Gone Girl, starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike as Nick and Amy Dunne, was a box office smash, even becoming director David Fincher's highest-grossing film in the U.S.

Screenwriter Gillian Flynn, who wrote the novel from which the movie is based, revealed that there might be a part two with the original cast.

"There could be a sequel at some point if everyone is game to get the gang back together, it could be really fun a few years from now," the 43-year-old writer told the New York Daily News. "We could pick it up and see what those crazy Dunnes are up to a few years down the road and if they got on - not well I don't think."

She added: "I would have to have the exact same people to do it - I would want Rosamund, Ben and Fincher to do it."

It may not be so difficult to get Affleck to sign on for a sequel since he's spoken highly of playing Nick, a character suspected of murdering his wife.

"The really liberating thing was ... usually when you play a protagonist and you're a lead in the movie there are sort of some unspoken rules. You know, you have to be a good person, you have to be a leader, you have to be smarter than everyone in the room, you have to kind of ... give people steely glares and that kind of thing," Affleck told NPR.

"And in this case, we weren't encumbered by that at all. The whole idea of likability was sort of thrown out of the window. And I thought that was really exciting and liberating as an actor because you didn't know where this guy was gonna go."
