Earlier this year, Sarah Michelle Gellar signed on for Hulu’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival. Now, Gellar is getting back to her horror roots in Ready or Not 2, the sequel to the cult 2019 film. And the sequel is also getting a new name.
Via Variety, the follow-up film is now titled Ready or Not: Here I Come. Samara Weaving starred in the original movie and she is returning to headline the sequel. In the first film, Weaving’s Grace married into the wealthy Le Domas family through her husband, Alex (Mark O’Brien). Because the Le Domas family struck a deal with a devil years before, Grace had to endure a lethal game of Hide and Seek in order to survive. The ending of Ready or Not was fairly conclusive, so it’s unclear how the premise will continue the story.

Radio Silence aka Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are returning to direct the sequel alongside the first film’s screenwriters, Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.

“We’re thrilled to be returning to the world of Ready or Not with Samara, Brett, Avery, and Andrew and so excited to work with this immensely talented cast and the incredible artists across every department joining the Ready or Not family,” said Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett in a statement.
Matthew Greenfield, the president of Searchlight Pictures, shared a statement of his own about the sequel.
“We’re beyond excited to make another film with the phenomenal Radio Silence. With Ready or Not: Here I Come, we get to go on another ride with the amazing Samara Weaving, mix in awesome new voices and bring audiences a fresh take that’s every bit as twisted and fun as the first one. This is for those who’ve been waiting, and those who didn’t see it coming.”
Searchlight Pictures hasn’t set a release date for Ready or Not: Here I Come. But the sequel will begin filming next week in Toronto.

The best Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan collaborations, ranked
Director and screenwriter Ryan Coogler has only made five feature films to date, and all five of them have featured Michael B. Jordan. Coogler and Jordan have proven to be a potent pairing, as evidenced by Sinners' stronger-than-expected performance at the box office over the weekend. That film managed to unseat this year's current box-office champion, A Minecraft Movie, in its third weekend.
Now that Sinners is well on its way to becoming a hit, it's time to look back at all five of the Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan collaborations and rank them from worst to best. Somehow, we doubt that Jordan will be able to star in all of Coogler's subsequent movies. However, this collaboration won't be ending anytime soon. So far, Coogler and Jordan bring out the best in each other.

The footage from Zach Cregger’s Weapons is absolutely terrifying
Much of Zach Cregger's Weapons has been clouded in secrecy. Warner Bros. has kept images, videos, characters, and plot details under lock and key ... until now.
The studio has released the first teaser trailer for Weapons, and the spine-tingling footage previews a terrifying mystery. The video begins with a shot of an alarm clock that reads 2:17 a.m. As the ticking noise intensifies, a man says to a concerned parent, "Mr. Graff, I can understand your passion, and I don’t mind having these conversations with you, because God forbid, if it was my child, I’d be demanding answers too.”
