would they try and replicate that?  It sounds bad.

My Ideas:

- The government acquires the alien rock and start doing tests on soldiers. One thing leads to another and it all kicks off. Typical power corrupts story but keeping with the found footage vibe, all the footage is government test video and soldier vlogs.

Throw in some government double cross, super powered soldiers defecting, alien rock being sold to the highest bidder etc.

-Chronicle 3!? How does this sound:

Matt is still on the run and the Government see him as a loose end. Send out there newly trained psychic soldiers to track him down, but by now Matt is a complete bad ass and doesn't make it easy on them. All building up to an even more epic showdown. As mentioned earlier, all this we'll be pieced together with amateur footage government recording, personal camera phone recordings etc.

-There's more than one alien rock thing. Hundreds of them landed all over the planet. Chaos ensues . Combination of News reports, personal vlogs from kids. Have a more of a Journalistic vibe. Like those CNN reports. Stretched out over an hour and half.

-Chronicle: the lost tapes: A more light hearted prequel. 20-30 min short movie(s) (Maybe dvd special feature additions or straight to the internet).

Steve, Matt and Andrew with there personal vlogs. Experiments and general tomfoolery.

-Is Andrew dead? It wouldn't be that much of a stretch to see him survive. We don't know the full extent of there powers. There maybe latent regenerative abilities that were triggered after he got impaled.

What about Steve and the connection the 3 boys shared? Could a combined effort resurrect there dead friend?

SPOILER!!!!

It the end of the 1st one the ain character said "I will not stop until I find out where these came from" Or something along those lines,so isn't it possible that it is that guy searching the world and finding others like him?

There's many way to make this work

Here's a quick list of how to keep it going from where it left off: (left half-ambigious for spoilers):

-Guy who got hit with the spear could have lived, which you can make it more like the section of District 9  where they have Wilkus testing weapons for a while before he gets out.

-Guy killed by lighting could still be alive in a Dr.Manhattan state of existence where he's slowly reconstructing himself in a new form or from the power source since if you notice when they get their powers it gets sweat off the tip of his nose.

-Guy who goes to find out the truth finds where the source of their power's source is and it's him finding out more about the power source

-Government could use power source to make more powered people and monitor their progress and hunting the originals.

-or a mix of a few or all of them

That or you could go completely new with it and make Chronicle an Anthology series
