The 1999 rom-com penned by Richard Curtis saw Roberts star as Anna Scott, a Hollywood movie star who falls in love with bashful bookstore owner William Thacker, played by Hugh Grant. 

In an interview with IndieWire, Curtis revealed he had plans to do a mini-sequel to the smash hit, as he had done with another of his feature films. 

"I actually did four Red Nose Days and Comic Relief. We did those mini sequels to Love Actually, and those satisfied me," Curtis said, referring to a 2017 short film that saw a dozen characters from Love Actually reunite 14 years after the feature film. 

"I tried doing one with Notting Hill where they were going to get divorced, and Julia thought that was a very poor idea."

While Roberts' was firmly opposed to the proposed reunion, Grant, Curtis' frequent collaborator, may have been more supportive. 

In a recent interview, Grant described his character Thackery as "despicable" and has in the past said he thinks the fictional pair would have ended up going through a "hideous divorce".

In a 2020 interview, Grant said he would like to do a sequel to one of his many rom-coms that destroyed their fairy tale endings. 

"I would like to do a sequel to one of my own romantic comedies that shows what happened after those films ended. Really, to prove the terrible lie that they all were, that it was a happy ending."

"I'd like to do me and Julia and the hideous divorce that's ensued with really expensive lawyers, children involved in a tug of love, floods of tears. Psychologically scarred forever. I'd love to do that film."
