(Ltv. and Rus. The Collector) is prequel to the film Saw (James Wan, 2004) – Zāģis, Пила (Ltv. and Rus. Saw); Get Him to the Greek
(Nicholas Stoller, 2010) – Dabū viņu uz skatuves (Ltv. Get Him to the Scene), Побег из Вегаса (Rus. Escape from Vegas) – spin-off sequel
to the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008, Nicholas Stoller) – Aizmirst Sāru Maršalu (Ltv. Forgetting Sarah Marshall), В пролете (Rus. Out
in the Cold).

source (first film, a filmthat originateda series of sequels). Follow-up titles are centripetal – the tend to a nest together with the film title as
well.
