Radio Silence – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Thu, 18 Apr 2024 10:04:32 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Radio Silence – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 ‘It’s an Absolute F*cking Banger’: Ready or Not Sequel in the Works https://www.geekfeed.com/horro-movie-ready-or-not-sequel-in-the-works/ Thu, 18 Apr 2024 07:33:39 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=82047 Directing duo Radio Silence (Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin) are currently gearing up for the release of their loli vampire movie Abigail, but it looks like they already have their next project in development.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the new horror auteurs are ready to come back to one of their original horror properties—2019’s Ready or Not starring Samara Weaving.

We don’t have a n official story breakdown yet, but they do say that the story they have for the sequel is ‘an absolute f—ing banger.’ Gillett says:

“It’s getting figured out… That’s what we’ll say: Ready or Not 2 is getting figured out. What we can say is that there is a script that is an absolute f—ing banger of a sequel. And however it gets made, and in whatever capacity we are helping get it made, we are so excited that it’s happening. That movie is truly the love of our creative lives in a lot of ways.”

If you haven’t checked out Ready or Not, the movie is essentially a horror spin on the game Hide and Seek, and Samara Weaving gets married into a weird rich family which has a sick tradition of playing Hide and Seek where she hides and everyone else in the house tries to find her and literally kill her.

There’s also a “deal with the devil” element to the movie, and it’s possible that this could be the angle that Radio Silence wants to take the sequel (Kids’ game horror cinematic universe?). Of course, they could just bring back Weaving and title the sequel Ready or Not: Here I Come.

If anything, the first movie was a pretty solid standalone, but if Radio Silence feels very passionately about the project, I’m willing to see what they’ve got. In the meantime, you should check out Abigail which comes to theaters April 19.

A Loli Vampire is Loose in New Trailer for Abigail https://www.geekfeed.com/loli-vampire-is-loose-in-new-trailer-for-abigail/ Fri, 12 Apr 2024 11:04:27 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=81856 M3GAN had given audiences a new kind of movie monster in the form of a tiny robot girl, and now they’re taking that image and turning it into an unkillable vampire in the upcoming film Abigail.

The movie is set to come out next week, and we have a new trailer showcasing Universal’s upcoming mini-monster. Check this out:

Children can be such monsters.

After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.

It’s worth noting that the movie is being directed by Radio Silence—a team of two directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet—the same people behind Ready or Not and the last two Scream films. The film also has a star-studded cast which includes the likes of Melissa Barrera, Kathryn Newton, Dan Stevens, and the late Euphoria star Angus Cloud.

Not to mention the titular Abigail is also played by Alisha Weir, who was the star of Netflix’s recent musical Matilda reboot.

If you’ve seen Ready or Not or any of the last scream films, you’ll know that Radio Silence has a penchant for bringing together horror and comedy. While we should expect some actual frights, you can get caught off-guard whenever somebody says something hilarious. Abigail should be no exception to their signature style.

Abigail is set to hit theatres on April 19.

Abigail Trailer: Move Over M3GAN, A New Tiny Movie Monster is Here https://www.geekfeed.com/abigail-trailer-a-new-tiny-movie-monster-is-here/ Tue, 16 Jan 2024 15:33:47 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=80590 Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) is the directing team behind Ready or Not and the last two Scream films, and they have one new horror movie that puts a twist on the classic genre.

Check out the trailer for Abigail starring Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, William Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Clous, and Alisha Weir:

The official description of the story reads:

Children can be such monsters.

After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.

If you’ve watched anything from Radio Silence before, you’ll know that they usually put an interesting twist to any established genre, and it looks like they’re going to be poking fun at vampires now. Though a lot of Abigail does seem pretty horrific, we can see some of the comedy elements actually shine a little in some of the dialogue.

I guess it’s just odd to watch the girl from Netflix’s Matilda actually be a killer vampire now. With her being all catty and loving to dance, I have a feeling that Abigail is going to be the next gay horror icon besides M3GAN.

Catch Abigail when it comes into theaters this April 19.
