Happy Death Day 3 Will Be Bigger According to Director; Just Waiting for Blumhouse & Universal

by

As a die-hard fan of the “Happy Death Day” series, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anxiety over the latest updates regarding “Happy Death Day 3“. With Christopher Landon’s treatment for the third installment in place, it seems that we might finally get to see Tree (Jessica Rothe) face off against the Babyface Killer once again. However, the fact that the new sequel won’t be set on Tree’s birthday has me a tad concerned.

The upcoming third film in the “Happy Death Day” series, titled “Happy Death Day 3“, may grow to be a larger production if writer-director Christopher Landon can align his vision with Blumhouse and Universal. This update comes directly from Landon himself, who also disclosed at this year’s New York Comic Con that the third film has begun taking shape. However, it’s important to note that Landon does not yet have a completed screenplay for the film, only a treatment for the sequel of “Happy Death Day 2U“. Furthermore, Landon hinted at an intriguing plot twist during his interview with ComicBook.com at NYCC: the third movie may have some surprising developments in store.

I can tell you that I’ve drafted a story outline, often referred to as a treatment. I didn’t write the script yet, since I only write scripts when a project is guaranteed. Here’s an exciting detail: This movie is larger in scope, and it doesn’t take place on the same day as the previous two films. That’s about as big a spoiler as I’ve given so far.

When queried if he grows weary of enthusiasts querying him about the potential return of “Happy Death Day 3” featuring Tree (Jessica Rothe) clashing with a reincarnation of the Babyface Killer, Landon offered a hopeful response to eager fans in a recent interview. In essence, he confirmed that they are actively considering this possibility.

I’m not against it in the least; quite the contrary, I adore it! I’m fully supportive and hopeful. The more people ask about it, the better our chances of understanding it become. Therefore, I’m on board with this idea.

A potential rephrasing for the given text could be: The way Landon spoke about the upcoming sequel of ‘Happy Death Day’ may raise concerns among fans, as he stated that it wouldn’t revolve around Tree’s birthday, unlike the first two movies. Since Landon didn’t discuss the main character or the actress who plays her explicitly, one might wonder if Tree will appear in ‘Happy Death Day 3’.

Jessica Rothe Assures Fans Happy Death Day 3 Is ‘Figured Out’

Film director Christopher Landon, who had expressed his intention to create Happy Death Day 3 in February 2023, now has a treatment plan for the third movie. However, if the storyline doesn’t revolve around Tree’s (Rothe) birthday anymore, it raises questions about whether we’ve witnessed the end of our series’ leading character – along with the Babyface Killer – or if another character will assume the chilling Babyface role instead.

Without a doubt, Rothe expresses her desire to reprise her role as Tree Gelbman in another installment. Based on her comments during an interview with ScreenGeek, it seems likely that she will return as Tree if the film is eventually given the go-ahead. In her own words, the actress stated:

“Chris Landon seems to have everything planned out. All we can do is wait for Blumhouse and Universal to sort things out. I’m really hoping for the best because I believe Tree’s third installment could either wrap up this wonderful character and series beautifully or start a new exciting chapter.

Is there a chance that Landon’s plan for Happy Death Day 3 might involve a collaboration with the concept hinted at in 2023, which was the idea of combining Happy Death Day and Freaky? However, as Landon explained to Screen Rant, “The idea of having Jessica Rothe and Kathryn [Newton] together in one film in a Happy Death Day/Freaky crossover is more just a wish to work with them both.” The movie Freaky was an original take on the story of Freaky Friday set within the horror genre, where Vince Vaughn’s character, the Blissfield Butcher, swaps bodies with high school student Millie Kessler (Newton).

At this moment, fans of horror-comedies who enjoy the “Happy Death Day” series will have to rewatch the first two movies as we wait for Landon, Blumhouse, and Universal to agree on a suitable time for another installment. Luckily, both the original “Happy Death Day” and its 2019 sequel, “Happy Death Day 2U,” are accessible for streaming on Peacock.
