A sequel to Fact or Dare was within the works that might have featured a New Nightmare twist, but it surely was scrapped through the pandemic.
After Fact or Dare made $95 million on a funds of $3.5 million, a follow-up felt like a no brainer, but it surely by no means occurred. Nonetheless, in line with Selection, a Fact or Dare sequel did virtually occur earlier than the plug was pulled on the final minute.
Fact or Dare follows a bunch of faculty college students who play a recreation of fact or dare whereas on trip in Mexico, solely to understand it has lethal penalties in the event that they don’t observe by means of on their obligations. The younger forged bonded throughout manufacturing and gave director Jeff Wadlow the thought for a really meta sequel within the vein of Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.
“We really wrote a ‘Fact or Dare’ sequel,” Wadlow stated. “Within the first one, there’s about 9 characters and 7 of them die, and I didn’t wish to do a ‘Remaining Vacation spot’-style sequel, or ‘Fact or Dare’ and it’s taking place once more to a unique group of individuals. It simply appeared form of boring to me.”
The director continued: “[The cast] had grow to be nice associates and had been occurring journeys collectively, hanging out in Large Bear. They’d this concept: ‘Wouldn’t it’s humorous if ‘Fact or Dare’ occurred to us whereas we had been on trip collectively, the actors?’ The joke grew to become that the sequel ought to be known as ‘Fact or Large Bear.’ I believed that was form of an excellent concept.“

Evaluation: Blumhouse’s Fact or Dare
So we wrote this script — ‘Fact or Dare IRL’ — and it begins with Markie and Olivia, Lucy and Violett’s characters. They’re on this scene, and it appears like our ‘Remaining Vacation spot’ kind-of ‘Fact or Dare’ scene, and Markie begins laughing in the midst of it. You hear, ‘Lower!’ and the director walks on the set, and we do the ‘New Nightmare’ therapy the place we reveal that Lucy and Violett are nonetheless associates. They’re going to go on this journey with the opposite actors from ‘Fact or Dare,’ with Tyler, Landon and Sam. Everybody who was within the first movie, they’re all buddies, and we discover out what occurred is the writers of the primary movie had researched an actual demon. Simply as Calux can hang-out a recreation within the movie, he’s now determined to hang-out a film in the actual world. It was scary and surreal and humorous and performed so much with subjectivity.
Wadlow deliberate to movie the sequel in a cabin on the Common lot, however this was through the peak of COVID, which meant that the forged and crew would have needed to quarantine. They had been ready to do what was wanted to get it carried out, however the dangers had been an excessive amount of for Blumhouse and Common to tackle on the time. “There’s this one cabin on the Common lot the place they’ve shot 1,000,000 issues — we had been going to take over that cabin,” Wadlow stated. “However I feel they began to understand that the well being and security dangers concerned at that second, and likewise the price implications of mainly not letting folks go away, would imply everybody was on extra time for all the shoot, they usually pulled the plug on it.“
At this level, Wadlow doesn’t assume the Fact or Dare sequel will ever occur as “an excessive amount of time has handed.“
