\n\tHeart Eyes<\/a> Killer, the deranged murderer who strikes on Valentine\u2019s Day, has staked a big-screen return. <\/p>\n

\n\tParamount Pictures will co-produce and co-finance \u201cHeart Eyes 2,\u201d with a release date set for Feb. 11, 2028. Sony Pictures had distributed the first film, which earned $33 million at the global box office against an $18 million budget in 2025. <\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Holt and Mason Gooding starred in \u201cHeart Eyes\u201d as two co-workers who are mistaken for lovers by a serial killer whose calling card is slaying couples on the most romantic holiday of the year. Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Devon Sawa, and Jordana Brewster rounded out the cast. It\u2019s unclear who from that group is returning for the sequel. Plot details haven\u2019t been revealed, either.<\/p>\n

\n\tJosh Ruben is back to direct \u201cHeart Eyes 2.\u201d He will also co-write the script with Darcy Fowler from a story by Christopher Landon and Michael Kennedy. Spyglass Media co-produced and co-financed \u201cHeart Eyes\u201d and the sequel. Landon\u00a0and Divide\/Conquer\u00a0will also serve as producers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHeart Eyes\u201d wasn\u2019t exactly a box office smash, but reviews were solid for the horror genre. Variety\u2019s Courtney Howard praised the film<\/a> as a a breezy rom-com slasher that slices and dices with charm,\u201d adding that \u201c\u2018Heart Eyes\u2019 makes us swoon and squirm in equal measure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year, Ruben suggested to Variety<\/a> that \u201dHeart Eyes\u201d had \u201cpotential for a long life\u201d through sequels and spinoffs.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ll put it this way: You could replicate the structure of any great rom-com, from \u2018His Girl Friday\u2019 to \u2018Defending Your Life,\u2019 and you could drop Heart Eyes into the center of that story, and have him flash and slash about,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s exciting about this: There\u2019s an opportunity that we could have whoever the filmmaker was \u2014\u00a0certainly, I\u2019d be interested \u2014 genuinely trying to create or replicate that rom-com, or the\u00a0feeling\u00a0of a \u201cBridget Jones\u201d or \u201cLove Actually\u201d or what have you, but actually have those people terrified by this psychopathic killer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Heart Eyes Killer, the deranged murderer who strikes on Valentine\u2019s Day, has staked a big-screen return.
