Jessica Rothe says Happy Death Day 3 is “just a matter of when”

Happy Death Day (watch it HERE) and Happy Death Day 2U (watch that one HERE) director Christopher Landon let it be known as soon as Happy Death Day 2U was released that he had plans for a Happy Death Day 3 (which would be called Happy Death Day to Us). But while Happy Death Day had earned a sequel by making over $125 million at the global box office on a budget that was just under $5 million, the third film hasn’t happened because Happy Death Day 2U only made $64 million. That’s pretty good for a movie that cost $9 million… but distributor Universal Pictures was apparently hesitant to make a follow-up to movie that made so much less than its predecessor. That’s why seven years have gone by without the third film going into production… but franchise star Jessica Rothe assures that “if” we’ll ever get a Happy Death Day 3 isn’t a question, it’s “just a matter of when.”

Refresher

Here’s a reminder of what happened in the previous two movies: In Happy Death Day, Teresa “Tree” Gelbman’s birthday is the worst day of her life, starting when she wakes up in a stranger’s bed. It’s also the last day of her life, ending when she’s killed by a psychotic killer with a knife. She’s dead. And then she wakes up in a stranger’s bed, it’s September 18, and she has to live it all over again . . . until she’s hunted down and wakes up, again, and again. It’s a Groundhog Day situation, only with murder, guns, and mean girls, and Tree’s only shot at living to see the next day is to relive the day of her murder, over and over, until she discovers her killer’s identity. 

Happy Death Day 2U picks up the story without missing a beat. Tree Gelbman thought she’d finally lived to see a brand-new day. But when she wakes up on her same birthday and an all-new psychopath in a mask is out to kill her and her friends, she’s going to find out that all the rules have changed. Death makes a killer comeback.

Landon has said that there was talk about turning Happy Death Day 3 into a three-part Peacock streaming event “years ago,” but that idea didn’t go anywhere. There have also been musings about a crossover between characters from Happy Death Day and another Landon slasher, Freaky. But Landon said that was just a fun thought that had been thrown around and there is no treatment in mind for a crossover. 

Happy Death Day 3  / Happy Death Day to Us is the movie he really wants to make. A year ago, Landon and Rothe both said the sequel was “moving forward,” but we haven’t heard anything more about it since then.

Update

Rothe was asked for an update on the sequel’s status during an interview with Screen Rant and said, “I think, at this point, it’s just logistics. All I’ll say to you and to all the fans is, whether it’s next year or when I’m 65, pulling a Jamie Lee Curtis coming back for Halloween, I will be there to finish Tree’s story. So it’s just a matter of when they get all their ducks in a row.

Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man is coming to theatres in August

Sixteen years passed from the time Eli Roth made a slasher faux trailer called Thanksgiving for the Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino double feature Grindhouse to the day when a feature version of Thanksgiving (read our review HERE) finally made its way into theatres – and soon after that movie was released in 2023, it was announced that a sequel would be coming along in 2025. Thanksgiving 2 was supposed to start filming last March… but that didn’t happen. Filming had to be delayed (hopefully not cancelled completely). And rather than mope about not being able to make that sequel this year, Roth shot a different horror movie called Ice Cream Man last summer! Filming wrapped in September, and now a press release has revealed that the film will have a theatrical run in North America on over 2000 screens, courtesy of Iconic Events Releasing. The release date: August 7th.

Synopsis and Cast

Media Capital Technologies (MCT) and The Horror Section are fully financing Ice Cream Man, which follows an idyllic summer town descending into madness when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results. Plot details are being kept under wraps. Roth directed the film from a screenplay he wrote with Noah Belson, based on “an original idea he has had for over twenty years, but studios were too nervous to finance.”

Ari Millen (Orphan Black) stars as the titular character and is joined in the cast by Benjamin Byron Davis (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Karen Cliche (Thanksgiving), Dylan Hawco (Heartland), Sarah Abbott (Black Mirror), Shiloh O’Reilly (Thanksgiving), Kiori Mirza Waldman (Small Achievable Goals), Charlie Zeltzer (The Handmaid’s Tale), and Charlie Storey (Thanksgiving). Roth is also in the cast.

