ABBA Composer Fights Mamma Mia! Sequel
13 April 2009 2:34 AM, PDT

Former ABBA member Bjorn Ulvaes is resisting efforts to mount a movie sequel to the hit musical Mamma Mia!, the London Telegraph reported on Saturday.

"It wouldn't work," Ulvaes, who co-wrote the ABBA songs that were used in the musical, told the newspaper.

Nevertheless, virtually everyone else who was involved in the film is pushing for a sequel, the Telegraph observed, including Universal execs, screenwriter Catherine Johnson, and Meryl Streep, who starred in the film.

"Oh, I'm up for it," she told the newspaper, "as long as you can get those fabulous boys back," referring to her male co-stars in the original.

You know I was just thinking, would Pierce Brosnan ever decide to come back should this sequel happen; after all the ridicule and criticism (+ Razzie Award) for his role in this movie?
