20 Upcoming Movie Sequels You Had NO IDEA About
10. Lights Out 2
Considering that David F. Sandberg's directorial debut Lights Out was an absolutely monstrous box office success back in 2016, it's shocking that Warner Bros. didn't rush to churn out a couple of sequels for some easy profit.
Though Sandberg and screenwriter Eric Heisserer were originally hired to develop a sequel, movement stalled in the years that followed, and as recently as last year, Sandberg doubted that Lights Out 2 would ever happen because of how much time had passed since the original horror hit.
But back in March, New Line Cinema announced that the sequel was indeed finally happening, with rising screenwriter Connor Osborn McIntyre penning the script, while Sandberg and Heisserer will return as producers.
It remains to be seen if original star Teresa Palmer will return, though considering an entire decade has passed since the first film, it's probably more likely this functions as a standalone follow-up.
Considering the low-key brilliance of the initial concept - a malevolent entity which can only attack its victims in the dark - there's clearly a whole ton of mileage for a skilled, on-the-rise filmmaker to exploit it.
