Yesterday that we passed along a too-good-to-be-true rumor that Blumhouse had begun developing a third HAPPY DEATH DAY movie. But it looks like the rumor's been shut down by writer-director Christopher Landon who says HAPPY DEATH DAY 3 ain't happening …Unless Netflix picks it up.
Landon took to Twitter to say:
Since I keep reading stuff about it, I’ll say it loud: THERE IS NO HAPPY DEATH DAY 3 IN DEVELOPMENT. It’s just a rumor…unless Netflix wants to pony-up and finish this trilogy, it just ain’t happening.
Weak.
I may be in the minority here, but I still up for more BabyFace Killer. I think the series is getting wackier and wackier and that's not a bad thing all said and done. What do you think? Are you up for HAPPY DEATH DAY 3 or do you think Blumhouse should let sleeping blondes lie? Let us know below!
Here are the rundowns on the two (current) tales of time-warping terror:
In Happy Death Day, Teresa "Tree" Gelbman's birthday is the worst day of her life, starting when she wakes up in a stranger's bed. It's also the last day of her life, ending when she's killed by a psychotic killer with a knife. She's dead. And then she wakes up in a stranger's bed, it's September 18, and she has to live it all over again . . . until she's hunted down and wakes up, again, and again. It's a Groundhog Day situation, only with murder, guns, and mean girls, and Tree's only shot at living to see the next day is to relive the day of her murder, over and over, until she discovers her killer's identity.
Happy Death Day 2U picks up the story without missing a beat. Tree Gelbman thought she'd finally lived to see a brand-new day. But when she wakes up on her same birthday and an all-new psychopath in a mask is out to kill her and her friends, she's going to find out that all the rules have changed. Death makes a killer comeback.
