Boyle says actor-writer-director Amy Seimetz, who co-created Starz's The Girlfriend Experience, is developing a follow-up to The Beach that would serve as a prequel despite being set 20 years after the events in the film. " It’s the same character but it’s set now, so 20 years later – it’s a bit of a headf*ck," Boyle tells The Independent. The Beach, based on Alex Garland's 1996 book, was considered a box office failure for star DiCaprio, who co-starred with Tilda Swinton.
