Roberts rejected the sequel to "Notting Hill"

In "Notting Hill", Julia Roberts plays a world-renowned film star who falls in love with a British bookstore owner, played by Hugh Grant. The film became a huge success with both the audience and critics and became the highest-grossing British film of all time.

It seems like a setup for a sequel, one might think, and that's what screenwriter Richard Curtis thought too. In an interview with Indiewire, he talks about the plans.

I tried to make a sequel that ends with a divorce, but Julia (Roberts, ed. note) thought it was a terrible idea, he says.

Richard Curtis is currently working on the script for the Netflix film "That Christmas".
