“A friend of mine called me and said he had the rights to do more Strangers movies, and he asked if I wanted to remake ,” explained Solomon. But their dreams of happiness are derailed when they are terrorized by criminals in incredibly creepy masks while vacationing at an Airbnb. The Strangers: Chapter 1 stars Madelaine Petsch (Riverdale) and Froy Gutierrez (Teen Wolf, Cruel Summer) as a couple in the midst of a cross-country journey to start a new life in the Pacific Northwest. The duo were much more tight-lipped, however, about spilling any plot details about the second and third films. They also showed three exclusive clips from Chapter 1 and even brought along the masks the actors portraying the Strangers wore during production.Īs for the release schedule of the trilogy, they confirmed during an audience Q&A at the end of the panel that all three movies have been shot and the plan is to release all of them in 2024, if Lionsgate agrees to the condensed release schedule (a release date for Chapter 1 has not yet been announced). It’s a trilogy of movies that are an extension of the franchise, as director Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Street, Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, Deep Blue Sea) and producer Courtney Solomon explained to fans in attendance.
While the films are based on the 2008 home invasion thriller which starred Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman, it’s not a remake or reboot.
