Ready Or Not Star Samara Weaving’s Latest Comments About The Sequel Has Me Hype As A Fan

by

As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast with a penchant for horror genres that spans over two decades, I can confidently say that the anticipation for the sequel to “Ready or Not” has me on the edge of my seat. Having grown up on classics like “Halloween,” “Friday the 13th,” and “Scream,” I’ve seen countless sequels that have either disappointed or surpassed expectations. But with Samara Weaving’s recent comments about a potential sequel, my hopes are high.

Ever since its debut in 2019, “Ready or Not” has been a go-to modern classic for horror movie enthusiasts who appreciate a blend of suspense, dark humor, and incisive social commentary. The film’s unique combination has struck a chord with both viewers and critics. With the sequel to this beloved original being announced earlier in the year, fans are on tenterhooks for any updates. As the movie’s leading actress, Samara Weaving, is currently promoting her upcoming 2024 release, “Azrael,” media outlets are asking about the status of the “Ready or Not” sequel. Her recent comments on the subject have renewed my optimism.

Actress Samara Weaving, famously recognized for her breakout part as Grace in “Ready or Not,” is keeping busy with numerous horror films lined up. Yet, it’s her whispers about a potential sequel to the Searchlight Pictures release that has fans excited. During an interview for the promotion of “Azrael,” Weaving subtly hinted at her possible return for a potential “Ready or Not” sequel:

I’m completely committed, and I believe everyone else is too, though I’m not certain. To put it another way, we might as well be bound by a blood pact, even though we haven’t actually exchanged blood in that traditional sense. We’ve shaken hands and sealed the deal, but without the literal exchange of blood.

Although her comments were somewhat cryptic, it appears that the actress from the movie “Mayhem” hinted at a positive attitude towards a potential “Ready or Not” sequel among herself and other key figures like the directors referred to as “Radio Silence”. Despite no official contracts being in place, their enthusiasm for the project seems evident.

Initially, I was hesitant about the notion of a follow-up to the 2019 horror-comedy movie masterpiece “Ready or Not.” The hilarious ending seemed like the ideal finale, so why tamper with something that worked? However, my doubts have been alleviated, particularly after witnessing Radio Silence’s exceptional work on both “Scream” (2022) and “Scream VI.” These directors have a talent for catching me off guard, and they’ve made me appreciate sequels I didn’t know I was yearning for.

So, bring on Ready or Not 2! And let’s be honest, it should totally be called Ready or Not: Here I Come Again. Or maybe Ready or Not: Hide and Shriek? These titles are on the house, Radio Silence. However, if you need more “banger” ideas, feel free to give me a ring—I’ve got plenty more where that came from!

As a die-hard horror enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about Samara Weaving’s ascension in the genre and her undeniable fervor for her roles. With bated breath, fellow fear-lovers and I anticipate any updates that might come our way. If all goes according to plan, Ready or Not could make a triumphant comeback; however, whether it will appear on the 2025 movie schedule remains to be seen. Based on Samara’s recent comments, it appears we’re all just waiting for that final “blood handshake” to seal the deal.

Regarding Samara Weaving’s upcoming projects, her recent horror film titled “Azrael” premiered at the 2024 South by Southwest festival on March 9 and is slated for a U.S. theatrical release on September 27, 2024, distributed by IFC Films and Shudder. In the interim, why not take another look at “Ready or Not”? It’s an excellent horror movie available on Tubi.
