If you’re seeing Halloween this weekend, and we assume that’s literally all of you guys, you may want to arrive early to your local theater. We’ve learned today that Blumhouse will be debuting the trailer for the freshly titled Happy Death Day 2U before Halloween, and from what we gather, it may not actually be coming online until a later date.
Blumhouse did a similar thing with Unfriended: Dark Web earlier this year, debuting the trailer in theaters and then holding off a few weeks before dropping it online.
Jessica Rothe will be returning as main character Tree Gelbman, while Israel Broussard will also be back as Carter Davis, Tree’s boyfriend. Ruby Modine reprises her role as Lori Spengler with Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi) and Sarah Yarkin (“American Horror Story”) also starring.
Rothe detailed sequel plans earlier this year…
“The sequel, the way he described it to me, elevates the movie from being a horror movie – and I wouldn’t even say it’s just a horror movie because it’s a horror, comedy, rom-com drama – into a Back to the Future type of genre film where the sequel joins us right from where we left off, it explains a lot of things in the first one that didn’t get explained, and it elevates everything,” Rothe told Collider.
Christopher Landon returns to direct Happy Death Day 2U, arriving February 14, 2019.
