‘The Strangers’ Bets Big: Why a 3-Film Horror ‘Odyssey’ Is Dropping in One Year, Plans for a 4-Hour Cut and What’s Next in ‘Chapter 2’ (EXCLUSIVE)
'The Strangers' horror franchise is betting big on a trilogy of movies released in one year.
The original 2008 film, inspired by real-life break-ins and the Charles Manson murders, starred Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman as a not-so-happy couple who get an unwelcome knock at their door in the middle of the night. No stranger to horror, Harlin has helmed installments of “Nightmare on Elm Street” and “The Exorcist” plus action thrillers like “Die Hard 2” and “Cliffhanger” over his 40-year career. Simply doing a sequel or remake didn’t appeal to me, but this was such an opportunity to have four and a half hours of a case study of victims of a violent crime and the perpetrators and what makes them tick and how it affects a person who goes through this.”
