It’s been nine months since Don’t Breathe director Fede Alvarez confirmed plans for a sequel to the sleepy hit of 2016.
It was announced back in November of 2016 that a sequel to Don’t Breathe was on the menu, which was not surprising to hear given the film raked in $150 million at the worldwide box office on a $10 million budget. At the time, Alvarez even said that he was potentially returning to the director’s chair.
As Alvarez and producer Sam Raimi explained in November 2016, the focus of the sequel will be the Blind Man, played by Stephen Lang. “The challenge obviously is we just don’t want to do the same movie again and just have 2 in it,” Alvarez noted. Raimi added, “It’s only the greatest idea for a sequel I’ve ever heard. I’m not kidding.”
Lang is doubling down and reconfirms that plans are still underway, confidently telling Screen Rant:
“Oh yeah, we’re doing a sequel.”
In the first film, Rocky (Jane Levy), Alex and Money are three Detroit thieves who get their kicks by breaking into the houses of wealthy people. Money gets word about a blind veteran (Stephen Lang) who won a major cash settlement following the death of his only child. Figuring he’s an easy target, the trio invades the man’s secluded home in an abandoned neighborhood. Finding themselves trapped inside, the young intruders must fight for their lives after making a shocking discovery about their supposedly helpless victim.
The big twist is that there’s a young woman trapped in the basement, who turns out to be the girl who accidentally killed the blind man’s daughter. Hypothetically, we could see a prequel and learn how this girl ends up in a blind man’s basement (although in my head it’s as simple as she was overcome with guilt and stopped by the man’s house looking for redemption). A sequel was teased in a deleted scene in which the blind man is following Levy at an airport, cane and all. More than anything I’m interested in how they could further this story that seems to have run its course.
