Well while the studio was certainly anxious to capitalize with a follow-up it was nothing that the film&#8217;s star and co-writer Kristen Wiig was interested in doing.<\/p>\n<p>As she told Harper&#8217;s Bazaar, it was the idea to not do a sequel that was the no-brainer.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It wasn&#8217;t a hard decision. We knew during the first one, this was it. We would have made a lot of money if there was a second one, but that&#8217;s not my goal in my creative life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As it doesn&#8217;t happen often, I have to admit that it is nice to see someone who is resistant to the idea of sequelizing everything they can. <strong>Bridesmaids<\/strong> was a solid and funny movie and I would rather see Wiig continue to explore different comic ideas for films. The release of <strong>Bridesmaids<\/strong> was heralded as the start of a wave of female-fronted comedies, but we haven&#8217;t seen that many in the meantime. Hopefully, Wiig&#8217;ll will continue with original films that will inspire other funny ladies out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Wiig is one and done on the comedy.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/07\/02\/kristin-wiig-says-there-will-be-no-bridesmaids-sequel\/\" title=\"Kristin Wiig Says There Will Be No BRIDESMAIDS Sequel\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29214,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[3733,6560,2399],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-29213","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-bridesmaids","9":"tag-bridesmaids-2","10":"tag-kristen-wiig"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29213"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=29213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
