    What was the first movie "sequel"?

    Question #70423. Asked by smartie806.

    The Son of the Sheik was a 1926 silent movie produced by United Artists, directed by George Fitzmaurice and starring Rudolph Valentino and Vilma Bánky. It was based on a romance novel by Edith Maude Hull The Sons of the Sheik, a sequel to the bestselling The Sheik.

    The first sequel ever made was 1916's "Fall of a Nation," a follow-up to D.W. Griffith's successful 1915 feature "Birth of a Nation", an openly racist ode to the Ku Klux Klan.

    It wasn't "Fall of a Nation." Although written by Thomas Dixon and titled to cash in on the title of D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation," the two movies had nothing to do with each other. "Birth of a Nation" was set during Reconstruction in the South after the Civil War, glorifying the Ku Klux Klan, and "Fall of a Nation" depicted a German invasion of the U.S. during World War I. None of the characters nor the storyline were the same between the two, so calling it a sequel is a bit of a stretch.
