\n\tRadio Silence<\/a>, the filmmaking collective of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, are finally back for more twisted fun and sadistic games in Ready or Not<\/a> 2: Here I Come, the original property that took their careers to the next level back in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen The Hollywood Reporter sat down with the directing duo three weeks out from their sequel\u2019s March 20 release, they were all smiles. They\u2019re confident in their Samara Weaving<\/a>-led follow-up, and together with Searchlight, they were eager to screen the film for press over a month out from release, a tell-tale sign of confidence for any movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new installment picks up right where the 2019 horror-thriller left off. Weaving\u2019s Grace MacCaullay is smoking her victory cigarette having just defeated the Le Domas family, her wealthy in-laws for half a day, at their ritualistic and deadly take on hide-and-seek. She quickly collapses from the injuries she\u2019s sustained, and when she awakens in a hospital bed, she\u2019s greeted by her estranged biological sister (and outdated emergency contact), Faith MacCaullay (Kathryn Newton<\/a>). The bickering sisters are soon forced to work together as Grace\u2019s win over a \u201cHigh Council family\u201d has triggered a more expansive game of hide-and-seek among four other elite families who are competing to be the head of the shadowy institution that secretly runs the world.<\/p>\n

\n\tTHR last caught up with Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett for their vampire thriller, Abigail<\/a> (2024), and at that point in time, they were offering their well-wishes to the Ready or Not 2 creative team. While they\u2019d done some writing on the script years earlier, the sequel was fully in their rearview mirror. But they did come home from promoting Abigail with the inspiration to write an original sister story for their Ready or Not star, Weaving, and their Abigail co-star, Newton. Shortly thereafter, they got a call from Ready or Not and Abigail producer, Tripp Vinson, as part of a last-ditch effort to bring them back into the sequel\u2019s fold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAfter Tripp called, we were like, \u2018We\u2019re going to steal our own [Weaving-Newton sister story] idea. We\u2019ll pitch it to the gang and see if they like it.\u2019 And they jumped on it,\u201d Bettinelli-Olpin tells THR in support of Ready or Not 2\u2019s March 13 South by Southwest premiere and March 20 theatrical release. \u201cOnce that sisterly idea clicked into place, we got super excited about jumping back into Ready or Not 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEverything seemed to be in its right place until Radio Silence were thrown a potential catastrophic curve ball. Ten days before filming was slated to start, Weaving, their battle-tested scream queen, suddenly couldn\u2019t walk. She wrecked her back grabbing a pillow of all things.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever been more anxious about the prep of a movie and whether or not it was going to happen,\u201d Gillett says. \u201cSam couldn\u2019t even move. She was just lying on the floor, and we were all acting as if we were filming a movie in a week and a half,\u201d Bettinelli-Olpin adds.<\/p>\n

\n\tLuckily, Weaving\u2019s condition improved a few days before the start of principal photography, although she admittedly did much less stunt work than she normally would.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBettinelli-Olpin and Gillett also happened to be talking with THR a few hours before Scream 7\u2019s preview screenings on Feb. 26, and unlike the current brain trust of that franchise, they were eager to talk about the ups and downs of their tenure on Scream (2022) and Scream VI<\/a> (2023). At any rate, they believe in the principle that a rising tide lifts all boats, so they were rooting for Scream 7\u2019s box office success at the time. (It has in fact succeeded financially with a franchise-best opening weekend. Radio Silence received contractual\/vanity EP credits.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat we make is only successful if the things around it are successful. So it\u2019s a good question [as to whether we\u2019re feeling competitive with Scream 7], but we honestly want that movie to crush because it\u2019s good for us,\u201d Gillett says. \u201cIf people show up at the theater and watch it, they\u2019ll be more willing to show up to the theater for Ready or Not 2 when it comes out March 20.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRadio Silence\u2019s Scream films were well-received critically and commercially, averaging $152 million at the worldwide box office. However, there were certainly some speed bumps, such as when they were subjected to a bake-off between their directors\u2019 cut of Scream (2022) and the studio\u2019s preferred shorter cut. Both versions achieved comparable test scores, but when the powers that be looked under the hood, Radio Silence\u2019s cut tested higher in terms of emotional investment. That\u2019s why it became the iteration that made it into multiplexes.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was a very bizarre and very scary situation. You go into that game knowing that if you lose, you lose,\u201d Gillett recalls. \u201cSo there was a lot of anxiety, and you stake your taste in so many ways on the outcome of that process. It was a rough couple weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt a particular point in Ready or Not 2, Weaving\u2019s Grace goes toe to toe with another young woman from a council family. I won\u2019t say too much about the character who\u2019s played memorably by actor Maia Jae, but she does have an axe to grind with Grace over something they have in common. There\u2019s enough of a resemblance between Jae and one of Radio Silence\u2019s frequent collaborators that viewers may inevitably wonder whether Melissa Barrera<\/a> was ever in the mix for the role. She and Weaving both share a couple key commonalities as well. They\u2019ve led a total of five Radio Silence movies between the two of them, and Weaving was originally meant to play Barrera\u2019s role of Sam Carpenter in Scream (2022) and Scream VI. Weaving\u2019s nickname of Sam even inspired the character\u2019s name, so the notion of them brawling in Ready or Not 2 could\u2019ve been some meta fun.<\/p>\n

