June 2 (UPI) -- Horror sequel Black Phone 2 is set to open in theaters Oct. 17. Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeline McGraw and Jeremy Davies are reprising their roles from the original 2022 blockbuster, while The Nun and The Grudge alum Demian Bichir is joining the ensemble for the follow-up. Both Blumhouse films were written, produced and directed by Scott Derrickson, whose credits include The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Doctor Strange. "Four years ago, 13-year-old Finn (Thames) killed his abductor and escaped, becoming the sole survivor of The Grabber (Hawke). But true evil transcends death... and the phone is ringing again," a synopsis said. "As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen (McGraw) begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp known as Alpine Lake," the summary continued. "Determined to solve the mystery and end the torment for both her and her brother, Gwen persuades Finn to visit the camp during a winter storm. There, she uncovers a shattering intersection between The Grabber and her own family's history. Together, she and Finn must confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death and more significant to them than either could imagine."

The Black Phone became a box office hit upon its 2021 release, with several critics praising its thrilling tone and the rare villainous turn from Hawke, 54. "I've always had this theory that when you teach an audience how to see the demon inside you, they don't unsee it for the rest of your career. Jack Nicholson can be playing an accountant and you're still waiting for him to explode like he did in The Shining," Hawke said in an Entertainment Weekly interview at the time. "But I realized I'm on the other side of 50 and it's time to put a new tool in the tool kit. Villains might be my future." Black Phone 2 is in theaters Oct. 17. Read the original article on People

Chilling First Trailer for BLACK PHONE 2 - "Dead Is Just a Word" — GeekTyrant
Universal Pictures has released the first trailer and poster for Scott Derrickson's horror film Black Phone 2 , and it sees the return of Ethan Hawke's villainous character The Grabber, who is haunting Finney (Mason Thames) and Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) from beyond the grave. This looks like it's going to be a pretty creepy sequel. I loved the first film, and I'm excited to see how the next chapter of this story plays out! The director previously described the film as 'a high school coming-of-age movie in the same way that the first movie was a middle school coming-of-age film." The creator of the story, Joe Hill, said: "There have been some really, really good conversations about a sequel. And the thing is, as soon as I saw the mask, which was designed by Tom Savini and Jason Baker, as soon as I saw the mask I thought, 'If this film is a hit, there'll be a sequel,' because the mask is so iconic. 'It is like Freddy Krueger's glove, it is like Michael Myers' mask, it is this thing where it's the imagery, iconic imagery, that haunts people's sleep. 'And, look, in horror, guys like Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger, and Frankenstein, and Dracula, none of these guys stay buried. They all claw their way out of the grave for a sequel and then a threequel." He continued, "There have been talks about how to do a sequel that wouldn't suck. How to do a sequel that doesn't cheapen the film that came before, that's still scary, that's still intense, that feels organic. 'And those conversations have been pretty good. But if I were to provide any details, Scott and [writer C. Robert] Cargill would lock me in the basement in the film, and that's it. 'And the phone doesn't work. As you know, the phone doesn't work. I can't call anyone to get out. So I would decline to offer any real granular details about the possible sequel." The Black Phone 2 in theaters on October 17, 2025.
