Yeon Sang-ho Reportedly Working On a Sequel to the Zombie Film ‘Train to Busan’
Not going to mince words here. Yeon Sang-ho’s South Korean zombie flick Train to Busan, released in 2016, is one of the best zombie movies of all time. Intense, terrifying and packed with emotional depth, it’s also just plain one of the best horror movies in recent years. So we’re VERY excited to hear that a sequel is reportedly in the works!
As reported by AllKPop, a representative for Sang-ho has confirmed today that a Train to Busan sequel is in its early planning stage, with the working title Peninsula.
The site details, “The film will revisit the same zombie virus that was seen in the original movie, except this time the focus will be expanded to the entire Korean peninsula.”
“We are planning to begin filming in the first half of next year,” the press was reportedly informed today. “We still have not cast any actors, so we are still preparing a lot of different things.”
Train to Busan previously got a prequel in the form of animated film Seoul Station.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
