This floored me today. I had no idea it was the same actor that played Mathasar in 'Galaxy Quest' and Elias in the 'Person of Interest' TV series.
However one of the starts of the original, Enrico Colantoni who played the alien leader Mathesar, has revealed that he for one hopes a follow-up doesn't happen. He tells io9:
"I hope not. I think it's a great movie all by itself. It stands alone, and to make something up, just because we love those characters, and turn it into a sequel - then it becomes the awful sequel. [Laughs] That's just my personal opinion. I think it's perfect just the way it is. It's standing the test of time. People are rediscovering it. New generations are discovering it again and again, and it's just perfect. Unless they can make it as good as the first one, which I don't know how [you could do that]."

Yeah, I totally agree. It's a classic. Leave it be. Few sequels are actually any good.
