As a fan who’s been through the chilling suspense of “Sinister” and the heart-stopping terror of “The Black Phone”, I can’t help but feel a shiver down my spine at the news of “The Black Phone 2”. Scott Derrickson‘s knack for turning ordinary objects into instruments of dread, as seen with that ominous rotary phone in the first film, is nothing short of masterful.
The director, who delighted horror enthusiasts with his 2022 film “The Black Phone”, has started production on the sequel. He shared a sneak peek to confirm that filming for “The Black Phone 2” is underway. Derrickson posted a photo from the set, where the sequel’s logo was visible on his director’s chair. The caption read, “Black Phone 2 started shooting today.” Details about the sequel are scarce, but fans eagerly await what Derrickson and his team have in store for us.
“I don’t have much to discuss, but working on SINISTER 2 (you can learn more about it through Scott Weinberg’s OVERHATED podcast) made me vow that I wouldn’t create another sequel unless it could match the quality of the original.
Reader, we’re SUPER proud of this script & cast and hope we do you proud.”
