\n\tPlenty of sequels flirt with nonexistence, and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come<\/em> is no exception. But even if filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett hadn\u2019t gotten the chance to make their upcoming follow-up, they very nearly blew its entire premise on a post-credits scene in the original.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t think we ever thought of a sequel,\u201d Bettinelli-Olpin told a South by Southwest crowd in Austin over the weekend. \u201cI think we thought we were making it this is one and done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2019 original starred Samara Weaving as a woman, Grace, who, on her wedding night, discovers that she\u2019s married into a cabal of extremely wealthy satanists. The Le Domas family inform her that she has to survive until dawn while they hunt her down in service of the devil \u2014\u00a0who they simply refer to as \u201cMr. Le Bail.\u201d It\u2019s very bloody, very funny and, it\u2019s not a spoiler to say given the sequel, Weaving\u2019s character ultimately gets her final girl victory.<\/p>\n

\n\tNo. 2 picks up exactly where the first left off, revealing that the cabal is much larger (and even richer) than the audience has been led to believe.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy] had written a scene, a post-credit tag for the first movie, that we just didn\u2019t have the time or budget to shoot,\u201d said Gillett. \u201cIt was essentially a bunch of blue bloods, standing at a convention center talking shit about the Le Domas family. Two couples walk into a grand ballroom, and it\u2019s filled with other Le Bail acolytes. The seed of the mythology was certainly planted in that scene and it definitely was rattling around in very bizarre brains of Guy and Ryan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVia machinations that are explained during some swift exposition, the expanded universe of satanic one-percenters force Grace into a reprise of the game<\/a> \u2014 this time joined by her estranged sister, Faith, played by Kathryn Newton. Among the actors in their pursuit are Sarah Michelle Gellar (think: a classier and, ostensibly, more murderous riff on Ivanka Trump) and Sean Hatosy (a clear amalgam of the male Trump offspring.) \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of idiots in the world that have a lot of power and have children,\u201d said Hatosy. \u201cI could make a few examples\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHatosy did not cite any specific examples, but the laughter his remarks got from the audience filled in the blanks.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s also a mysterious lawyer played by Elijah Wood and a few others trying to kill Grace and Faith \u2014 N\u00e9stor Carbonell, Olivia Cheng, Nadeem Umar-Khitab \u2014 but Gellar and Hatosy\u2019s Danforth twins are the primary antagonists in a film that relies heavily on actors doing their own stunts. Gellar channels Buffy the Vampire Slayer in a near-perfect recreation of her stake-wielding on the series<\/a> that made her famous. There are also a lot of practical effects, which is helpful in a franchise in which, it\u2019s no longer a spoiler to say, Because, people tend to explode.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s an excitement on set when you\u2019re using practical effects,\u201d add Gillett. \u201cEveryone gathers around the monitor when Sam and Catherine are about to get shot with the blood cannon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe blood cannon gets significantly more use than it did during the original film.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEveryone looked at me and Sam like we were supposed to be excited about it,\u201d said Newton. \u201cWe are getting splattered with goo \u2014 no matter how you cut it. And [our] reactions are real, honest. It\u2019s just better that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is out March 20. <\/em><\/p>\n
