It looks as if the long gestating Strangers 2 is moving forward and eyeing a director. Marcel Langenegger (Deception) is in negotiations to direct the sequel to the 2008 sleeper hit. Word has it that production is scheduled to start this spring.
Roy Lee, Doug Davison, Nathan Kahane and Trevor Macy are returning to produce, while Sonny Mallhi, Marc Evans and Joe Drake will executive produce. The film will be produced by Vertigo and Good Universe.
Ben Ketai is writing the sequel with a family on the verge of sending their troubled teenage daughter to boarding school as they embark on one last family trip to a mobile home park that their uncle runs. Their last bonding opportunity turns to horror when the teenage children discover the bodies of their aunt and uncle, fresh from a recent visit from the Strangers — Man in the Mask, Pin Up Girl and Dollface.
The night becomes a race to escape for the family, as the masked killers take new pleasure in tormenting their victims in this twisted sequel that picks up where the original’s bloody footprints leave off.
In 2008, Bryan Bertino directed The Strangers which starred Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman. The Rogue Pictures production was an unlikely success grossing $82 million worldwide with a budget of only $9 million. The film follows a young couple staying in an isolated vacation home are terrorized by three unknown assailants.
