When io9 interviewed Danny and Michael Philippou—the siblings behind Talk to Me, the summer season’s scariest film—they described the “mythology bible” they assembled to maintain monitor of the story’s many creepy spirits. Now, it appears in addition they picked up their cameras to create extra contextual materials.
When you’ve seen Speak to Me (and if you happen to haven’t, this isn’t a spoiler), you recognize it opens with a scene that foreshadows what’ll occur to the film’s core characters as soon as they arrive into contact with a sure embalmed hand. We see a younger man making an attempt to trace down his brother, Duckett, who’s been appearing very unusual. Virtually like he’s possessed. Then, issues get scary and violent actually quick—setting the tone as Speak to Me segues into its essential story.
Talking to the Hollywood Reporter, Danny Philippou defined there’s already an expanded model of that scene that would see the sunshine of day finally: “We truly shot a complete Duckett prequel already. It’s advised fully by way of the attitude of cell phones and social media, so perhaps down the road we will launch that.”
He went on to not-so-subtly counsel they’d be greater than able to make a sequel if the chance presents itself, practically repeating what he said to io9, which was: “Even whereas writing the primary movie, I used to be writing scenes for the second movie; it’s thrilling to really feel like there’s a much bigger world and extra story to inform, which there’s. So if somebody have been to provide us funding for a second movie, I might leap on that. I’d love that a lot. It will be superb.” (The brothers, who’re hooked up to a Road Fighter film, even have extra unique concepts within the financial institution; as Danny added to THR, “We do have one other horror script referred to as Convey Her Again that I’d like to make subsequent.”)
With the film already successful—and a ultimate scene that completely leaves the door open for extra freaky adventures with that excellently damaging hand—right here’s hoping we get an replace on that Speak to Me sequel quickly. And the “prequel” sounds prefer it’d make a nifty particular characteristic as soon as Speak to Me will get its dwelling launch. For now, it’s nonetheless poised to scare you foolish in theaters.
