A24 has released another successful horror entry into their growing catalog with the Australian horror film Talk To Me. And to the delight of the film’s fans, they have learned that the directors already put in the can an entire Talk to Me prequel. Yes, your heard that right. The prequel has already been shot.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Phillipou brothers revealed they’ve already made a prequel that is based on the vents of Talk to Me’s opening scenes. It centers on Duckett, a previous victim of the sinister hand at the center of the story. It’s likely only a short at this point, however.
Danny told The Hollywood Reporter, ”We actually shot an entire Duckett prequel already. It’s told entirely through the perspective of mobile phones and social media, so maybe down the line, we can release that.”
The brothers also reiterated they’re keen on making a sequel, with Danny adding, ”But also while writing the first film, you can’t help but write scenes for a second film. So there’s so many scenes. The mythology was so thick, and if A24 gave us the opportunity, we wouldn’t be able to resist. I feel like we’d jump at it.”
Talk to Me sees a group of teenagers using an embalmed hand to summon spirits that possess them. They treat the possession like a drug high, but it ends up inviting terrible forces.
Talk to Me is in theaters now.
