‘The Black Phone’ director hints there may very well be extra tales to inform

The Black Phone, the most recent venture to return out of Blumhouse Productions earlier than Halloween Ends hits later this 12 months, was one other spherical of rousing, spine-tingling success. Boasting an 82 and 89 % approval ranking on Rotten Tomatoes with critics and audiences, respectively, the Ethan Hawke-led horror flick appears to have dialed the appropriate quantity.

But for a movie that was simply over an hour and a half, there was a large heft to its mythos; what occurred to Finney’s mom? What have been her powers? What did The Grabber undergo as a toddler? The movie’s many nuances left numerous strings to be pulled at, and maybe the runtime of the movie didn’t enable it to achieve its full potential.

But the potential may very well be reached but if all of us preserve an open thoughts concerning the future if director and co-writer Scott Derrickson is to be believed. In an interview with Movie Web, Derrickson mused on the opportunity of increasing the world of The Black Phone with a sequel, saying that regardless of how far sooner or later it could be if it did occur, he would definitely be on board.

It’s one thing I’m very open to. Of course, the studio would love that as a result of it was such an enormous hit. But my gosh, the film continues to be in theaters. I haven’t had time to essentially ponder what that will be but. But I’m actually open to the thought as a result of I do adore it and the characters. It feels to me like there may very well be extra.

The Black Phone is presently enjoying in theaters.
