Patrick Brice Talks Potential ‘Creep 3’; Would Take Franchise “Off the Rails”

Published

Mark Duplass’ magnetically terrifying “Josef”/”Aaron”/”Peachfuzz” is back in director Patrick Brice‘s just-released Creep 2 (read my review), a strange and wonderful sequel that takes the story of the titular character down a deeply fascinating new path. If you haven’t seen it, or the first film, watch them BOTH immediately.

So then, what’s the future of the series? Will Creep become a trilogy or have we seen the last of Peachfuzz? Speaking with Phantom Podcast Network, Brice revealed this week that he *hopes* to make Creep 3… though nothing is certain at this time.

I can neither confirm nor deny [another sequel] at this point. But we’re definitely having conversations,” Brice told the podcast. “I’ve been thinking more and more about it. I like the idea of… Creep 2 is kind of our Evil Dead 2. It was kind of our chance to take a lot of the ideas and themes that we had going through the first movie and then playing on those towards a specific audience. Letting it be funnier.”

He continued, “I like the idea of, if we do a third movie, it being our Army of Darkness. Ya know. Going kind of off the rails. We’ll see.”

Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.

Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.

Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”

Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”

David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.

XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
