Joining our team are the new hires: Jay Prychidny, an editor known for his work on “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice”, Ryan Reed who heads the hair department and has worked on “It Chapter Two”, and Thomas Hayek, a sound mixer with credits in “Thanksgiving” and “The Boys”.

Title “Ready or Not” features Weaving as a newlywed who unknowingly ties the knot with an affluent family of devil-worshippers, who aim to slaughter her before sunrise in a lethal game of hide and seek. This film, boasting Adam Brody, Andie MacDowell, and Henry Czerny, was made on a budget of $6 million but grossed $28 million within the U.S., making it Searchlight’s top box office hit of 2019.

Filming for the sequel started in Toronto during April, and it has now been announced that production has come to an end. At this time, specifics about the storyline are being kept confidential. The producers for this project include Tripp Vinson, James Vanderbilt, Bradley J. Fischer, and William Sherak. Additionally, Chad Villella, Tara Farney, Greg Denny, Busick, Murphy, Weaving, and Paul Neinstein serve in executive producer roles.

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve learned Richard Ruiz, our Vice President of Production, along with Cornelia Burleigh, a creative executive, are leading the charge on this exciting project for Searchlight Pictures. They work under the guidance of our esteemed heads of production and development, DanTram Nguyen and Katie Goodson-Thomas.
