Radio Silence will be reuniting with Kathryn Newton for the upcoming sequel to Ready Or Not, Ready Or Not 2. More right here.
Kathryn Newton will once again be teaming up with filmmaking collective Radio Silence, this time on their horror sequel Ready Or Not 2. The Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania actor previously collaborated with the directing duo on last year’s Universal horror movie Abigail. Collectively known as Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, Radio Silence announced the sequel last October.
The original Ready Or Not writers are also back: Guy Busick and R Christopher Murphy will provide the film’s screenplay while Samara Weaving – the original film’s star – is also returning.
Plot details are under wraps at the moment, so we have no idea who Newton will play or how the action will be connected to the events of the first film. We’re hoping that the same stripped-back...

Back in October, we shared the very exciting if ever so slightly head-frazzling news that Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin's 2019 horror-comedy Ready Or Not has a sequel in the works at Searchlight Pictures, with star Samara Weaving set to return as shotgun-toting final girl Grace. Since then, it's been pretty much radio silence from the Radio Silence boys as they tinker away at their latest chiller — until now. Per Deadline's reporting, the horror movie maestros are set to reteam with Abigail star Kathryn Newton on Ready Or Not 2.
Much like the plot for Gillett and Bettinelli-Olpin's sequel, Newton's role in the movie is currently being kept hush-hush.

Kathryn Newton is shining her scream queen crown as we speak, preparing to join Samara Weaving in the upcoming Ready or Not sequel!
Deadline reports that the actress is set to re-team with Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who directed Newton previously in last year's vampire horror film Abigail. Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett also directed Ready or Not and other popular recent horror movies like Scream 5 and Scream 6.
Released in 2019, the first Ready or Not was an absolute blast of a movie. It did very well at the box office, grossing over $57.6 million on a $6 million budget and it was heavily praised by critics and audiences alike. Ready or Not helped catapult Weaving into the realm of modern-day scream queens and she's appeared in several since (including getting the coveted opening kill in Scream 6). Next she'll star in the comedy thriller Borderline with Ray Nicholson.

One of the better horror comedies of the past few years, Ready or Not was a hit with audiences when it released in theaters in 2019. Fans have anxiously anticipated updates on a Ready or Not 2 for several years, but the project was a slow-moving process despite the original's success. Made with a $6 million budget, it grossed $58 million worldwide, a major win for the relatively small production, so it's not a shocker that a sequel was eventually greenlit. However, the time has finally come for some progress, and another rising horror star has been added to the mix to lead the new Ready or Not alongside Samara Weaving.
Deadline reports that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star Kathryn Newton has joined the cast of the Ready or Not sequel, which will once again feature Weaving in the lead role. No stranger to the genre, Newton reunites with Radio Silence after previously starring in 2024's Abigail.

Six years ago, genre regular Samara Weaving starred in a very cool horror comedy called Ready or Not, which was directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who went on to make the two most recent Scream sequels and the “Dracula’s daughter” movie Abigail. Last year, it was announced that a sequel is now moving forward – and while Escape Room director Adam Robitel was attached to take the helm of Ready or Not 2 when it was first announced, Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett have since stepped up to direct the sequel, which they have promised will be “an absolute banger.” Wearing is returning for the follow-up, and Deadline has broken the news that she’s being joined in the cast by Kathryn Newton, who previously worked with the directors on Abigail.

If you grew up a fan of the paranormal in the '90s, then you’ll easily recognize the name Art Bell. The iconic radio host of Coast to Coast Am talked long into the night with his guests, discussing everything from ghosts and aliens, to time travel and Bigfoot. Now, Academy Award-nominee Paul Giamatti is set to portray the late Bell in a new biopic from Ready or Not and Abigail directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.
Per Deadline, the untitled project with Giamatti in the lead is now in the works, with studios like Amazon and Warner Bros. vying for the pitch. The script is being written by Sam Chalsen (TV's Sleepy Hollow) and Nelson Greaves (Unfriended), with Sophie Cassidy's 2.0 Entertainment producing along with Jeff Katz, the latter of whom is an accomplished talk radio host in his own right, and a big fan of Bell.

The bride is back. The acclaimed wedding night horror-comedy “Ready or Not” is coming back for a sequel with lead actress Samara Weaving, who is no stranger to the genre cast in Netflix’s “The Babysitter” and the 2022 “Scream” film, among many others.
Production company Radio Silence is returning with the fan-favorite film centered around a children’s game turned deadly, along with Searchlight Pictures, who will distribute the horror movie. The film collective, also known for films like “Scream VI,” comprised of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, Justin Martinez, and Chad Villella.
The first movie, released in 2019, was written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy and directed by Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett. It follows a young bride who discovers at her wedding reception that her in-laws have a peculiar game-night ritual that turns into a predator-prey, murder-spree version of Hide and Seek—all because of a deal her in-laws made with the devil.

Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home is expected to cede its No. 1 four-weekend run to Paramount and Spyglass Media’s Scream over the MLK four-day holiday, the latter eyeing a take that’s in the $20 million-plus range at 3,661 theaters.
There’s a shot that Scream goes higher, but we’ll leave any lofty predictions in this funky pandemic, Spider-Man-dominated marketplace to what 18th century economist Adam Smith called “the invisible hand”. By previous measurements, the best opening for a pure horror movie over the MLK holiday belongs to Universal’s Andy Muschietti directed title Mama which collected $32.1M back in 2013 (I would argue that M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass with a $46.5M start in 2019 was more of a thriller).
In the transition from Paramount studio boss Jim Gianopulos to Brian Robbins, there’s been a lot of chatter out there how the Melrose lot looks to embrace a more...
