‘Fear Street Part 2: 1978’ Clip Accuses “Stranger Things” Star Sadie Sink of Being a Witch [Video]
It’s Fear Street season with Netflix already releasing the sequel this coming Friday.
Earlier this week Netflix dropped the trailer and now we have a second clip from Fear Street Part 2: 1978 in which “Stranger Things” breakout star Sadie Sink‘s “Ziggy” is assaulted by a group of campers and accused of being possessed by the witch, Sarah Fier. She’s tied up under the same tree where Sarah was executed with one of the teenagers offering up a pretty serious threat: witches are supposed to be burned alive.
Fear Street Part 1: 1994, in which Meagan wrote, “carves up a solid ode to ‘90s slashers,” was released globally this past holiday weekend on the streaming service. In Fear Street Part 2: 1978, “Shadyside, 1978. School’s out for summer and the activities at Camp Nightwing are about to begin. But when another Shadysider is possessed with the urge to kill, the fun in the sun becomes a gruesome fight for survival.”
Fear Street Part 2: 1978 premieres this Friday, July 9, while Fear Street Part 3: 1666 finishes out the trilogy on July 16. All three films are directed by Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon) and inspired by R.L. Stine‘s Fear Street books.
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.”
