Fede Alvarez Has Script for the ‘Don’t Breathe’ Sequel
Before directing The Girl in the Spider’s Web, Fede Alvarez put his stamp on the Evil Dead remake and also helmed the ridiculously suspenseful Don’t Breathe, two films that both warrant a sequel.
While out promoting The Girl in the Spider’s Web, Alvarez was asked about long-gestured sequels to both films and got right down to the nitty-gritty. While Evil Dead could happen in the future, right now he prefers to get a Don’t Breathe sequel off the ground and even revealed that there’s a completed screenplay. Unfortunately, he may not direct.
“It doesn’t mean that we won’t make them. And that I make them might not be that I’m directing, but I might be producing,” he told Movieweb. “They’re just ideas right now. Nothing to announce officially. We do have a script for Don’t Breathe 2. That’s the only difference. We don’t have a script for Evil Dead 2. But we do have a script for Don’t Breathe 2 that we wrote. Once I’m done with [The Girl in the Spider’s Web] we’re gonna start thinking of ways to bring that story to the screen. Me directing or me producing. It really depends on the time that we’ll have. I’m particularly excited about that because it’s a really different sequel, when it comes to sequels. It’s a very different approach and I’m excited about that.”
In Don’t Breathe, a trio of thieves breaks into the house of a blind man who isn’t as helpless as he seems. Alvarez reteamed with Evil Dead star Jane Levy on the film, which left the door open for a sequel.

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