Mass Appeal

Media Capital Technologies’ Christopher Woodrow and Raj Singh are producing alongside Cream Productions’ Kate Harrison. Executive producers include MCT’s Kevin Frakes, Connor DiGregorio, Eli Massillon, and Lorenzo Antonucci, and The Horror Section’s Jon Schnaars and Holly Adams. The score is being composed by Brandon Roberts, with additional music by Snoop Dogg. Steve Newburn and Adrien Morot handle the special effects.

Just yesterday, it was announced that The Horror Section and Mass Appeal, the entertainment company founded by rapper Nas, have entered into a strategic partnership. “Through the partnership, which includes an investment from Mass Appeal into The Horror Section, the two entities will collaborate across many aspects of the business, including having Roth and Nas co-develop film and television projects.” As the first step in this alliance, Nas and Mass Appeal CEO Peter Bittenbender have become executive producers on Ice Cream Man.

Roth had this to say about the team-up: “Nas is one of the most influential storytellers and cultural voices of all time and we bonded instantly over our mutual love of horror. We are thrilled to partner with Mass Appeal with its unmatched pulse on culture and what truly resonates. I look forward to collaborating with Nas, Peter, and the entire Mass Appeal team, starting with bringing Ice Cream Man to theaters worldwide and creating cultural events in the horror space for audiences everywhere.

Nas added, “I’m proud to come together and partner with Eli to bring these films to life and push the boundaries of what horror can be, both culturally and creatively. Eli and I shared the same vision from the beginning and partnering with him and The Horror Section feels natural. I’m excited to take the genre in an exciting new direction, and Ice Cream Man is just the beginning.

The August 7th release date puts Ice Cream Man in direct competition with the Universal comedy One Night Only, Searchlight’s Super Troopers 3, and the Lionsgate Premiere survival thriller Fall 2.

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve search mysterious spaces in the Backrooms trailer

Three years ago, it was announced that some of today’s biggest genre companies – A24, James Wan‘s Atomic Monster, the Stranger Things makers at 21 Laps, and Planet of the Apes producers Chernin Entertainment – are joining forces on a new project called Backrooms, which marks the feature directorial debut of VFX artist Kane Parsons, who is now 20 years old. We’ve been waiting for this one a while, but the wait will come to an end soon, as Backrooms is aiming for a May 29 theatrical release. Today, a trailer for the film has dropped online and can be viewed in the embed above.

Cast

Backrooms went into production around nine months ago with Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) and Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World) heading up the cast. They’re joined by  Mark Duplass (Creep), Finn Bennett (True Detective), Lukita Maxwell (Shrinking), and Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap).

A24 and Chernin Entertainment are co-financing Backrooms. Patino is producing the film alongside Shawn Levy and Dan Levine of 21 Laps and James Wan and Michael Clear of Atomic Monster. Alayna Glasthal is overseeing the project for Atomic Monster, while the company’s Judson Scott executive produces.

Story

Backrooms is based on a series of viral videos Parsons released through his YouTube channel Kane Pixels. If you were to splice those videos together they would reach feature length, but the feature version of Backrooms is going to be something entirely new. The screenplay for the feature has been written by Roberto Patino (DMZ).

Deadline previously noted that details as to the plot of the sci-fi horror feature are under wraps. But in the original short, a young filmmaker’s fall into another dimension leaves him wandering through an unsettlingly yellow, empty and labyrinthine office space, which may or may not be home to otherworldly beings. The film’s title and setting draw inspiration from the imagery of a creepypasta (or internet urban legend) published to the website 4chan in 2019. An interview with Parsons on ABC provided the information that his series tells the story of a shadowy organization, called ASYNC, which in the late 1980s opens a portal connecting the real world to The Backrooms.

