That’s right you heard it, Talk to Me, the breakout horror from the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, will arrive worldwide for audiences this week. I was lucky enough to see it at a Letterboxd media screening and I can tell you it’s one of the best horror films I’ve seen in a while. The even better news is co-directors Danny and Michael Philippou have their sights on a sequel, Talk to Me 2. During an interview with GamesRadar, the brothers explained that while they were working on ‘Talk To Me’, they were mapping ideas out for a sequel.
“When we were writing the first film, we couldn’t help but write scenes for a sequel as well,” Danny said. “Our bible on the movie is so extensive. We’ve got this massive mythology bible where we broke down every single spirit that the kids connected with, every single rule, every single part of the hand, and the history behind it. So I think there’s so much to explore.”
Both have stated they are excited about the prospect of the sequel because there are countless options they can explore.
“It would be so cool to do a sequel,” Danny added. “I’d love that opportunity.”
