"Happy Death Day 2" first releases trailer, the death cycle starts again

Recently, the horror comedy "Happy Death Day 2" released its first trailer. In the trailer, the heroine of the film is trapped in a time loop. She keeps experiencing the same day and experiencing death countless times. She has to find clues to her own death from these experiences and find the key to solving the mystery of time.

This plot is very similar to the famous film "Groundhog Day". The entire trailer is very complete, but it seems to have combined the general plot and clues of the story. Judging from the performance of the trailer, the film will take the path of comedy mixed with horror movies. The story still takes place on the university campus, and the murderer wearing a mask still kills without blinking. It can be said that the sequel continues the creativity of the previous work. It is still a problem of time loop. From this point of view, the main creative team seems to be a little "lack of creativity".

Director Christopher Landon and Jessica Rosser, Israel Broussard, and Rachel Matthews all returned. The first "Happy Death Day" was a great success, bringing in $123 million worldwide with a budget of only $4.8 million. It was also rarely introduced to mainland China, earning 61.25 million RMB at the box office.

The film tells the story of a college student, Theresa (Jessica Rothe), who keeps reliving the day she was murdered, including all the details and the horrific ending, until she finds out the true identity of her killer. Therefore, it is not surprising that Blumhouse wants to retain the core members of the team. Although the screenwriter has not been announced, Scott Lobdell wrote the highly praised script for the first film, so it should be a reasonable thing for him to return for the second film.

Jessica Rosser, who plays the heroine Theresa, revealed in an interview with foreign media that the story of the sequel to the film has already been planned, and the director hopes to make it a series similar to "Back to the Future". As for the reason why the heroine Theresa is trapped in a loop, the director once reminded everyone to watch the film carefully, and there is a big easter egg hidden in the film, which may be highlighted in the sequel. According to the plan, the film will be released on Valentine's Day, February 14 next year.