Gina Gershon turned down a topless victim role in Friday the 13th Part 2

2025 marked the 45th anniversary of one of my all-time favorite films: the slasher movie Friday the 13th. This year also marks the 45th anniversary of one one of my all-time favorite films: Friday the 13th Part 2, the first of several sequels in that franchise. That movie reached theatres on May 1, 1981 – and coincidentally, with that date quickly approaching, actress Gina Gershon has shared a memory of her brush with the production, revealing that she turned down a role in Friday the 13th Part 2 because she felt it was exploitative.

AlphaPussy

This revelation comes from the pages of Gershon’s recently published memoir, AlphaPussy: How I Survived the Valley and Learned to Love My Boobs (you can pick up a copy HERE). Our friends at Bloody Disgusting report that Gershon wrote, “At the time, those kinds of slasher movies always had girls dying with their breasts exposed. My character would be killed by a stake through the heart, blood dripping down her tits. That seemed pretty lame to me: exploitation 101.

She had more to say in an interview with Fox News Digital: “I was offered a lead in (Friday the 13th Part 2). And, of course, I was so excited to act in movies, but it definitely felt kind of exploitative to me and a little silly that right before she gets killed, her top has to come off. … I was really lucky that I had a father who really taught me how to believe in my own decisions. It wasn’t like I had to rebel against my family. I remember asking him about it, thinking he was going to say, ‘No daughter of mine is going to do that!’ And he said, ‘It’s your body. If you’re comfortable with it, I’m comfortable with it.’ When I sat and thought about it, I just thought, ‘I don’t really want to do this.’ I wasn’t comfortable with it. It seemed silly to me. Not that I had anything against nudity — I grew up on European films — but only if it makes sense for the character and the story. But when it just seems silly, I don’t know. It just felt like it was something that wasn’t for me.

Cast and Synopsis

Directed by Steve Miner from a screenplay by Ron Kurz, Friday the 13th Part 2 has the following synopsis (taken from the back of the VHS box): Just when you thought it was safe to go back to camp… here’s even more heart-pounding terror. Five years after the horrible bloodbath at Camp Crystal Lake, all that remains is the legend of Jason Voorhees and his demented mother, who had murdered seven camp counselors. At a nearby summer camp, the new counselors are unconcerned about the warnings to stay away from the infamous site. Carefree, the young people roam the area, not sensing the ominous lurking presence. One by one, they are attacked and brutally slaughtered. Suspense and screams abound in this compelling chiller.

The film stars Amy Steel, John Furey, Stu Charno, Lauren-Marie Taylor, Marta Kober, Tom McBride, Bill Randolph, Kirsten Baker, Russell Todd, Walt Gorney, Jack Marks, Cliff Cudney, Adrienne King, Warrington Gillette, and Steve Dash, with a cameo by Betsy Palmer.

Which Victim?

Ironically, if Gina Gershon had accepted a role in Friday the 13th Part 2, she wouldn’t have had to act out this exploitative scene of getting a stake through the heart and having blood “dripping down her tits,” because no such scene exists in the film. Kirsten Baker did have a skinny-dipping scene and Marta Kober’s character is impaled with a spear while having sex with Bill Randolph’s character, but there is no “blood on tits” shot.

Maybe the Marta Kober scene would have been more exploitative if Gina Gershon had been in the role, since Gershon was 18 at the time of production but Kober only turned 17 in the middle of filming… but the MPAA was rough on Friday the 13th Part 2, so even if a shot of bloody breasts had been filmed, chances are that it wouldn’t have made it into the finished film anyway.

Regardless, Gina Gershon did well without appearing in Friday the 13th Part 2, even if it took her until 1986 to play a character who received a name in the credits. (She was a dancer in 1981’s Beatlemania, “Woman” in a 1984 Cars video, a dancer again in 1985’s Girls Just Want to Have Fun, a “girl friend” in Pretty in Pink, and one of the Cobrettes in 1986’s 3:15, The Moment of Truth, but she was Alison Cromwell in the 1986 TV movie Stark: Mirror Image). Over the decades, she has racked up more than 160 screen credits, including Red Heat, Cocktail, Out for Justice, The Player, Best of the Best 3, Showgirls, Bound, Face/Off, Driven, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Rescue Me, Cleaners, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Red Oaks, Blockers, The Little Mermaid, Chucky, Borderlands, Thanksgiving, and a whole lot more.

