The Australian horror film Talk to Me, has been an absolute worldwide smash and success story for A24. Danny and Michael Phillipou are currently also frontrunners to make the new Street Fighter movie, but before that we may get a Talk To Me prequel. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter the brothers discussed how they’ve already shot a Talk To Me prequel in it’s entirety, and stated it’s based on the films opening scenes. It centers on Duckett, a previous victim of the sinister hand at the center of the story. At this point it’s only a short film, but the brothers did reveal it could open the door for a full length feature.
”We actually shot an entire Duckett prequel already. It’s told entirely through the perspective of mobile phones and social media, so maybe down the line, we can release that”, Danny said in the interview. ”But also while writing the first film, you can’t help but write scenes for a second film. So there’s so many scenes. The mythology was so thick, and if A24 gave us the opportunity, we wouldn’t be able to resist. I feel like we’d jump at it”, he continued.
