"Josh Trank is unlikely to direct Chronicle 2, Max Landis has revealed. The writer has said that his collaborating director may have some involvement in the sequel, but his busy schedule is preventing him from helming the project. &amp;quot;Josh is all over the place with other projects,&amp;quot; Landis told Tbreak. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m also all over the place with other projects, but Chronicle is really my baby. &amp;quot;Josh will probably be involved in some respect, but right now I just want to get the script done.&amp;quot; Landis also revealed some details of the off-beat superpower sequel. &amp;quot;Small spoiler - the movie you saw [as found-footage in Chronicle] in the sequel, is a thing,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;That edited footage... is a thing.  &amp;quot;So it&amp;#039;s not like, &amp;#039;We found this footage after this kids died&amp;#039;. You can&amp;#039;t deny cars being thrown in the air in Seattle. You saw all those helicopters. &amp;quot;The world changed. That&amp;#039;s the end of Chronicle. And things are going to be different now. They can&amp;#039;t possibly cover up what happened.&amp;quot; Landis revealed that Akira, X-Men and Stand by Me were all influences on the first film, as was the storytelling style of Stephen King in general. Trank is currently in line to work on comic book movie adaptations Venom, The Red Star and Fantastic Four. Watch a trailer for Chronicle below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