December 2027 release date announced for The Housemaid sequel The Housemaid’s Secret

Sydney Sweeney (Anyone But YouMadame Web) enjoyed the biggest box office success of her career when the “sexy” psychological thriller The Housemaid racked up almost $400 million worldwide in recent months. It’s no surprise that Lionsgate is moving forward with a sequel, with Sweeney returning for The Housemaid’s Secret – and today, the studio has announced that the film will be receiving a wide theatrical release on December 17, 2027! The first movie was released on December 19, 2025, so they’re sticking with what worked the first time around.

Creative Team

The Housemaid director Paul Feig returns to the helm for The Housemaid’s Secret. The sequel also has the same line-up of producers: Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures; Feig, who produces through his Pretty Dangerous Pictures with his partner Laura Fischer; and Sweeney, through her Fifty-Fifty Films banner.

Screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine returns to write The Housemaid’s Secret. Carly Elter, who oversaw the first movie for Hidden Pictures, is returning as executive producer.

Alex Young of Hidden Pictures will also executive produce. Fifty Fifty’s Kaylee McGregor will co-produce. Chelsea Kujawa and Maria Ascanio are overseeing the project for Lionsgate.

The Housemaid

Based on the novel by Freida McFadden, the first film has the following synopsis: In The Housemaid, Millie (Sydney Sweeney) is a struggling young woman who is relieved to get a fresh start as a housemaid to Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew (Brandon Sklenar), an upscale, wealthy couple. She soon learns that the family’s secrets are far more dangerous than her own.

This one always had franchise potential, as McFadden has written multiple follow-ups to her novel: The Housemaid’s Secret, The Housemaid’s Wedding, and The Housemaid is Watching.

The Housemaid’s Secret

In the sequel, Millie (Sweeney) returns, taking a job keeping house for a woman she’s never allowed to see — only to discover the truth behind the locked door that threatens to expose secrets far darker than her own.

Joining Sweeney in the cast of the sequel are Kirsten Dunst (Roofman, Spider-Man) and Michele Morrone (365 Days, Subservience), reprising his role from the first film.

The Housemaid’s Secret will go into production later this year. Are you looking forward to watching the movie in December 2027? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

Talamasca: The Secret Order – AMC cancels Anne Rice series after one season

A couple of years ago, we heard that AMC was developing a third TV series based on the works of Anne Rice, adding to the franchise they’ve been building out of the Vampire Chronicles novels and the Mayfair Witch books written by Rice. Called Talamasca: The Secret Order, the show premiered on AMC last October, with its six-episode first season playing out through November. Now, AMC has confirmed that the first season will be the only season. Talamasca: The Secret Order has been cancelled.

Cast and Synopsis

This entry in the franchise that AMC is calling the Anne Rice Immortal Universe followed a secretive society called the Talamasca that’s responsible for tracking and containing witches, vampires, werewolves and other creatures. Members of the Talamasca had already been introduced in the AMC shows Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire and Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches.

The cast includes Nicholas Denton of Glitch and Dangerous Liasions, Elizabeth McGovern of Downton Abbey and She’s Having a Baby, Maisie Richardson-Sellers of The Originals and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, William Fichtner of Heat and The Dark Knight, Céline Buckens of War Horse and Free Rein, and Jason Schwartzman of Rushmore and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, with Eric Bogosian making a guest appearance as his Interview with the Vampire character Daniel Molloy.

Denton’s character Guy Anatole was “brilliant, handsome and sharp on the surface, but he’s always known his mind works a little differently. On the cusp of graduating law school, he is approached by a representative of the Talamasca, a secretive agency that monitors and protects us from the supernatural world. When Guy learns that the Talamasca has been tracking him since his childhood, he falls headlong into a world of secret agents and immortal beings who, up to now, have maintained a fragile balance with the mortal world. But for that balance to hold, and for Guy to survive, he will have to learn to embrace the dark, treacherous depths of his true and singular self.

