Filming for Blumhouse‘s The Black Phone 2 has officially begun, confirmed by director Scott Derrickson.
On X, Derrickson shared a first look from the set, writing, “Black Phone 2 began shooting today.” Check out the official logo below.
Derrickson has already teased The Black Phone 2. While the first film was a middle school coming-of-age story, the sequel will shift to a high school setting and aims to be the “launch of a sinister new franchise.”
Directed by Derrickson, The Black Phone 2 features a screenplay co-written with C. Robert Cargill. The film stars Mason Thames as Finney Blake, Madeleine McGraw as Gwendolyn “Gwen” Blake, Ethan Hawke as The Grabber/Albert Shaw, Jeremy Davies as Terrence Blake, Miguel Cazarez Mora as Robin Arellano, and Rebecca Clarke as Donna. The plot details are kept under wraps.
Produced by Jason Blum, Ryan Turek, Cargill, and Derrickson.
During NYCC, Jason Blum announced that Blumhouse has 10 movies coming out next year, including Wolf Man, The Woman in the Yard, Drop, The Black Phone 2, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, Megan 2.0, The Monkey, Mortal Kombat 2, and The Conjuring 4.
