Blumhouse’s 2018 horror film Truth or Dare was really a fairly massive hit. The film wasn’t actually one of the best film, but it surely was made on a $3.5 million price range and it ended up pulling in $95 million on the field workplace. That’s a large revenue, and, surprisingly, they didn’t observe it up with a sequel. But, there was an thought for a sequel, and it appears like it could’ve made a enjoyable film!
Truth or Dare director Jeff Wadlow supplied some perception on the unproduced sequel in an interview with Variety, saying:
“We actually wrote a ‘Truth or Dare’ sequel. In the first one, there’s about nine characters and seven of them die. I didn’t want to do a ‘Final Destination’-style sequel or ‘Truth or Dare’ and it’s happening again to a different group of people. It just seemed kind of boring to me.”
Wadlow goes on to clarify that the sequel thought he got here up with got here out of the real-life friendship between the solid members of the primary movie. They jokingly tossed across the thought of a meta sequel the place they play themselves, and after the idea was pitched to Wadlow, he wrote a script titled Truth or Dare IRL. The complete idea was impressed by Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. Wadlow revealed:
“It begins with Markie and Olivia, Lucy and [Violett Beane’s] characters. They’re in this scene, and it feels like our ‘Final Destination’ kind-of ‘Truth or Dare’ scene, and Markie starts laughing in the middle of it. You hear, ‘Cut!’ and the director walks on the set, and we do the ‘New Nightmare’ treatment where we reveal that Lucy and Violett are still friends. They’re going to go on this trip with the other actors from ‘Truth or Dare,’ with Tyler, Landon [Liboiron] and Sam [Lerner].
“Everyone who was in the first film, they’re all buddies, and we find out what happened is the writers of the first film had researched a real demon. Just as Calux can haunt a game in the film, he’s now decided to haunt a movie in the real world. It was scary and surreal and funny and played a lot with subjectivity.”
That would’ve been a nice strategy to deal with the sequel! So, why didn’t Blumhouse roll ahead with it? Producer Jason Blum ordered Truth or Dare IRL to be shot in the course of the begin of the covid-19 quarantine, and through that point every part fell aside.
Wadlow doesn’t assume the sequel will get made now, saying “The ship has sailed.” It appears like it could have made a higher movie than the primary one.