Fichtner played Jasper, “a mysterious American who has quietly assumed control and influence over the Talamasca’s London Motherhouse. Though his motives and methods are cloaked in shadow, his charm and righteous sense of purpose are as dangerous as the power he’s pursuing.” McGovern’s character is Helen, “a seasoned veteran of the Talamasca, and the leader of its New York Motherhouse. She has long suspected that London’s Motherhouse has fallen under the influence of traitorous elements, and a mysterious death prompts her to recruit Guy Anatole (Denton), who will become her protégé.“ Richardson-Sellers played Olive, “a beguiling and ambitious agent of the Talamasca, assigned to be Guy Anatole’s (Denton) American handler. She is deft with information and a master of disguises in the old tradition of spy craft.” Buckens’ character is Doris, “an old soul who lives with a coven of witches on a houseboat.” Schwartzman is Burton, “a rakish vampire leading a cloistered life in a luxurious Upper West Side penthouse.

John Lee Hancock, whose credits include The Blind Side and the Stephen King adaptation Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, wrote the Talamasca series and served as showrunner alongside Mark Lafferty of The Right Stuff and Halt and Catch Fire. Hancock directed the first episode. All of AMC’s Anne Rice projects are produced by AMC Studios and executive produced by Mark Johnson.

Cancelled

Variety broke the news about the cancellation. An AMC spokesperson told them, “While we are not proceeding with another season of Talamasca: The Secret Order, we are proud of the series and grateful for the efforts of everyone involved. The Talamasca has a storied place within the Anne Rice Immortal Universe, and we expect to see at least some of these characters, and the organization itself, in future expressions of the franchise.

Interview with the Vampire, now called The Vampire Lestat, is returning for a third season on June 7, while Mayfair Witches will be back with its third season in early 2027.

The Messy Making of Texas Chainsaw 3D Explained

Mike

Get your popcorn, a Coke, and a blanket, cuz. It’s time to dive deep into the sordid tale behind one of the wackiest entries in one of the wackiest horror franchises known to man. Today’s film features a fantastic-sounding Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel trilogy that never was, a producer allegedly claiming a writer’s work as his own, and some of the best ideas you’ve ever heard turned into some of the worst. It’s time to take a 3D look at all the questionable ingredients in this hot pile of Sawyer family chili. This is what happened to Texas Chainsaw 3D.

The Rights Shuffle and a Lost Trilogy

After two innovative forays into the franchise with the 2003 remake and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Platinum Dunes and New Line Cinema parted ways, letting the rights revert to original creators Kim Henkel and Tobe Hooper. Seeing an opportunity, Twisted Pictures, led by Mark Burg and Oren Koules, partnered with Lionsgate around 2009 to secure a multi-year deal.

The plan? A bold, low-budget, high-return trilogy model similar to Saw.

The Original Vision (That Never Happened)

Writer Steven Susco (The Grudge) crafted a story picking up immediately after the original 1974 film, continuing from Sally Hardesty’s escape. The trilogy was envisioned as:

  • A direct continuation
  • Shot on 16mm
  • Possibly directed by James Wan

But Lionsgate had other ideas.

They pushed for:

  • A PG-13 rating
  • A modern setting
  • 3D presentation

The final film? Somewhere in between: modern, 3D, and R-rated. The original plan was dead and the chaos was just beginning.

The “Shady Producer” Situation

Writers Adam Marcus and Debra Sullivan were approached by a producer they later described as “shady.” They pitched a concept, coincidentally similar to Susco’s: picking up right after the original film and transitioning into the present with 3D elements. According to them:

  • Their two-page outline was taken and presented as someone else’s idea
  • Lionsgate then shopped it to 17 writers
  • Including Marcus and Sullivan themselves

Instead of backing out, they:

  • Expanded it into a 15-page treatment
  • Wrote the opening act

They got the job and ended up working with the same producer.

Texas Chainsaw 3D

A Slick Director for a Gritty Franchise

With a script in place, Lionsgate and producer Carl Mazzocone hired director John Luessenhop. Fresh off Takers, Luessenhop brought a sleek, stylized look. For a… Texas Chainsaw Massacre film.

