Luke Wilson discusses a potential Idiocracy sequel idea. Wilson's Idiocracy 2 idea involves characters returning to the present-day from the dystopian future, reversing the first film's premise. Inverting the original movie's satirical premise may not result in an effective sequel.
Luke Wilson's 2006 cult sci-fi comedy Idiocracy gets an intriguing sequel update from the star, complete with potential plot details.
