Stephen Lang Wraps Filming on ‘Don’t Breathe’ Sequel!
Finally, a bit of good news out of this tedious year!
It appears that the sequel to Fede Alvarez‘s Don’t Breathe has not only gone behind cameras but is close to, if not done filming.
Stephen Lang, who returns as the “Blind Man”, tells fans on Twitter that he’s personally wrapped in Belgrade.
I’m wrapped! A splendidly rugged shoot. Thank you Belgrade. All health and safety protocols observed to the letter. Well done all! #@DontBreathe #@DontBreatheMovie pic.twitter.com/u8CUBIBCVc

Alvarez did not return to direct the sequel, rumored to be titled Don’t Breathe Again. His replacement? Rodo Sayagues, the co-writer of Don’t Breathe. Sayagues also co-wrote Alvarez’s Evil Dead.
“Don’t Breathe 2 is set several years after the home invasion of the first movie, with the Blind Man living in quiet solace…until his past sins catch up to him.”
Bloody Disgusting was able to obtain more information, learning that:
In Don’t Breathe 2, the Blind Man has been hiding out for years in an isolated cabin and has taken in and raised a young girl orphaned from a house fire.
Their quiet existence is shattered when a group of kidnappers show up and take the girl, forcing the Blind Man to leave his safe haven to save her.
Interesting. It sounds as if they’ve turned the Blind Man into the film’s protagonist?
In Don’t Breathe, a trio of thieves broke into the Blind Man’s house learning that he isn’t as helpless as he seems. Jane Levy starred as one of those unlucky thieves, named Rocky, who survives her harrowing ordeal.
No word yet on whether or not Levy will be back for the sequel, or if the film will tell an entirely different story altogether.
Watch this spot for release news as it comes in.
Zazie Beetz must fight her way through a New York City high-rise serving as a temple to Satan in They Will Kill You, and it’s officially set to make its global streaming debut next week.
They Will Kill You begins streaming exclusively on HBO Max on Friday, June 12. The film will debut on HBO linear on June 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Beetz leads the cast as Asia, who must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering. Patricia Arquette, Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, and Heather Graham also star.
Kirill Sokolov (Why Don’t You Just Die!) directs from a script he co-wrote with Alex Litvak (Predators).
IT filmmaker Andy Muschietti produces alongside Barbara Muschietti and Dan Kagan. Executive producers include Sokolov, Litvak, Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, and Carl Hampe.
The raucous action horror comedy delivers on blood-splattery fun, but was overshadowed by high profile sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. It’s worth a watch for the talented cast, who commit to Sokolov’s zany action horror beats, include a rogue eyeball.
I wrote in my SXSW review, “Sokolov’s striking composition, dedication to carnage-fueled stunts and fight choreography, and an all-too-game cast anchored by a dedicated and fierce Zazie Beetz prevent this slight but energetic crowd-pleaser from careening off the rails.” And, “it’s so brazen and unabashed in its pursuit of cinematic thrills and splatstick chills that it succeeds in its aim, which is to deliver a riotously great time at the theater.”
More of a physical media fan? On June 30, 2026, They Will Kill You will be available to own on 4K UHD™, Blu-ray™, and DVD from online and physical retailers.
