Sometimes it just doesn’t work. One example of a movie series I really like (showing my sappy side) is the Before Sunrise/Sunset series by Richard Linklater.

They were released nine years apart, and they take place nine years apart. But it works, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have both aged as much as their characters have.

Fantastic movies, if you ask me. Great characters, great dialogue and the settings are great.

If it can be worked in, then go for it. But if it is being forced, then I don’t think it is worth it.

Especially when you are looking at sci-fi and fantasy – often even the events in these books span hundreds or thousands of years.
