Jason Blum & Christopher Landon Happy Death Day 2U Interview
Of all the Blumhouse sequels, one of the most unexpected and unpredictable is Happy Death Day 2U, the genre-bending followup to the 2017 breakout hit that dropped a slasher movie in Groundhog's Day-style time loop. For the sequel, writer-director Christopher Landon returns and reinvents his own franchise, transforming the slasher comedy into a sci-fi adventure (don't worry there's still a masked murderer) that takes audiences into new time loops and new dimensions.
With Happy Death Day 2U now in theaters, I recently sat down for an interview with Landon and producer Jason Blum for a fun interview. They talked about why they were surprised to make a Happy Death Day sequel, subverting expectations, and their theories on why multi-verse stories are all the rage right now. Watch what they had to say in the video above and read a break down of the discussion topics below.
