Sam Raimi Says Crawl 2 Has Fresh Interest at Paramount, No Greenlight Yet

Raimi says enthusiasm from new studio leadership gives the stalled sequel renewed momentum.

Overview

  • Raimi told The Wrap that Paramount’s new team is interested in Crawl 2, giving him “new hope” to make it.
  • The project remains unapproved with no announced cast, start date, or production timeline.
  • Alexandre Aja had been lined up to return as director, with earlier reports pointing to a move to a partially submerged New York City setting.
  • Aja has now signed on to direct Netflix’s Under Paris 2, which could impact scheduling for any Crawl follow-up.
  • The 2019 original earned more than $91 million on a reported $13 million budget, and writers Andrew Deutschman and Jason Pagan had been attached for the sequel.
