John Cho goes after someone else who's missing.' We were like, 'Maybe?' But, I was hesitant," Ohanian admitted."I think for us, we really were proud of that film, and the whole team here had done such a great job on that.
"This is a 100% true story. I remember I hung up the phone and he saw me laughing and he was like, 'What was that?' I was like, 'Dude, Sony wants to make a sequel to Searching.' And his reaction was like, 'Dude! Hell, yeah!' And I was like, 'I don't know, man. I've got to talk to Nat. I got to talk to Aneesh.' I was like, 'Maybe we don't do this.
What Is Missing About?Here's what Sony has to say about the Searching sequel:"From the minds behind Searching comes Missing, a thrilling roller-coaster mystery that makes you wonder how well you know those closest to you.
