‘Lights Out 2’ – Horror Sequel in Development at New Line
A sequel to Lights Out was announced a week after the hit original horror film’s release in 2016, but it’s been a full ten years now since we’ve heard a peep about that project.
The Hollywood Reporter breaks the silence this afternoon, reporting that Lights Out 2 has come back to life at New Line. Connor Osborne McIntyre (Animals) will write the script.
Lights Out 2 will be produced by Lawrence Grey, Eric Heisserer, and David F. Sandberg. James Wan’s Atomic Monster is also on board to produce the horror sequel.
Lights Out marked David F. Sandberg’s feature directorial debut, based on his viral short film of the same name. Eric Heisserer (Arrival, Bird Box) penned the script.
In 2016’s Lights Out starring Teresa Palmer, Maria Bello, and Gabriel Bateman, “A supernatural entity reemerges to terrorize a family when the lights go out at night.”
Sandberg had noted last October, “We did have a version of a sequel which it wouldn’t be if we do it now. Well, some of it might be. But that one took place shortly after [the original], but now Martin’s not a kid anymore, so it would have to take place, like, 10 years later.”
He was referring to Gabriel Bateman’s character in that interview, which just goes to show how long New Line took to finally turn the lights back on and bring Lights Out 2 to life.
The original film was made for just $5 million and grossed $149 million in theaters.
