During a recent interview with People magazine, Gillett and Bettinelli-Olpin, the filmmaking duo well-known for their works on the recent 'Scream' reboots, candidly spoke about the 'Ready or Not' franchise. "We never dreamed Ready or Not would connect with people the way it has over the past few years, and feel so honored to get to step back into Grace’s world," Gillett and Bettinelli-Olpin shared.
In addition to this, the directors also mentioned that returning to the franchise with Samara Weaving was "much more emotional than we expected." The duo elaborated, "The original movie really changed our lives in countless ways, and to see Samara back in that character and back in that dress felt really special to us." Elsewhere in their interview, Weaving also shed light on their emotional reunion.
Weaving said, "I was a bit nervous and not sure if I would remember what I was doing in the first one, but once I put that dress back on, I got super excited. The entire character came flooding back. We were all quite emotional in that fitting, actually. Revisiting the character is one thing, but working with that crew again was the best part." Furthermore, Weaving described the sequel as "so unhinged" and "absolutely cooked" that "you're gonna love it."
