Stephen Lang Says Don’t Breathe 2 Will Be Its Own Movie

In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Stephen Lang said that the upcoming sequel to Don’t Breathe will be its own film that sets itself apart from the original. Here are highlights:

On what to expect from the sequel: “I never walked away from a scene on this feeling like we’d left something on the table there. We really strived to get everything we could out of it. It has a tremendous kinship with the first film, but in many ways — in every way — it’s very much its own thing.”

On making sure they get it right: “We kind of debate and negotiate and massage every word, every phrase, every grunt. We all have a ball doing it, because we enjoy working together. On the day-to-day life on set, I had a lot of input into it.”

On the status of Avatar 2: “I haven’t shot anything in probably close to a year. But I’d shot for two years before that, so I’m good. I know there is still a huge amount of work to be done. As far as I can tell, Avatar 2 — it’s shot. I have no doubt that when Avatar 2 does come out, it’s going to be the movie he feels it needs to be. I’d say the same for 3, 4 and 5. We haven’t got to 4 or 5 yet, even though we have shot a scene from 4.”