\n\tBettinelli-Olpin and Gillett are typically game for meta shenanigans, a likely byproduct of helming two meta slasher movies in the Scream franchise. Abigail also subtly included a painting of a distant relative to Henry Czerny\u2019s Tony Le Domas from Ready or Not. But in the case of Barrera joining Ready or Not 2, they indicate it would\u2019ve been too self-referential.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe love Melissa. We made three movies with her, and we\u2019d make more,\u201d Bettinelli-Olpin says. \u201cWe also were conscious of not overwhelming this movie with our stuff. Kathryn was already doing so much of that coming from Abigail. But there\u2019s a version, somewhere, of Melissa [in that role].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGillett adds: \u201cOur movies will always have a little bit of that meta language in it, but because Scream is so meta in its DNA, there was a little fear of, \u2018Are we speaking too much outside the world of Ready or Not?\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBelow, during a conversation with THR, Radio Silence also discuss why they aren\u2019t intimidated by the scale of their next film, The Mummy 4<\/a>, starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen we last spoke for Abigail<\/a>, we talked about Ready or Not 2 being in the hands of someone else. You said you hadn\u2019t worked on the script in years, and you wished everybody the best of luck. What happened from there?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tMATT BETTINELLI-OLPIN Well, after Abigail, there was a serendipitous turn of events, one of them being that we did not have a job.<\/p>\n

\n\tRADIO SILENCE (Laugh.)<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN [Abigail and Ready or Not producer] Tripp Vinson called us up and was like, \u201cHey guys, Ready or Not 2? Would you!?\u201d As we discussed with you, we\u2019d stepped away from it. Tripp then said, \u201cIf we can figure it out, schedule-wise, would you guys be interested in coming back to do it in this window?\u201d And we were like, \u201cYes, but give us a beat because we need to figure out the emotional core of the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTYLER GILLETT Yeah, we reread the [older Ready or Not 2] script, and we were like, \u201cFuck, this is good.\u201d But being years away from it, you read things with a fresh-eye approach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN Then we were like, \u201cWhat is the in here?\u201d And having just worked with Kathryn Newton on Abigail, we\u2019d already had the takeaway that Samara and Kathryn need to be in a movie together as sisters. So, as soon as we got home from Abigail, we wrote a script, just to get it out of our system, for the two of them. Then, after Tripp called, we were like, \u201cWe\u2019re going to steal our own [Weaving-Newton sister] idea. We\u2019ll pitch to the gang and see if they like it.\u201d And they jumped on it. They were like, \u201cYeah, oh my God, that\u2019d be great. It deepens Grace as a character and gives us a lot of fun drama here.\u201d The first Ready or Not is such an anti-love story in a lot of ways. You watch that perfect relationship fall apart. And in this one, we were like, \u201cWell, what\u2019s the love story? How do we give Grace a love story? What\u2019s the inverse?\u201d So once that sisterly idea clicked into place, we got super excited about jumping back into Ready or Not 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tFor years, I was one of many that urged Chris Landon and Jason Blum to pair Kathryn Newton and Jessica Rothe in a Freaky Death Day crossover, and they didn\u2019t seize the day. But then you guys came along and created another dynamic duo in Kathryn and Samara. Did the older script have a version of who Kathryn is now playing?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT There was a sister-adjacent character. We knew that there had to be a new core relationship for the sequel, and we went through a handful of iterations. It was a friend, a police officer and, for a minute, a daughter of one of the family members. So we were circling the notion and the energy of a real central relationship and sounding board for Grace. One of the things we knew and felt when we reread it was it can\u2019t just be Grace on the run again, fighting people in a bigger, badder or bolder way. There needed to be something deeper and more specific to the emotional journey. And there\u2019s a cheat code in the sister character. By and large, it\u2019s so relatable, whether it\u2019s a sister or another family member. We are siblings of sorts, and we also have actual siblings. So you just go, \u201cOh, right. I can understand, without knowing everything, how a relationship like that could fall apart.\u201d It weirdly needs less explanation while still somehow being more specific, deeper, richer and personal. And knowing that the movie was going to have the pace that it has, there needed to be a bit of a hack to how important and significant this relationship maybe was and then what the wound is for it to have fallen apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN It was a light-bulb moment. Thematically, it fits so well. In the first movie, Grace doesn\u2019t have a family [coming from the foster system], and all she wants is a family [of her choice]. To then make the second movie about her reclaiming the family she\u2019d turned away from, we had moments where we were like, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t we see this earlier? This just fits. What were we running from then?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT It doesn\u2019t matter how you get there as long as you get there.<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN Exactly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tSamara Weaving<\/a> and Kathryn Newton in Ready or Not 2: Here I Come<\/a><\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPief Weyman\/Searchlight Pictures<\/p>\n

