Lionsgate announced today it has begun production on The Strangers remake, set to be a trilogy of films being produced in Bratislava, Slovakia. Based on the original 2008 cult horror franchise of the same name, the project features rising star Madelaine Petsch (“Riverdale,” “Jane”), who drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend (Froy Gutierrez, “Cruel Summer,” Hocus Pocus 2, “Teen Wolf”) to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they’re forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers. From there, the filmmakers are expanding the story in new and unexpected ways over three films. Additional cast includes Gabe Basso (Hillbilly Elegy). Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger, Deep Blue Sea, Die Hard 2) is directing from a script by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland (The Freak Brothers, Due Date). Lionsgate will distribute worldwide.

“When setting out to remake The Strangers, we felt there was a bigger story to be told, which could be as powerful, chilling, and terrifying as the original and could really expand that world,” explained producer Courtney Solomon. “Shooting this story as a trilogy allows us to create a hyperreal and terrifying character study. We’re fortunate to be joining forces with Madelaine Petsch, an amazing talent whose character is the driving force of this story.”

The Strangers remake trilogy is produced by Solomon (“Cake,” “After” film franchise), Mark Canton (“Power” Universe, “300”), Christopher Milburn (The Protégé, Unhinged), Gary Raskin (“Midway”), Charlie Dombeck (“The War with Grandpa”), Alastair Birlingham (“Moonfall”) and Executive Producers Andrei Boncea, Dorothy Canton, and Roy Lee, along with co-producer Rafaella Biscayn and Slovakia-based Frame Film SK. Johanna Harlin, Juan Garcia Peredo and Alberto Burgueno also co-produce the film.

Why not just another sequel?

The one from a couple years ago was actually really good

first film a classic horror by the way

The first like hour of the film is phenomenal. Full of real dread and tension

But it started losing me once it become more of a traditional slasher film.

The film had real potential to be something really special though, I'll give the remake a chance even though I don't understand why they already wanna tell the same story

The sequel killed all the strangers, so the writers were probably backed into a corner of telling the story as a prequel or getting outlandish with it (killers surviving would be absurd),

So they’re probably doing it as a remake to disregard the sequel mostly, which did change the tone up quite a bit. Hoping they pursue the tone of the first movie’s first half.

man what the f***

double feature w/ Vacancy.

dug the second flick.
Christina Hendricks
70's style zooms
pool scene

that first half was wild.
state of industry.
running back promos and matches we just saw for the pay day.
easy touchdown if they do it right

vacancy actually underrated

One of my favorite films of all time

you can run a whole "damn I should have stayed my ass at home" marathon w/ the strangers 1 & 2, vacancy 1 & 2, The Rental, Barbarian, X and The Shining
