We’ve been reporting this with fingers tightly crossed for well over two years now but it’s finally, officially happening… Ready or Not is getting a sequel!
Yes, THR has confirmed that the star of the first movie Samara Weaving is back along with directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett and Chad Villella – collectively known as Radio Silence – along with writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
In the first 2019 movie, Weaving’s Grace married into a very wealthy family who made their fortune through board games and, on the night of the wedding, she ended up playing what she thought was a family tradition and a harmless game of hide and seek… but very quickly she was fighting for her life against a bunch of people she thought she could safe and perhaps the devil himself.
The movie pretty-much launched the career of Weaving and Radio Silence, who went on to make Scream V and Scream VI and then their own project, Abigail, which we have since learned is set in the same reality as Ready or Not, so it’s also very exciting to see this universe expanding even further as it’s been a heck of a lot of fun so far.
Just a few weeks ago Weaving said of the project: “I’m all in. I think we’re all in, I don’t know. I think we’re all in.
“I don’t know if we’ve had our blood handshake, but pretty much. We’ve done the spit handshake, but we haven’t cut each other’s hands and rubbed our blood together.”
Confirmed: Ready Or Not and Abigail take place in the same world
Well, it seems the bloody handshakes have happened now and the game is once again afoot.
We here at FTN HQ have been praying for this movie for a long time as we’re suckers for a great shared universe as well as a series with a potentially massive expansion and unlimited possibilities, it really feels like a world crying out for comics, games, animation and more.
Plus, we’re all in love with Weaving here and want to see more of her being a total bad-ass.
Thoughts? I know you have them…
