Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright has revealed why he has no interest in making a sequel of 2004's superhit film Shaun of the Dead. Wright revealed the details while speaking with SFX Magazine.

Wright said, "I haven't gone back to horror-comedy, because with Shaun Of The Dead, I felt like I had said much of what I wanted to say with that movie. It's difficult to return to that, even as a producer. Sometimes I get sent films -- people want to make the next Shaun and want me to come aboard as a producer. But I find it difficult to cover the same territory again."

He added, "The thing is that films take so long to make. I think that's the thing that fans don't quite understand sometimes, they'll say, 'Why don't you knock out a Shaun sequel?' It's like, these films take three years to make, you've got to really, really love it to do it. So because films take longer to make, trying to challenge yourself with a different subject matter or something you haven't done before, it's always the real motivator."
