Love Actually director Richard Curtis has spoken about the possibility of a sequel to his 2003 hit film.

Although the recently-retired director said that he believed the idea of a cast reunion was unlikely, he didn't dismiss getting together with the original actors a decade after the movie was made.

According to The Daily Beast, Curtis said: "Can you imagine anything less likely than a reunion? It's so interesting with people who are famous and busy.

"You sort of know we'd all enjoy it, but when the call came in, they'd probably think it was duty.

"What I might try and do is see some of them and get in touch with some of them when it gets to this Christmas," he added.

"Andrew [Lincoln] is away now a lot but I used to see him a bunch, and I'm sure I'll send Liam [Neeson] a Christmas card.

"I may just politely remind everyone that it's been ten years!"

The writer also said that he believed the movie's legacy was down to "luck".

"I think it's aged quite well because the viewer never really knows what's coming next," he said.

"And because it's set at Christmas, because there are so many stories, and because the cast has turned out to be even more lovely than we thought, it's had many extra winds, so to speak."
