‘Stream 2: Sudden Death’ – Tim Curry Will Return in an Expanded Role
After making a cameo appearance in the slasher movie Stream, the team has announced that acting legend Tim Curry will be back for a larger role in sequel Stream 2: Sudden Death.
The news was first announced by Variety this afternoon.
The filmmaking team previews in a press release, “Tim Curry, whose appearance in the original film helped establish the broader mythology of the series, is set to play a more integral role in the sequel as the filmmakers expand the world introduced in Stream.”
“Tim Curry is someone who has inspired generations of horror fans and filmmakers alike,” said director Michael Leavy. “From the beginning, we envisioned his character as part of a much larger story within the Stream universe. The first film only scratched the surface, and we’re excited to bring him back in a bigger role that audiences will really respond to.”
“Having the opportunity to work with Tim Curry was already surreal, but knowing where this story was headed made it even more special,” added producer Jason Leavy. “His appearance in the original film was designed to plant the seeds for something bigger, and Stream 2: Sudden Death finally allows us to start pulling back the curtain on a much larger scale.”
The project marks the next installment in the growing Stream universe from Fuzz on the Lens Productions, the team behind Terrifier 2, Terrifier 3, Screamboat, and Stream.
The screenplay, which is now complete, was written by “Impractical Jokers” star Brian “Q” Quinn and longtime “Impractical Jokers” producer Joe Imburgio.
Returning cast members include David Howard Thornton (Terrifier, Screamboat), reprising his role as Player 2, and Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night, Black Eyed Susan).
The sequel will also feature the return of original Art the Clown actor Mike Giannelli (All Hallows’ Eve). Stream 2: Sudden Death builds on the foundation of the first installment and raises the stakes with more elaborate, creative kills, a deeper exploration of its dark web world, and the same practical-effects-driven approach that defines the Terrifier franchise.
The original slasher movie Stream is currently available for free streaming on Tubi and Amazon Prime Video, or on DVD and Blu-ray physical media, as well as other major platforms.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
