'Boyhood' director Richard Linklater has revealed that he wouldn't say no to revisiting the stories of the characters in his incredible movie, which just lost out on the Best Picture prize at the Oscars to 'Birdman'. 

During an interview with Q&A Podcast (via The Playlist) if a sequel is something he is considering, Linklater explained:

"To be honest, this film first met its audience exactly a year ago and for the first six months of the year, my answer to that was absolutely not. This was 12 years, it was first grade through 12th grade; it was about getting out of high school. I had no idea about another story, there's nothing to say. It hadn't crossed my mind."

"But I don't know if it's been a combination of finally feeling that this is over or being asked a similar question a bunch over the last year, that I thought, well, I wake up in the morning thinking, 'the 20s are pretty formative, you know?' That's where you really become who you're going to be. It's one thing to grow up and go to college, but it's another thing to… So, I will admit my mind has drifted towards [this sequel idea]."

He went onto add that if he does decide to shoot a sequel, it wouldn't take 12 years: "The 12 years [structure] came out of [school structure]. It wouldn't have to be twelve years. It wouldn't have to be… I mean, who knows? I mean, if I learned anything on the 'Before' trilogy it took five years to realise that Jesse and Celine were still alive and had anything to say. This one would probably be more accelerated, but who knows."
