Luke Wilson Is “Always Pitching” An ‘Idiocracy’ Sequel To Mike Judge
Nearly 20 years later, Luke Wilson is surprised that his cult satire 'Idiocracy' is one of the roles his fans still frequently recall.
The actor recently admitted that he’s “always pitching” co-writer/director Mike Judge on a sequel to the film, which starred him and Maya Rudolph as two people mistakenly left in cryosleep for 500 years, awaken in an era when the average human intelligence has decreased so much that Wilson’s Private Joe Bowers is now the smartest man in the world. Idiocracy has since developed a cult status, frequently brought up as an increasingly relevant satire amid elections and spreading of disinformation. In 2012, Crews also told Movieline he continues to “badger” Judge about a potential sequel, and they’d even met with Fox about making a web series for President Camacho.
