Black Phone 2 Trailer Drops; Scott Derrickson Teases Horror Movie

This is the message of the trailer for Universal Pictures and Bloomhouse Black phone 2announced on Sunday at CCXP Mexico that a popular culture conference was held in Mexico City over the weekend.

The film is a sequel to the 2022 "Surprise" record, with a budget of $161 million. The film is based on a short story by Stephen King's son, Joe Hill, and introduces the audience to a masked serial killer who kidnapped children and locked them in a basement. But one such child discovers an unplugged but ghostly spinning phone that connects him to the ghost of a boy who was previously stolen. This is a possible way out.

The movie is over (spoiler alarm!), the gripper is dead, so is he back? The trailer seductively shows the shocking telephone conversation between our heroes, played by the return Mason Thames, and the robber again played by Ethan Hawke tells the latter, who tells the teenagers, “you all of you should know that death is just a word.” The trailer then unleashes a series of horror images.

Director and co-author Scott Derrickson and Hollywood Reporter Before the trailer was revealed, the person about the return was held tightly. In fact, he was nervous about a lot of things.

"The first movie was a ghost movie, but all ghosts are victims, and that's a typical ghost story," he said. "But in this, you have a ghost, and that's a villain."

In the first film, Derrickson enters his Denver childhood, where bullying and violence are common. To this end, he draws on his high school experience going to the Rockies Winter Camp. The weather, environment and the severity of the surrounding Rocky Mountains contributed to the tone of the new film.

However, the difference between middle school and high school years is the huge change in tone.

"A high school adult horror movie is different from a high school horror movie," Derickson said. "So, there is a ratchet of intensity."

Derekson doesn't necessarily plan a sequel Black phone But said Hill wrote to him for a month or two after the movie came up with some ideas. The fact that was set in high school proved this attractive, especially when he determined the time in his mind.

"I thought if I had made another movie first and now I didn't do the sequel like you should have done, then by the end of this, these kids would have gone to high school," he said. The movie he was shooting was a lot of monsters Apple TV+ movie titled canyon With Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller. “I can go back to these roles at different stages of their lives.”

therefore, Black phone 2 More like a horror movie than the first one, he thought it was a supernatural thriller.

"Of course, it's more violent, more terrifying, more graphic," he said. "Part of that is because of the age of the child."
