OS: You’re attached to direct a sequel to Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark. With this second movie, do you already have an idea on which stories you want to adapt? Is there a chance for any completely original stories to have a place in the film?
AØ: I’m working with the writers, who are the same as who wrote the original script. And we’re developing the story and the script and yes, we’re now figuring out which stories to adapt, how to weave them in. They’re doing an amazing job. They’re balancing a sense of humour, a sense of horror – we’re aiming for a PG-13 movie, as we did for the first one. It’s for youths, it’s not a hard horror. We’re very excited about creating a progression from the first movie and having a development of the mythology. We have lots of ideas to ensure that the Gammell world is brought into the stories, as well, in a profound, wonderful way.
Before he tackles the horror flick, Øvredal’s newest release,Mortal, is beginning to make its way into the world. Described as ‘ChroniclemeetsX-MenmeetsThor’, Mortalis this summer’s superhero movie.
