There’s some good news today regarding the anticipated sequel to Radio Silence’s 2019 horror-comedy hit Ready or Not. For one thing, they ARE doing the obvious and calling this Ready Or Not: Here I Come. It’s never a given with Hollywood….remember how Disney somehow missed “Ralph WRECKS The Internet“?
The other good news is the cast list. Most of the actors save lead Samara Weaving will have to be replaced with new characters. We don’t know who they’ll be yet, but playing them will be the likes of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elijah Wood, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, Kevin Durand, and David Cronenberg (yes, the director). Crazy!
In the original film Weaving played Grace, a young woman marrying into a wealthy family, only she doesn’t realize her luck isn’t as good as she thinks. This family seems to have acquired its wealth and power through underworldly means, and we don’t mean the mob. Whenever a new member marries into the family, they have to play a ritual the night after nuptials, and if the bride or groom winds up with the Hide or Seek card…that means the rest of the family has to kill them.
Grace, of course, picks that card, and has to play life-or-death Hide And Seek for the entire night while her in-laws skulk about carrying heavy medieval weaponry. Fortunately for her they aren’t very good at this, but….neither is Grace. If she can make it to sunup she wins, but will it happen?
I don’t think it’s much of a spoiler to say that it does, especially since we’ve already covered Weaving is returning. There were unanswered questions at the end of Ready or Not that could be explored in a sequel. My biggest question was…since she already got married, shouldn’t the marriage should still be valid even though her husband and everybody else are dead? That would mean she would inherit their fortune….their CURSED fortune. She wouldn’t be out of trouble yet!
Production has just started on Ready Or Not: Here I Come; the film has no revealed release window yet.
