‘TRICK ‘R TREAT 2’ is Officially Announced

Last night, Trick ‘r Treat showed as the closing night film of Beyond Fest in Los Angeles. The event was pretty well promoted and showed incredible support from Legendary Pictures which has now become a behemoth studio behind Nolan’s Batman films and more. They even provided a Livestream of the film and the Q&A after. However, there were some technical problems at the beginning which were resolved not too long into it. Sadly, I fell asleep due to me being old. I woke up this morning and found out that, as I predicted (seriously, not trying to be a douche) that Trick ‘r Treat 2 has been officially announced.

Luckily, Legendary published the Q&A on their YouTube channel, which I have included below. It’s about 18 minutes long. An unprepared Seth Green hosts the Q&A that has Quinn Lord (Sam), Trick ‘r Treat director Michael Dougherty, Bryan Singer, Dylan Baker, Brian Cox, & Jean-Luc Bilodeau. It starts off a bit awkwardly but stick with it. Brian Cox really loosens it up.

What’s interesting about the announcement is that I believe it was supposed to be a surprise to Michael and he didn’t know about it. Sadly, to poor “acting” on Legendary Tom Tull’s part, I think Michael didn’t really grasp what was happening. I could be misinterpreting it but watch the video again. Bryan Singer seems to be in on knowing about the sequel. Doughtery seems to be in disbelief and is hesitant to be excited because he wasn’t “officially” told. I’m proud of Doughtery and I hope filming starts soon. Maybe, soon enough for the sequel to show at Fantastic Fest X. Thanks to Legendary for making not only the sequel happen but for livestreaming the film and the Q&A.

Also, don’t forget Odd City Entertainment is releasing a poster made for the event online today (time unknown). I have included that below.
