Lulu Wilson (Modern Love) is set to return for Becky 2: The Wrath of Becky, a sequel to Quiver Distribution’s 2020 horror-thriller Becky, which will also star Seann William Scott (Welcome To Flatch).
In the original film, the spunky and rebellious teenager Becky (Wilson) tries to reconnect with her father (Joel McHale) during a weekend getaway at a lakefront house. But the trip soon takes a turn for the worse when convicts on the run, led by the merciless Dominick (Kevin James), suddenly invade the home. The feature found success, in spite of the fact that it was released at the height of the Covid pandemic, topping the June 5 weekend box office and earning the biggest opening weekend since mid-March of 2020.
Prior to the events of the recently-wrapped new chapter, Becky has been living off the grid for two years. She then finds herself going toe to toe against Darryl (Scott), the leader of a fascist organization, on the eve of an organized attack.
Becky 2: The Wrath of Becky was written and directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote (The Open House), with Media Finance Capital and Rainmaker Films providing production financing. Russ Posternak of Post Film produced alongside Raphael Margules, JD Lifshitz and Tracy Rosenblum of BoulderLight Pictures, Chadd Harbold, and Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman of Yale Productions. Quiver Distribution’s Berry Meyerowitz, Jeff Sackman and Larry Greenberg exec produced along with Wilson, Scott, Nick Morris, and the duo of Jon Millot and Cary Murnion (Bushwick), who directed the original. Quiver Distribution holds worldwide rights and is planning an early 2023 release.
“We’re thrilled to bring back our favorite young heroine in Becky 2: The Wrath of Becky,” said Quiver Distribution
