In an exclusive interview with Comingsoon.net, director André Øvredal – while talking about his upcoming superhero thriller MORTAL – gave a few quick updates about the sequel to the successful SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK movie:

We have a great new story and some fun, scary stories implemented in a good way, I’m very excited about the sequel…I shouldn’t [say] and I can’t really, you never know what you can and can not say about these things, it’s hard to talk about at this stage. I know it’s been out there in the public already, so I can’t give away too much [chuckles]. I’m part of the process of developing, not the writing because it’s Dan and Kevin, who wrote the first one, but I’m definitely part of the development process on this one. As you indicated, the original script was developed for Guillermo to direct originally.
