Christopher Landon, director of the HappyDeathDay franchise, is 'still holding out hope' for a third movie.
The campy slasher film, Happy Death Day, was an instant hit upon release in 2017. However, despite the horror film getting a sequel titled Happy Death Day 2U just two years after the release of the first, director Christopher Landon previously said that the chances for the third film are "dimming" due to its underwhelming performance at the box office.
After working on Happy Death Day and Freaky, Landon has delved into the family adventure genre with the upcoming film We Have a Ghost, starring David Harbour, Anthony Mackie and Jennifer Coolidge. But despite his most recent endeavor, the director expressed his desire to return to the worlds of Tree Gelbman and Millie Kessler once again.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "It would definitely be Happy Death Day 3. I have that movie in my head, and I know exactly what I want. It’s actually a bigger movie than the previous two films, and that’s part of the issue, ultimately. This third movie needs a bigger budget, but since the second movie didn’t perform as well as the first, it’s a tall order. But I’m still holding out hope that Universal will give me a chance because it would be a really fun conclusion.
Happy Death Day established itself as one of the horror movies that can take viewers in different directions, all while maintaining its fun and thrilling nature. The story centers on Tree, a college student who has been murdered on her birthday by a masked killer.
Along with Rothe, Israel Broussard, Phi Vu, and Ruby Modine also appear in Happy Death Day and its sequel. One can only hope that Universal will eventually approve Happy Death Day 3. In the meantime, check out Collider's interview with Landon and Jason Blum for Happy Death Day 2U below:
