Back in 2019, the horror-comedy film Ready or Not emerged as an unexpected hit, demonstrating that the genre could still thrive without being tied to a well-known franchise or established intellectual property. The movie’s side-splitting ending left room for further storytelling, and following its impressive box office showing, discussions about a sequel commenced. However, it has been six long years since audiences last saw Samara Weaving fighting her way through that sprawling mansion. In the end, we got the title Ready or Not: Here I Come, but it’s been quite some time now.
The task of replicating the original’s success may prove difficult given the time elapsed. Nevertheless, producer James Vanderbilt remains optimistic, believing that taking time to avoid simply rehashing the first film will ultimately pay off: “We were determined not to merely repeat what the first movie accomplished.
In an interview with Comic Book during the launch of his new film, Guy Ritchie’s “Fountain of Youth”, writer Kevin Williamson discussed the upcoming sequel where Matthew Lillard’s character, Grace, will reappear. Williamson confirmed that the project is ongoing and offered a valid explanation for the delay: it’s taking longer than expected due to the intricacies involved in its development.
We’ve got multiple strategies in place for this project. I don’t want to spoil anything yet. As it stands, we’re still early in the process and there isn’t much information available. However, I can share that one reason for the delay in making this sequel is our determination not to simply replicate the first movie or dilute its essence. Instead, we’ve been striving to create something fresh while preserving the unique flavor of the original film.
The script is fascinating because it constantly questions reality and illusion. These questions are answered in the first movie, making it impossible to ignore their impact. The writers, Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy, have come up with a clever approach that immediately resonates as the perfect fit. When they presented this idea, everyone agreed – it’s just brilliant! I can’t wait for people to experience this unique storytelling.
‘Ready or Not: Here I Come’: What We Know So Far
Praised by both critics and viewers, the movie “Ready or Not” marked a significant success in horror for Samara Weaving, along with directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. Fortunately, they will be back at the helm, and Weaving is set to star alongside an impressive lineup including Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Shawn Hatosy, Kevin Durand, and Néstor Carbonell. The specifics of the story are being kept secret, but Vanderbilt assures us that they won’t just retread old ground.
It seems reasonable to suggest that we continue developing the mythology without fully explaining every aspect of it. Whether this idea appeals to you or not, it’s thrilling for us. I believe we’ve found the perfect balance between world-building and telling an emotionally engaging story. The fact that people accepted the movie so warmly filled us with a sense of privilege, which is why we wouldn’t want to revisit it if a follow-up might feel repetitive, like ‘Here they go again.’ If we can’t come up with something fresh that enhances or surpasses the original, we’re content to let it stand as it is. Needless to say, we’re all eagerly anticipating what’s to come.
