As a seasoned movie buff who has watched countless horror flicks and dark comedies, I can confidently say that the announcement of a sequel to “Ready or Not” has me more than ready! The original film was a refreshing take on the genre, with Samara Weaving‘s Grace gracefully navigating through a lethal game of Hide and Seek against her husband’s sinister family.
It has been officially confirmed that there will be a sequel to the movie “Ready or Not,” with actress Samara Weaving and filmmakers Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, collectively known as Radio Silence, returning. This news was announced during a screening of the original film by Searchlight Pictures in Hollywood on October 12, according to Deadline. The three were present for a question and answer session following the screening.
Debuting in 2019, the movie titled “Ready or Not” revolves around Grace, a bride just married, who finds herself in a perilous situation as she struggles for survival while playing a fatal game of Hide and Seek with her mysterious new family. This dark comedy horror was a success: during its cinematic release, it earned $57.6 million worldwide on a budget of $6 million, and received positive reviews from critics who appreciated the film’s humorous aspects, tense horror scenes, and Weaving’s exceptional acting performance.
Information about the storyline of the second film remains unshared, but it’s confirmed that writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy are back on board for the upcoming production. Additionally, Tripp Vinson, Bradley J. Fischer, William Sherak, and James Vanderbilt will reprise their roles as producers for the sequel. Villella and Tara Farney will serve as executive producers for this follow-up movie.
The Hype Surrounding Ready or Not 2
Since 2019, diehard fans of the movie have been eagerly anticipating a sequel. However, recent statements from Weaving and Radio Silence suggest that something related to the film may be in development. In April, during interviews for this year’s “Abigail”, Gillett and Bettinelli-Olpin revealed that an amazing script was already written and there is still a lot more story to explore.
The details of Ready or Not 2 are being worked out. What we can confirm is that there’s an outstanding script for a sequel, which promises to be nothing short of sensational. Regardless of how it gets produced and in whatever role we play in its production, we are incredibly thrilled that it’s moving forward. In many aspects, this movie holds a special place in our creative hearts.
In September, as she was publicizing her new venture titled “Azrael“, Weaving ignited the speculation further by expressing her strong commitment towards a potential sequel, stating she was “completely invested”.
I’m completely committed, and it seems like everyone else is too, though I can’t say for certain. To put it another way, while we haven’t formally sealed our bond with a blood oath, we’ve reached a point where we’re very close, having performed the symbolic ‘spit handshake’.
There seems to be a lot of enthusiasm among the cast and crew for the upcoming horror film, as confirmed on Instagram by Searchlight Pictures. Posts featuring Weaving, Gillett, and Bettinelli-Olpin have sparked interest, although some fans have expressed doubts about the need for a sequel, given the powerful ending of the first movie. However, even with these reservations, many are eagerly anticipating more of Grace’s story and the chaos that might unfold in this new installment. User j.nicholson94 summed it up nicely: “I’m not convinced a Ready or Not 2 is necessary, but I’m excited to see what fresh violence this creative team has in store for us.
You can now stream the movie “Ready or Not,” featuring Samara Weaving, Adam Brody, Mark O’Brien, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell, on Hulu.
