Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett tease the plot of the You’re Subsequent sequel and why they’re glad they by no means made it.
You’re Subsequent put a delightfully bloody spin on the house invasion style, incomes the movie a passionate cult following that has solely grown since its launch in 2011. Though the ending of You’re Subsequent did go away the door open for a sequel, a follow-up by no means materialized. Nevertheless, that doesn’t imply that director Adam Wingard and author Simon Barrett didn’t contemplate it.
In a brand new commentary monitor (through Bloody Disgusting) on the movie’s new 4K Extremely HD Steelbook launch, Wingard and Barrett detailed the sequel and defined why they’re glad they by no means made it.
“Originally, [the Lamb Mask killer] got decapitated in the script with his hand pinned to his head,” Barrett stated. “However then we have been like, ‘Ah, perfect opportunity, because this film’s gonna be an enormous theatrical success, everybody’s telling us, so for You’re Subsequent 2 we’ll simply deliver [L.C. Holt] again because the Lamb Masks killer.’ However as a result of his frontal cortex is broken by getting stabbed within the brow, he received’t be capable to really feel ache anymore. He’ll be form of crazier now, and he needs revenge for his brother.“
Barrett continued, “Our sequel concept, which I’m glad we didn’t do, was the notion that Erin can be arrested. She’d be mainly blamed for the murders. Resulting from her jarring Australian accent, a jury would railroad her. She’d be immediately despatched to jail by the corrupt American judicial system. Whereas she’s chained to all these different prisoners, their jail van will get attacked. So it was gonna be form of a Reduce-Throats 9 factor, the place she’s chained to a bunch of different prisoners, and so they all take refuge in a meth lab close to the accident. We have been gonna use all of the meth lab booby traps. Principally, my level is, it’s actually good we didn’t make this film. It might simply make you want this movie much less.“
Wingard and Barrett have reunited for Onslaught, a “gonzo action horror thriller” starring Adria Arjona as “a mother who falls back on a particular set of skills in order to protect her loved ones after she runs afoul of a threat that has escaped a secret military base.” The movie additionally stars Dan Stevens, Rebecca Corridor, Drew Starkey, Michael Biehn, Reginald VelJohnson, Eric Wareheim, and Alex Pereira.
