The unique Happy Death Day in 2017 was a type of “why hasn’t this achieved earlier than?” horror films, whereby faculty lady Tree (performed by Jessica Rothe) received caught in a time loop that all the time ended along with her getting murdered. That first film did rather well, and its sequel Happy Death Day 2U additionally did fairly good! Over the previous few years, it hasn’t been clear if a sequel would ever occur, however excellent news: it’s apparently nonetheless within the playing cards.
Whereas doing promo for her latest movie Boy Kills World, Rothe revealed to ScreenGeek that director Christopher Landon “has the entire thing found out. We simply want to attend for Blumhouse and Common to get their geese in a row.” So far as she’s involved, Tree “deserves her third and remaining chapter to convey that unbelievable character and franchise to an in depth or a brand new starting. However my fingers are so crossed.”
Presumably, she’s referring to how busy the 2 studios have been and the place it will probably match on their schedules. Setting apart COVID and final yr’s strikes, they’ve partnered on quite a lot of horror flicks within the final 5 years: some have been reimaginings of the Universal Monsters, others have been original movies or reboots of Common’s horror steady. Most of them have achieved fairly nicely on the field workplace, and in some circumstances, have (or will lead) to franchises all their very own. Individually, Blumhouse merged with James Wan’s Atomic Monster earlier this yr, and now has its sights set on video games, whereas Common’s centered on huge flicks like Fall Man, the How you can Practice Your Dragon remake, and now the Mario films.
Again in 2020, Landon revealed his deliberate title for the threequel was Happy Death Day to Us, although by that time, it was shelved. At the moment, he teased the flm could be set on a wholly totally different day, which might assist hold the presssure off doing the identical actual factor a 3rd time. With luck, it’ll get made and launched pretty quickly—if Now You See Me can come again with a 3rd film practically a decade later, then so can this.
