I don't know about you but I dug the everloving shite out of Blumhouse's recent teen slasher flick HAPPY DEATH DAY. I thought the film was ten-types of fun and so I'm eagerly awaiting the film's sequel which is heading towards production as we speak.
And on the subject of HAPPY DEATH DAY 2, today Deadline reports that the first casting news has been announced with Jessica Rothe returning as Tree, along with Israel Broussard as her boyfriend Carter. On top of that, Suraj Sharma (LIFE OF PI) is joining the new film as Samar Ghosh, "a science enthusiast and geek who enjoys coding in his spare time." And Sarah Yarkin (AMERICAN HORROR STORY) as Dre Morgan, "a science geek and tom-boy with a sleepy feline gaze who is Samar’s partner-in-crime."
Director Christopher Landon is also returning for this sequel and has said the new film "will answer questions to the first installment’s endless time loop," while Rothe says "part 2 will pick up where the first film left off in a Back to the Future-like style." Are you as excited as I am for HAPPY DEATH DAY 2? Make sure to hit us up and let us know what you think in the comments below or on social media!
