Harlin is directing new films from scripts written by Alan R. Cohen, Alan Freedland and Amber Loutfi. Back in October, the director told ComicBook.com that he actually considers the upcoming films “the first three films of the Strangers Universe.”
“And the way the third movie ends, if people thought the original movie ended on a cliffhanger because Liv Tyler kind of sighs at the end of it. And you’re like, ‘Did she survive, what happened?’ ” Harlin told the paper. “If you thought it was thought-provoking, I think when the third movie ends, you’re going to be like, ‘Oh my God, what, what’s going to happen now?'”Strangers: Chapter 1 it’s in theaters on May 17.
