Summer is just around the corner, but we’re craving turkey right now because the upcoming horror sequel Thanksgiving 2 has finally had a rather tasty filming update.
"There is a script. I haven’t read it yet. But I know that the goal is to film this year," said star Nell Verlaque in an interview with Variety. "I would hope that we start filming soon enough."
In the movie, Verlaque plays final girl Jessica, who narrowly manages to survive the killings alongside her friends Gaby (Addison Rae), Scuba (Gabriel Davenport), Ryan (Milo Manheim), and Bobby (Jalen Thomas Brooks). However, although Roth has confirmed Verlaque and Rae’s return, it is not certain at this point who else will be making a comeback.
Although she has yet to see the script, when asked what she hopes for her character in the sequel, Verlaque expressed that she wants to be involved with a lot more gore. "I would like to get covered in blood," said the star, adding that she has already made writer and director Roth privy to her wish.
"I told him I really wanted to be tortured. Like fully pained [and] tortured," continued Verlaque. "I think it’s more fun as an actor. The crazier, the better for me."
The first film, which was inspired by a fake trailer for Roth’s 2007 flick Grindhouse, also stars Patrick Dempsey, Rick Hoffman, and Gina Gershon. However, as Dempsey’s killer was revealed and then seemingly defeated in Thanksgiving, we wonder if he will return, or if not, who will take on the role of the masked villain in the sequel.