\n\tSamara accidentally gave Andie MacDowell a black eye on the first movie, and she told me a couple months ago that Kathryn avenged Andie on the sequel. What scene led to Kathryn clocking Samara by mistake?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT It was the sniper sequence. There\u2019s some gunfire, and both of them had to duck and hit the dirt while they\u2019re handcuffed. But hitting the ground together could only be done in a very specific way because they were tethered to one another. So Kathryn went down first with her leg up, and Sam went down right on top of Kathryn\u2019s foot. There\u2019s video evidence of it in the blooper reel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSam really had a rough go of it. She also had a last-minute back issue, so how uncertain did things get?<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever been more anxious about the prep of a movie and whether or not it was going to happen.<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN I would say that we, full stop, were in denial. It was straight-up denial. I should show you a picture. We sat down to talk with Sam and Kat about the movie and the characters and what we\u2019re doing. This was a week and a half before filming, and Sam couldn\u2019t even move. She was just lying on the floor, and we were all acting as if we were filming a movie in a week and a half. We were wondering, \u201cHow do we do that if Samara can\u2019t even stand? What could we do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT She only lies down in one scene in the movie. She\u2019s legitimately running at full speed the rest of the movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN It was literally within a few days of filming that she just showed up and was like, \u201cGuys, my back\u2019s back! It\u2019s working.\u201d (Bettinelli-Olpin mimics the motion Weaving was making.) We were like, \u201cDon\u2019t undo it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT The way she injured her back was very funny in a way. She was like, \u201cI was picking up a pillow and my back just went out. \u201c<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s always something stupid like that.<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT Yeah, it\u2019s always just the most everyday, most innocuous thing. During camera tests, we were doing the hair-and-makeup looks and costume looks for everybody. Sam walked out in the dress, and we could tell that she was at 40 percent. She was just so seized up, and we were like, \u201cFuck, man.\u201d So we prayed to Le Bail [the film series\u2019 supernatural overlord] that she\u2019d pull through, and here we are.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tSamara Weaving in Ready or Not 2: Here I Come<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPief Weyman\/Searchlight Pictures<\/p>\n

