We love a good sequel, especially when it intelligently turns what you thought you knew from the first movie on its head, giving it reason and purpose. You know, the exact opposite of The Rise of Skywalker (here we go).
In the first movie we met Stephen Lang’s Norman Nordstrom aka The Blind Man, who quickly waged war on a bunch of teens breaking into his house. He was a force of nature that took too much pleasure in carving up his victims, but this time out, we see that Nordstrom is settled, happy and putting all his energy into looking after a young girl, Pheonix. Until someone comes to the house looking for her. Then the Nordstrom we know comes back to settle things.
By the way, I thought I should mention, Lang is 68! Man, he’s in some nick.
“Don’t Breathe 2” is set in the years following the initial deadly home invasion as depicted in the first film. Norman Nordstrom (Lang) lives in quiet solace until his past sins catch up to him. While Norman was the terrorizer in the first film, he’s now the one being targeted and fighting back against evil.
Original director Fede Álvarez is stepping back and letting newcomer Rodo Sayagues take the reins.
Don’t Breathe 2 stars Stephen Lang (Avatar, Tombstone), Madelyn Grace (Grey’s Anatomy), and Brendan Sexton III (El Camino, Black Hawk Down).
It will be released exclusively in theaters nationwide on August 13, 2021.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
