Earlier this year, Sarah Michelle Gellar signed on for Hulu’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival. Now, Gellar is getting back to her horror roots in Ready or Not 2, the sequel to the cult 2019 film. And the sequel is also getting a new name.
Via Variety, the follow-up film is now titled Ready or Not: Here I Come. Samara Weaving starred in the original movie and she is returning to headline the sequel. In the first film, Weaving’s Grace married into the wealthy Le Domas family through her husband, Alex (Mark O’Brien). Because the Le Domas family struck a deal with a devil years before, Grace had to endure a lethal game of Hide and Seek in order to survive. The ending of Ready or Not was fairly conclusive, so it’s unclear how the premise will continue the story.

Radio Silence aka Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are returning to direct the sequel alongside the first film’s screenwriters, Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.

This is for those who’ve been waiting, and those who didn’t see it coming.”
Searchlight Pictures hasn’t set a release date for Ready or Not: Here I Come. But the sequel will begin filming next week in Toronto.

And there’s an unbelievable opening scene with Buzz Lightyears. I can give you that, but I can’t give you much more.”

Steven Soderbergh says that mid-budget movies underperforming at the box office is ‘not a good thing for movies’
After Steven Soderbergh's Black Bag underperformed at the domestic box office despite a strong critical response, the director reflected on the movie's public reception. In speaking with The Independent, Soderbergh said that the muted reception for his movie is a bad omen for Hollywood more generally.
“This is the kind of film I made my career on,” he said. “And if a mid-level budget, star-driven movie can’t seem to get people over the age of 25 years old to come out to theaters — if that’s truly a dead zone — then that’s not a good thing for movies. What’s gonna happen to the person behind me who wants to make this kind of film?”
