In 2022, this thriller created a surprise. Today, “Fall” is preparing to become a franchise as two sequels have been ordered!
Fall, by Scott Mann, created a surprise in 2022, winning not only the favor of critics but also of the public with its 20 million dollars generated at the worldwide box office (for a budget of 3 million).
The high-altitude survival thriller, a real goose that lays the golden eggs for Lionsgate, is now on the verge of becoming a franchise: Capstone Studios, the independent production company behind the film, has given the green light to two sequels, Fall 2 and Fall 3.
Scott Mann, who directed and co-wrote the original film, will return to produce the two sequels as well as co-write and direct the third film in the announced trilogy. As for the second part, Capstone Studios has announced that the director duo, Michael and Peter Spierig (Jigsaw), have been chosen to sign it. They will therefore work in collaboration with Scott Mann, while Jonathan Frank will write the screenplay. Filming for this second opus should begin next month.
Go even further
“These two new sequels are wonderful opportunities to expand on the original. We now want to take the franchise even further by bringing together the best team and ideas to deliver the next hair-raising, death-defying and thrilling film to global audiences.”, said Capstone Pictures executive Christian Mercuri.
“I’m excited to continue Fall’s journey and take it to the next level“, added Scott Mann. “We have planned a truly special cinematic experience and I am extremely grateful to my fellow producers for supporting this vision. I’m also excited to work with new collaborators and reunite with the original gang, and I’m obviously looking forward to returning to film from hundreds of feet up.”
Fall 2 And Fall 3 will bring back the original characters, while also making room for new faces. As a reminder, Fall follows two best friends – played by Grace Caroline Currey and Virginia Gardner – who climb to the top of an abandoned radio tower, 600 meters high, and find themselves stuck with no way to get back down. Their adventure quickly turns into a nightmare as they desperately struggle to survive the elements, the lack of food and other persistent dizziness. The film also stars Mason Gooding and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Although it was released directly on VOD here, Fall had ranked number one in several countries around the world and earned a nomination as best foreign film for a Golden Rooster, China’s equivalent of the Oscars.
Fall can be discovered on VOD, if you haven’t already.
