Backrooms Sequel in the Works

A sequel to Backrooms is successful the works, according to Deadline. After the monolithic container bureau play for Backrooms, Kane Parsons is already processing a sequel, but there's nary connection connected casting nor is the movie officially greenlight for production. What we bash cognize is that Parsons is looking for a penning spouse to assistance make the sequel. This suggests that writer Will Soodik volition not instrumentality for the film. Soodik was the lone credited writer connected the film, but helium did instrumentality implicit from Roberto Patino, who wrote the archetypal drafts of the fearfulness film.

Although Backrooms has received nary shortage of praise, the 1 country it has been often dinged is successful the existent accepted narrative. Some consciousness that the communicative is simply a small excessively heavy-handed, on-the-nose, oregon conscionable outright uninteresting, and the movie mostly thrives successful sequences that don't person immoderate dialog oregon are focused connected exploring the much horrific sides of the film. It's imaginable Parsons feels that mode excessively and that's wherefore he's seeking a caller writer, but Soodik besides whitethorn beryllium engaged with different projects oregon uninterested successful exploring this satellite immoderate further.

As for wherever the communicative could spell from here, Parsons has a batch of freedom. Backrooms doesn't explicitly laic the groundwork for a sequel, but determination is 1 quality (played by Mark Duplass) introduced astatine the extremity of the movie who could beryllium a beardown campaigner for starring the adjacent movie. It's a movie that leaves you with much questions than answers, though not successful a mode that baits you into a sequel. Parsons doesn't look to beryllium funny successful really providing nonstop answers, arsenic the enigma of Backrooms is its biggest spot and draw.

Either way, aft raking successful implicit $100 cardinal astatine the container bureau successful its opening weekend, it's wide that A24 volition apt privation much Backrooms arsenic soon arsenic possible. Parsons has besides expressed anticipation successful directing an adaptation of Valve's puzzle game, Portal, astatine immoderate point. Perhaps if helium continues to find occurrence successful Backrooms, Valve volition spot him capable to fto him marque his imagination film.

Parsons' occurrence has besides drawn immoderate conspiracy theories. Given the manager is conscionable 20-years-old with nary acquisition successful making live-action diagnostic films, immoderate suggested that Backrooms was "ghost directed" by 1 of the film's salient producers: James Wan, Shawn Levy, and/or Osgood Perkins. However, Mark Duplass defended Parsons and noted that helium didn't request that benignant of assistance arsenic helium came highly prepared.
