Director Confirmed For 'The Strangers: Part 2'

I hate to get all bitchy and whiny, but we really, really, really push hard to bring you the news first, and when a conglomerate like Variety refuses to drop us credit, it's infuriating. Last night, they broke what they call "exclusive" news that Laurent Briet will be getting behind the camera for The Strangers: Part 2, a story we reported back in March (yes, four effin' months ago). But whatever, you guys are here and that's all that matters. Back on track, shooting begins this fall. Bryan Bertino, who wrote and directed the first film, wrote the sequel. They're trying to keep the story under wraps, but it takes place in a trailer park, so there ya go. Liv Tyler is said to be returning for the opening scene, although that news has yet to be confirmed. The sequel will be distributed by Rogue, which is wholly owned by Relativity.

Yes, definately see The Strangers. I thought it was one of the better horror movies to come out that year.

Meh it was good but I still think Ils did it better. Watch that first then watch The Strangers. Only the first half of The Strangers was tense, last act kind of was a letdown to a great build.

Fear and Loathing.. i was excited to see the film in theatres but the first one is pure crap.. horrible horror movie..

I thought the first film was excellent, apart from some of the scenes where it kept dragging on. I just hope they keep the mysteriious feeling of the strangers like in the first one.

Yeah, don't you hate it when sites claim "Exclusive News" even though other sites had been running the news for several hours beforehand? Kinda like what BD does constantly?

So basically if Liv Tyler is only back for the opening scene, that pretty much confirms she'll die. I wish she'd live to get revenge on the strangers...perhaps she'll return at the very end to kill them. In any case, I'm hella excited for this movie since I loved the first one. It'll be interesting to see what goes down in that unfortunate trailer park...

BD is the only place I go for movie news- literally... Anyways, if the sequel is anything like the original, I'll love it. The first one was just so well made. Hopefully they keep the eerie, realistic tone of the original.

Frogger, fuck off! you have NO say on this site (IMO) and NO credibility here seeing as how you felt the need to RUIN THE ENDING/TWIST to ORPHAN for everyone. i said it before to your spoiler post about you and i'll say it again, you are a total fucking douche. and if you hate BD so much go somewhere else, tool. even Mr. D (one of the admins here) was pissed at you for the SPOILER.

I can't freakin' wait! I was one of few who liked The Strangers. I just loved the feel. It reminded me so much of Halloween and other 70s films. I hope the sequel is awesome as well. Yeah, djblack1313, funny thing is that I got Orphan spoiled for me not here, but on the Harry Potter board on IMDB. So I know how it feels for a douche to ruin things for everybody. That was the last place I thought I would have it spoiled for me.

You have to remember the casual mainstream movie fan probably doesnt venture to BD at all or even know about it for that matter. So for Variety to say they have the exclusive is yeah crap, but at the same time the casual "scary movie fan" isnt going to know the difference and are going to take it as they heard it from Variety first. BD is here for people like us, people who watch horror all the time and are in a sense obsessed with it. This is a great site and I wouldnt be worried about some shitty Variety taking any true horror followers. Just my 2 cents on that matter as for the movie itself. This sounds good, I really enjoyed the first one so Im there.

"Frogger, fuck off! you have NO say on this site (IMO)" That made me laugh. Thanks!

THE STRANGERS isn't a horror - it's a thriller/terror film - and an excellent one at that ! I'll be watching the second for sure

Agree with eatcheese that The Strangers is thriller, not horror. So, "set in a trailer park" but the plot is a secrete hu? - I'm guessing "3 masked psychos terrorises the inhabitants of a Trailer". Do we really need another scary movie staring trailer trash? - that's what we have Rob Zombie for... I did kinda like the first one though; I've often said that a movie was great "once it got going", but The Strangers is the first movie I've ever told my friends was "A great film UNTILL it got going" - the first half was amazing - the strangers creeping around in the house, moving things, wondering if LT will turn around and see the masked man lurking behind her - gripping stuff... ...But then, when she finally does see them, it's all downhill. Also I hated the fact that it starts with the words "no-one really knows what happened" - yes they do - there was a survivor!!! </rant>

FROGGER, and apparently being a fucking loser douche must make you VERY happy! well you DO that REALLY well.

I can't wait to see this (I loved the first), but at the same time - why is BD bitching about not recieving credit? I know for a fact that BD doesn't give credit to some people who submit updates to this site.

Slasher_Guy, VERY true! well said! BD is the last site/person who should complain about not receiving cred for heads up/info/etc. they do it ALL the time now.

"Also I hated the fact that it starts with the words "no-one really knows what happened" - yes they do - there was a survivor!!!" -- Not necessarily, if she's getting bumped off in the first few minutes of the sequel before she gets a chance to talk to the cops ;). I'm looking forward to a sequel and I'd like to see Bryan Bertino at the helm of 'Halloween 3', ta.
