When io9 interviewed Danny and Michael Philippou—the siblings behind Talk to Me, the summer time’s scariest film—they described the “mythology bible” they assembled to maintain observe of the story’s many creepy spirits. Now, it appears in addition they picked up their cameras to create further contextual materials.
If you’ve seen Talk to Me (and when you haven’t, this isn’t a spoiler), you already know 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 observe down his brother, Duckett, who’s been performing very unusual. Almost like he’s possessed. Then, issues get scary and violent actually quick—setting the tone as Talk to Me segues into its essential story.
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Danny Philippou defined there’s already an expanded model of that scene that might see the sunshine of day ultimately: “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.”
He went on to not-so-subtly recommend they’d be greater than prepared to make a sequel if the chance presents itself, almost repeating what he stated to io9, which was: “Even while writing the first film, I was writing scenes for the second film; it’s exciting to feel like there’s a bigger world and more story to tell, which there is. So if someone were to give us funding for a second film, I would jump on that. I’d love that so much. It would be amazing.” (The brothers, who’re hooked up to a Street Fighter film, even have extra unique concepts within the financial institution; as Danny added to THR, “We do have another horror script called Bring Her Back that I’d love to make next.”)
With the film already a success—and a remaining 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 Talk to Me sequel quickly. And the “prequel” sounds prefer it’d make a nifty particular characteristic as soon as Talk to Me will get its dwelling launch. For now, it’s nonetheless poised to scare you foolish in theaters.
