Moviegoers were held in suspense and stunned by the 2022 thriller Fall. Now, following its success, it looks like Capstone Studios has greenlit not only one but two Fall sequels for Lionsgate.
As shared via THR, “Scott Mann, who directed and co-wrote the original movie, will return to produce both sequels as well as co-write and direct the third film of the trilogy.” Plans for Fall 2 to begin shooting are currently set for June 2024, while Capstone Global will handle worldwide rights.
The publication adds that producers Mark Lane and James Harris of Tea Shop Productions will be reunited, in addition to Capstone’s Christian Mercuri, David Haring, and Mann via the Flawless banner. Dan Asma, John Long, and Roman Viaris will also return as executive producers. Both sequels will be financed by Capstone CEO Mercuri.
Though plot details are scarce, they will include characters from the original film. Naturally, new characters will also be introduced as the stories progress. For those unfamiliar, the first film revolves around two best friends played by Grace Caroline Currey and Virginia Gardner who end up stranded at the top of an abandoned 2,000 foot tall radio tower.
Mercuri shared the following statement regarding the two sequels and what they plan to achieve:
“These two new sequels are wonderful opportunities to expand on the original. We want to now take the franchise even further as we assemble the very best team and ideas to ensure the next hair-raising, death defying and pulse pounding film to global audiences,” said Mercuri.
Mann delivered his own statement:
“I am thrilled to be continuing the Fall journey and taking it to the next level,” added Mann. “We’ve got a really special cinematic experience planned and I’m immensely grateful to my fellow producers for backing the vision. I’m also excited to be working with new collaborators as well as reuniting with the original gang, and obviously can’t wait to be back filming thousands of feet up.”
