Attention: mild SPOILERS approaching!
It looks like the studio behind the new science fiction drama Mother/Android met Chloë Grace Moretz doesn’t want to stick to just (gosh, surprise) one movie. But then they can hope that streaming viewers will find the title a bit better, because for the time being the ambitions below seem ripe for the trash.
In the film, we see how the heavily pregnant Georgia (Moretz) embarks on a journey through dangerous post-apocalyptic America with her boyfriend Sam.
Dangerous, because the continent has been taken over by androids, once designed to help the people, but one day turned against them and started killing from scratch.
Georgia passes several military pockets of resistance that are pretty much the only means of survival. At the end she loses a lot and this sets up a mountain of potential sequels and spin-offs.
CBR is now revealing some of those ideas. Not only does her boyfriend Sam die in the climax, but Georgia also has to give up her newborn baby, who is taken by boat to Korea for a safe life.
A kind of ‘Cloverfield’
A possible sequel would tell about how the robotic rebellion is moving to the Asian continent, giving Georgia a new goal, which is to find the way back to her child.
A kind of ‘Terminator’
A spin-off should revolve around the so-called ‘Blitz’, the crucial moment when mobile phones first went out and then the androids broke down and suddenly people started tearing people apart.
The origin lies with the company Raster Robotics. Flashbacks back and forth between research centers and labs can tell an interesting prequel story about the robots’ construction and internal errors that led to this and slowly create the dystopian setting.
A kind of ‘Walking Dead’
Another spin-off could mold itself after, for example, the AMC hit series with Georgia crossing paths with other survivors who have lost so much, turning some into monsters and unleashing their inner beast, re-playing the mistrust and selfishness people show in desperate times.
A kind of ‘The Forever Purge’
A follow-up without Moretz’s character could focus on American refugees to Asia or other unaffected places. Then you have room again for themes such as xenophobia, which can play a role in the socio-political state of the world in such a crisis. Because if all hell breaks out here too, immigrants will soon be accused of transmitting this ‘disease’.
