Overview
- The film, which hit Netflix on Friday, has stayed in the platform’s top 10 as new viewers discover the 2009 horror-comedy.
- Director Karyn Kusama confirmed to SyFy that a sequel is in the works, and writer Diablo Cody says the new project allows more creative freedom than the first.
- Key casting remains unsettled, with Amanda Seyfried saying she would return only if Megan Fox does and no release plan announced by a studio.
- The movie underperformed in 2009, and Cody has blamed marketing that highlighted Megan Fox’s image over the story’s themes, which later drew a devoted audience online.
- The renewed attention shows how a streaming launch can revive a cult title’s reputation and spur real movement on long-discussed follow-ups.
