‘Brightburn 2’? The H Collective Is Actively Developing a Sequel
It’s now been four years since the release of David Yarovesky’s Brightburn, a horror take on Young Superman that was notably produced by James Gunn. The film told the origin story of super-villain Brandon Breyer, and it pulled in over $33 million worldwide on a $6 million production budget. That sounds like just about enough to warrant a sequel, eh?
Deadline reports today, “The H Collective is launching H3 Entertainment, a company it says will look to integrate the Metaverse, Web3 and AI into a slate of films.”
“The company tells us it intends to incorporate new technology into the production process of projects it has in development, including a sequel to horror movie Brightburn (the IP is co-owned by H Collective and fellow producer James Gunn),” the site’s report continues.
Mark Rau, H3 Entertainment CEO, explained: “Incorporating new technologies into our workflow is about enhancing and complementing, not replacing the human touch in filmmaking. Our primary commitment remains with our skilled workforce. We are determined to use technology to assist, not overshadow, the irreplaceable human touch in cinema.”
The gory super-villain film, starring Elizabeth Banks, David Denman and Jackson A. Dunn, asked a simple question: What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister?
The final moments of Brightburn opened up the film’s world, teasing that Brandon isn’t the only super-person out there. Endless sequel potential here, to say the very least.
Stay tuned for more on a potential Brightburn 2 as we learn it.
