Released in 2019, Alexandre Aja‘s Crawl put Kaya Scodelario up against a category 5 hurricane and a pack of hungry alligators, and the thrilling mix of action and suspense-horror proved to be a hit with audiences at the box office. On a $13 million production budget, Crawl scared up over $91 million worldwide, with sequel talks beginning almost immediately.
What’s the latest on Crawl 2, you might be wondering? THR reports today that Paramount Pictures is “deep in development” on the sequel, with Aja returning to direct! Andrew Deutschman and Jason Pagan (Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension) are writing.
The Hollywood Reporter notes, “Crawl 2 will feature a new cast and a new location, in this case the more urban dangers of New York City, according to sources.”
Producers for Crawl 2 will include Aja and Sam Raimi.
In Crawl, produced by Sam Raimi, “When a massive hurricane hits her Florida hometown, Haley (Kaya Scodelario) ignores evacuation orders to search for her missing father (Barry Pepper). Finding him gravely injured in the crawl space of their family home, the two become trapped by quickly encroaching floodwaters. As time runs out to escape the strengthening storm, Haley and her father discover that the rising water level is the least of their fears.”
Alexandre Aja has established himself as a master of horror since debuting on the scene with High Tension, subsequently directing The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D, and Crawl.
