Nicolas Cage is officially ready to return to the world of long legs for a new installment of the film, reteaming with director Osgood Perkins to expand the successful horror franchise.
Paramount Pictures has secured the rights to the mysterious new project following the huge success of the original serial killer thriller, which became a huge sensation in 2024.
Not only will Cage return to star in the film, but he will also serve as producer, ensuring he remains a central figure in the demented universe he helped create.
News of the sequel was appropriately revealed on the 14th of the month, a nod to the film’s story, although specific plot details are being kept strictly under wraps.
The first film, in which an FBI agent pursued a homicidal maniac, was a stunning commercial success, grossing $128 million on a modest $10 million budget.
Cage’s performance as the Satan-worshipping assassin was particularly praised for being both disturbing and charming, further solidifying his reputation for taking on deeply twisted and memorable roles.
Osgood Perkins has returned to write and direct the as-yet-untitled film, fresh from establishing himself as a modern master of the horror genre.
From the first long legs film, Perkins has been incredibly busy, recently wrapping production on his next feature film, The young peoplestarring Nicole Kidman.
He has also worked on other highly anticipated projects such as the monkeybased on a short story by Stephen King, and Guardianboth of which kept him firmly within the independent horror scene.
For fans of the first film, Cage’s involvement suggests that the sequel will lean equally toward the dark, atmospheric horror that made the original 2024 thriller such a significant cultural moment.
