Paramount Pictures has officially given the green light to Crawl 2, the sequel to the 2019 survival horror hit Crawl. The original film, which was praised for its intense action and suspense, has left fans eagerly awaiting a continuation of the story. Directed by Alexandre Aja, who is known for his work in the horror genre with films like The Hills Have Eyes and Piranha 3D, returns for the sequel, Crawl 2 promises to deliver even more of the nail-biting tension that made the first film a success.
Crawl, which starred Kaya Scodelario as Haley Keller, a young woman trapped in a flooding house with her father while battling ferocious alligators, became a surprise box office hit, earning over $91 million worldwide on a modest budget of around $13.5 to $15 million. The film’s mix of natural disaster horror and creature feature thrills resonated with audiences, leading to widespread speculation about a possible sequel.
In the upcoming Crawl 2, details about the plot remain under wraps, but the film is expected to expand on the original’s premise, with the stakes likely to be even higher. The sequel will have a plot settled in urban threats in New York City. Producer Sam Raimi, who also returns for the sequel, hinted that Crawl 2 will push the boundaries of survival horror even further.
The screenplay Crawl 2, written by Jason Pagan and Andrew Deutschman, known for writing horror films, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension and time-travel movie Project Almanac, is set to build on the intense atmosphere and relentless pacing that made the first movie a hit. While the cast for the sequel has not yet been announced, fans are hoping to see Kaya Scodelario reprise her role as the resourceful Haley Keller, who became an unexpected action heroine in the first film.
Paramount has yet to announce a release date, but production is expected to begin soon, with more details likely to emerge as the project moves forward. As Crawl 2 heats up at Paramount, the film promises to deliver another adrenaline-fueled experience that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats. With Alexandre Aja at the helm, fans can expect more of the high-stakes survival horror that made the first film a standout in the genre.