\n\tWe\u2019re currently talking on the day of Scream 7\u2019s release, and your movie is set to hit theaters a few weeks after it. I know you\u2019re going to say that you can\u2019t wait to see it and that you have many friends over there, but are you still feeling a little competitive?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN I don\u2019t think we\u2019re feeling competitive with it. We both really made peace with leaving the Scream world behind us. And you\u2019re right. We do love a lot of people involved. But we\u2019ve also been so focused on this movie.<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT And we worked with a lot of those same people on Ready or Not 2 in some respect. We want everything in this genre to succeed. There is always something fun to us in the competitive nature of a release. We\u2019d be lying if we said that wasn\u2019t part of the excitement of having a movie hit theaters. It\u2019s the gamification of the movie getting out there and its tracking numbers and all of that stuff. But at the end of the day, it only works if the genre succeeds. What we make is only successful if the things around it are successful. So it\u2019s a good question, but we honestly want that movie to crush because it\u2019s good for us. If people show up at the theater and watch it, they\u2019ll be more willing to show up to the theater for Ready or Not 2 when it comes out March 20.<\/p>\n

\n\tPart of the reason why you left was because you wanted to make something else first.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN Right.<\/p>\n

\n\tWell, as it turned out, you made two movies by the time they got their act together. Would you still not change how it all worked out?<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN Not in a million years. We love creating new things. Ready or Not 2 is a sequel, but it\u2019s a sequel to something we created. So it does feel like an original. It has that original energy. We also had the greatest fucking time making Abigail. It\u2019s a movie that is finding its audience, post-release. It obviously wasn\u2019t a runaway hit, but we were lucky to be able to put something new into the world. We even tried that with our Scream movies, especially Scream VI. It was like, \u201cThere\u2019s five of these now. How do we make something new? Let\u2019s take some swings and challenge the audience a little.\u201d So it\u2019s always about challenging the audience and challenging ourselves. How do we create something new even if it\u2019s in a preexisting franchise? Of course, I say that knowing that our next movie [The Mummy 4] is also part of a preexisting franchise.<\/p>\n

\n\tRADIO SILENCE (Laugh.)<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT We really try hard, and succeed, at falling deeply in love with whatever we\u2019re working on. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever made something where it\u2019s like, \u201cYeah, we\u2019ll just jump on that and make it for them.\u201d There\u2019s no \u201cone for us, one for them.\u201d They\u2019re all for us. So the only way that we know how to give all of ourselves to something is to truly fall deeply, deeply in love with the project, the script and the process. So, no, I don\u2019t think we would change a thing about [our exit from the Scream franchise] because Abigail and Ready or Not 2 have been a dream.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s a difference between the interview you give during the release of a movie and the interview you give years later about it. That leads me to your interview<\/a> with Mike Flanagan in 2024. You revealed that there was some baking going on during Scream 5\u2019s post-production. Can you shed any light on what was being taste-tested?<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN Certainly. There were two cuts of that movie. There was the one that exists and everyone has seen. Then there was another cut where the first half was totally different. It was just a very shortened version of the first half of the movie, and that was the studio cut at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT Yeah, what they valued about the movie was very different from what we valued about the movie at the end of the day. That\u2019s how you end up in those bake-offs. (Laughs.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN 100 percent. This keeps coming up for us [in post]. The things that we love the most in anything we make are usually the things that have the biggest target on them in the edit to cut. They\u2019re the things that are a little off-kilter and offbeat.<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT And they may seem inessential.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN Yeah, we\u2019ll hear, \u201cDo we need this? Why is this here? This isn\u2019t what would normally happen in every movie.\u201d And our reaction is, \u201cWell, yeah, that\u2019s why it\u2019s there. That\u2019s why we like it.\u201d So there was some of that in the bake-off for Scream 5. The nutshell version is we tested both of them, and because the second half was the same in each one, they both tested extremely similar. But when you went into the details of it \u2014\u00a0and more than anything, when you watched the reactions \u2014\u00a0people who saw the cut that exists had a great time.<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT They internalized it.<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN Yeah, they talked about it in an excited way on a character level. With the other version, they were like, \u201cYeah, it was cool. I liked it. \u201d But there was no energy behind it, and they weren\u2019t attaching to any of the characters. They didn\u2019t really care. So that really helped us get our version into theaters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT If people are not familiar with the data from that preview process, you get extremely granular information about what people like, what people didn\u2019t, how people responded to the characters, how people respond to certain scenes. And that is where it was clear that one cut was scoring much higher than the other. It was a very bizarre and very scary situation. You go into that game knowing that if you lose, you lose. So there was a lot of anxiety, and you stake your taste in so many ways on the outcome of that process. It was a rough couple weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t want to discount Maia Jae. She\u2019s terrific in Ready or Not 2 as Francesca, a member of one of the High Council families. However, I couldn\u2019t help but imagine another individual in that role. It would\u2019ve allowed your two leading ladies \u2014\u00a0the original Sam Carpenter<\/a> versus the actual Sam Carpenter<\/a> \u2014 to square off. Did you ever at least consider casting Melissa Barrera in that part?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN Yeah, I mean, listen, we\u2019d work with Melissa on anything. We love Melissa. We made three movies with her, and we\u2019d make more. The whole casting process, so much of it was because we were shooting in Toronto on a small budget. So we cast local, and we got so lucky with local casting on the first one. We didn\u2019t think we\u2019d ever come close on the second one. And when we met [Toronto-based] Maia Jae, we were like, \u201cOh my God, she\u2019s perfect for this.\u201d We also were conscious of not overwhelming this movie with our stuff. Kathryn was already doing so much of that coming from Abigail. But yes, we love Melissa. There\u2019s a version, somewhere, of Melissa [in that role].<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT Yeah, our movies will always have a little bit of that meta language in it, but because Scream is so meta in its DNA, there was a little fear of, \u201cAre we speaking too much outside the world and grounded nature of Ready or Not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tKara Wooten, Shawn Hatosy, David Cronenberg, and Sarah Michelle Gellar in Ready or Not 2: Here I Come<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPief Weyman\/Searchlight Pictures<\/p>\n

