Luke Wilson in Idiocracy
Summary Luke Wilson's 2006 cult sci-fi comedy Idiocracy gets an intriguing sequel update from the star, complete with potential plot details. Set in a dystopian future where anti-intellectualism reigns, Mike Judge’s satirical sci-fi movie was a true cult film, grossing just $495,000 in its limited release, but going on to become a cultural touchstone.
Over 20 years after Idiocracy made some truly scary - and uncannily accurate - predictions about America’s future, Wilson addressed the possibility of a sequel, revealing that he does indeed talk to the original movie’s director about the prospect, while laying out his idea for a potential plot. Check out his remarks below :
I'm always trying to get Mike to do another Idiocracy where me and Terry Cruz and Dax Shepard, who played Frito, where we come back from the future to the present day and see what happens. Why Wilson’s Idiocracy 2 Idea Likely Wouldn’t Work The joke in Idiocracy is that, if America were to remain on the increasingly anti-intellectual course it seemed to be charting as of 2006, in 500 years the country would be so dumb that an average man of the early 21st Century would be smart enough to run the whole show.
