Film set before its predecessor (7)

I believe the answer is:

prequel

(Other definitions for prequel that I've seen before include "Young Sherlock Holmes, say" , "Story preceding another" , "What happened before" , "Possibly book in advance" , "Story taking place at an earlier time than in the previous work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
