In a bizzare twist, It seems as if the powers that be are going to make a direct sequel to the original TCM film. This is a strangely odd move, as the film series has already been rebooted. If this is pulled off, I believe this will be the first major horror film that has a direct sequel to the original film made AFTER the film itself has been rebooted. Keep in mind that this was the first of many major horror films from the '70s and '80s to be rebooted in the 2024's.
I personally would enjoy seeing Gunnar Hansen return to the role, he himself is apparently opened to returning, as he was the first one approached to do the reboot, but declined!
Well really this will be the 2nd time they would make a direct sequel to another original horror series, Godzilla was the 1st that did a sequel to the original way back in 1984 and ignore all the other Godzilla sequels in between from 1955 to 1975. But yeah this is the 1st time for hollywood trying to make a new sequel to the original TCM and I hope they pull it off!
