I don’t know about you but I really enjoyed Blumhouse’s teen horror slasher Happy Death Day. And it’s with this in mind I’m really looking forward to the upcoming sequel.
And speaking of Happy Death Day 2, today we have news via Geek Vibes Nation over on Twitter that the new film will begin filming May 14th in New Orleans.
This news comes on the heels of star Jessica Rothe telling Collider that the new film will be like Back to the Future 2.
“[Director Chris Landon] has done this incredible thing where the sequel, the way he described it to me, elevates the movie from being a horror movie – and I wouldn’t even say it’s just a horror movie because it’s a horror, comedy, rom-com drama – into a Back to the Future type of genre film where the sequel joins us right from where we left off,” Rothe says. “It explains a lot of things in the first one that didn’t get explained, and it elevates everything. I was really pleased to know that we weren’t just gonna be pushing all the buttons that people loved the first time, over and over again, ‘cause I think that gets old. I’m really excited to see if it comes to fruition and, if it does, what the final product looks like. I hope we get to do it! I had a ball!”
