Jason Blum Vows to Finish HAPPY DEATH DAY Trilogy
Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2U are fun flicks. We already know director Christopher Landon and star Jessica Rothe want to return for Happy Death Day 3. And today, Blumhouse founder Jason Blum pretty much vows to finish the trilogy.
Blum tells GameSpot: “It’s a trilogy. I’ve got to make the third one. Maybe after Freaky, we’ll figure it out. Both of us really want to do it. So hopefully we’ll figure it out. That’s a perfect [premium video-on-demand] movie. Universal has this agreement–17 days in the theater. The same as Freaky, 17 days in a theater and then [it] goes to PVOD. We should make Happy Death Day 3 for that system. I mean, if that movie isn’t right for it, I don’t know what is. So that’s what it would be.”
He adds: “I think most of my movies going forward will work very well in that system–will work very well with a shortened theatrical window, then going straight to premium VOD. I think that that system will be very good for Blumhouse.”
Happy Death Day centered on a blissfully self-centered collegian who wakes up on her birthday with the eerie feeling that she’s experienced the events of this day before. When a masked killer suddenly takes her life in a brutal attack, she magically wakes up unharmed. Now, the frightened young woman must relive the same day over and over until she figures out who murdered her.
Happy Death Day 2U then found our heroine waking up in horror to learn that she’s stuck in a parallel universe. Her boyfriend, her friends and fellow students seem to be completely different versions of themselves. When Tree discovers that Carter’s roommate has been altering time, she finds herself once again the target of a masked killer. When the psychopath starts to go after her inner circle, Tree soon realizes that she must die over and over again to save everyone.