Casting Leatherface and the “Cool Kids”

Leatherface was played by Dan Yeager, a non-actor discovered through construction work connections. He was essentially cast on the spot.

The supporting cast leaned heavily modern:

  • Alexandra Daddario as Heather Miller
  • Trey Songz as Ryan
  • Scott Eastwood as Deputy Hartman
  • Tania Raymonde as Nikki
  • Shaun Sipos as the hitchhiker

Yes, the timeline makes absolutely no sense. Heather is kidnapped in 1973 and somehow ends up in her twenties in 2012. Don’t worry about it. Just eat your popcorn.

Legacy Cast Returns

To its credit, the production brought back several original cast members:

  • Gunnar Hansen as Boss Sawyer
  • Marilyn Burns as Verna Carson
  • Bill Moseley as The Cook
  • John Dugan as Grandpa Sawyer

Hansen returned partly because he liked the direct-sequel concept and because he was finally paid what he felt he deserved.

What the Script Was Supposed to Be

According to Marcus and Sullivan (and corroborated by a journalist), the original script had:

  • More likable, layered characters
  • Stronger relationships
  • Significantly more gore
  • Creative 3D kills
  • Leatherface battling townspeople
  • A chase through a herd of cattle
  • A ’90s setting

Instead, many sequences were replaced with:

  • Modern gimmicks
  • Smartphone scenes
  • Simplified character writing
Texas Chainsaw 3D

Budget Cuts and Production Chaos

The reported $20 million budget? Supposedly slashed to $8 million when Lionsgate only covered distribution. Filming began in 2011 in Louisiana under brutal conditions:

  • 100+ degree heat
  • Tight schedule
  • Complex 3D rigs

At one point, Adam Marcus had to step in as a stereographer. The crew worked around the clock. Writers stayed on set for 20-hour stretches rewriting scenes on the fly. Just another Texas Chainsaw production nightmare.

Gore, Ratings, and Practical Effects

The legendary KNB EFX Group, led by Greg Nicotero, handled the effects. The original cut earned an NC-17 rating. To secure an R-rating:

  • Several death scenes were trimmed
  • A more graphic version was later released unrated

One standout moment? Leatherface stitching a face onto his own. Owie.

Recreating the Original and Burning It Down

The opening sequence:

  • Recreated the original house
  • Blended 1974 footage with new 3D material
  • Used miniatures and CGI to burn it down

It’s an impressive effort, regardless of what follows.

The Haunted Mansion Story

A key location, the Carson Mansion in Louisiana, reportedly came with a ghost story. According to Alexandra Daddario:

  • A crew member claimed to see a ghost
  • Refused to enter the room
  • Later learned the owner’s wife had died there

Make of that what you will.

Texas Chainsaw 3D

The 3D Problem

The production used dual RED Epic cameras, which were cutting-edge at the time (also used on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Amazing Spider-Man). But:

  • Constant calibration slowed everything down
  • Filming fell behind
  • Crews worked in rotating 24-hour shifts

Release and Box Office

Texas Chainsaw 3D hit theaters in January 2013. Results:

  • #1 opening weekend
  • $21M domestic opening
  • $47M worldwide

Not bad for a troubled January horror release.

Critical Reception

Critics were far less kind. Common complaints:

  • Timeline inconsistencies
  • Weak characters
  • Plot holes
  • Questionable creative choices

Some even called it embarrassing to the franchise.

Texas Chainsaw 3D

The Franchise Lives On

Despite the backlash, the film kept the series alive, leading to Leatherface (2017). And somehow… that makes this one look better in hindsight.

The Good Stuff (Yes, There Is Some)

For all its flaws, the film does have highlights:

  • A carnival attack sequence
  • A Ferris wheel chase
  • An overturned vehicle assault
  • Some genuinely gnarly kills

And hey, we got a full 3D entry in the franchise. It might not be what anyone asked for, but it is exactly what happened to Texas Chainsaw 3D.