\n\tYou also cast a local actor named David Cronenberg as Chester Danforth, the head of the High Council. If you had shot in Albuquerque, would his involvement probably not have happened?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN I don\u2019t think that we would\u2019ve had the opportunity. When you\u2019re making a movie at this [budget] level, local casting is so important. It\u2019s such a big part of it. And the fact that David Cronenberg is considered local casting in Toronto is a miracle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT And he\u2019s great as an actor.<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN Yeah, we can\u2019t say enough nice things about him. He was incredible to us, as well as the cast and the crew. It was our co-casting director, Jason\u2019s [Knight] idea. We were in such a tight little box of who we had the ability to cast. And he was like, \u201cOkay, it\u2019s outside the box, but David Cronenberg. It probably won\u2019t happen, but let\u2019s take that shot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLET With a big asterisk. \u201cIt\u2019s a long shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN He probably sent us that email on a Tuesday, and by Thursday, we\u2019d got the, \u201cHey, David\u2019s in. Let\u2019s go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT When he showed up for the fitting, there was all this chatter around the office. \u201cFuck, David Cronenberg is here.\u201d He\u2019s just such a legend. We\u2019re happy to report that the giant portrait of him that hangs in the Danforth Resort is now at our office, and it is truly larger than life. It is shocking to describe how big it is.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tDirectors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett on the set of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPief Weyman\/Searchlight Pictures<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mummy 4 is going to be a big leap for you guys in terms of scale. Are you as ready as you\u2019ll ever be for something on that level?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tRADIO SILENCE (In unison.) Yeah!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBETTINELLI-OLPIN We\u2019ve worked at a lot of different budget levels, and the movies always feel the same. You never have enough time and money, no matter how much time and money you have. We thrive off of those limitations. We love it because it focuses you on what matters and what\u2019s important. And with The Mummy, it is Rachel [Weisz] and Brendan [Fraser] that make that movie so special. They\u2019re why we all love it. So our working style fits really well with that because it has to be about those characters and their journey. And regardless of budget, it\u2019s got to fit into that mindset of, \u201cWhat are these characters going through, and why do we love them?\u201d And all that said, we\u2019re very excited to go shoot a big epic fucking adventure. It\u2019s always been a dream. So we\u2019re pinching ourselves that we get to do both of those things at once.<\/p>\n

\n\tGILLETT Yeah, the rubber meets the road in a really similar way on every set. You have to have great performers in front of a camera, and you have to call action. And whether it\u2019s 60 setups like we did some days on Ready or Not 2 \u2014\u00a0or seven setups in the desert, shooting sweeping vistas with Brendan and Rachel \u2014\u00a0it will feel different, but also weirdly the same. And by and large, we are ready for it.<\/p>\n
