As a cinephile who has witnessed the evolution of horror films over the years, I must say that Halle Berry’s latest venture into the genre, “Never Let Go,” is nothing short of captivating. The film, while not yet a blockbuster, holds immense potential for expansion due to its intricate storyline and the dedication of its talented cast.
The recently premiered movie titled “Never Let Go,” featuring Halle Berry, is garnering praise from critics, who consider it one of the top horror films of the year. Conversely, audiences have been a bit hesitant to accept Alexandre Aja’s latest directorial project (“Crawl”), earning only $5 million globally so far on a budget of $20 million. If “Never Let Go” recoups its costs and more, Halle Berry hinted that a prequel and potential sequels for the horror film could be in development.
In a chat with ComicBook, Halle Berry and her co-stars Percy Daggs IV and Anthony B. Jenkins discussed potential sequels for the movie “Never Let Go.” The child actors jested that they wished to produce more films within the “Never Let Go” universe, regardless of the movie’s performance. Berry confirmed that the team had already planned out stories for a prequel and sequels. If the film becomes successful as a horror franchise, it will likely continue its journey, but even if it doesn’t, the storyline seems to allow the cast members to reprise their roles in future installments.
How Never Let Go Could Be A Franchise
“Never Let Go”: In this gripping tale, a mother and her two sons endure an apocalyptic world overtaken by an unknown evil, living secluded in a forest house. Halle Berry portrays a protective mother who keeps her sons, Nolan (Percy Daggs IV) and Samuel (Anthony B. Jenkins), always connected to her for safety. However, as one son starts doubting the apocalyptic reality and the evil’s existence, chaos ensues – quite literally. The film leaves many unanswered questions, refusing to provide straightforward explanations by its end. Interestingly, a sequel featuring the main characters is suggested, with hints being dropped along the way. Additionally, there are plans for a prequel focusing on Berry’s character, perhaps delving into her life before she became a mother.
Following her role in “John Wick: Chapter 3”, Halle Berry might have found a consistent franchise with “Never Let Go”. Given the nature of the movie, there’s potential for Berry’s character to appear in both prequels and sequels. She will be joined by rising stars such as Percy Daggs IV and Anthony B. Jenkins, who have garnered positive reviews for their performances. The potential sequel to “Never Let Go” could primarily focus on the siblings in the tumultuous aftermath of the initial film, leaving the ending open-ended.
