Johnny will return for more bloodletting in In a Violent Nature 2, and Variety<\/a> debuted the first image of the vengeful, masked killer.<\/p>\n

In the slasher sequel, Johnny heads to a summer camp, where he crosses paths with a young, outcast camper who is forced to spend the night with his counselor sister and her friends at their annual end-of-season party.<\/p>\n

In a Violent Nature first assistant director Nathaniel Wilson steps into the director\u2019s chair for the followup.<\/p>\n

Original director Chris Nash returns to write the script in addition to producing alongside Peter Kuplowsky, Shannon Hanmer, and Michael James Regan.<\/p>\n

Ry Barrett reprises his role as Johnny, joined by Lucas Nguyen, Olivia Scriven (Blood Quantum), Laurie Babin (Red Rooms), Fionn Laird (\u201cThe Institute\u201d), Donald MacLean Jr. (The Craft: Legacy), and Evan Marsh (Shazam).<\/p>\n

International sales banner Charades has boarded the project for a big market push at the European Film Market in Berlin this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a Violent Nature 2 is a first feature, driven by a new vision, with more kills, more blood, hopefully even more iconic,\u201d commented Charades\u2019 co-founders Carole Baraton, Pierre Mazars, and Yohann Comte.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this sequel, fans can expect an exponential increase of the ol\u2019 ultraviolence with a distinct hook, but one that still collides with storied slasher traditions,\u201d Kuplowsky added.<\/p>\n

In the first In a Violent Nature, the undead Johnny embarks on a bloody rampage after a group of teens steal a golden locket that awakens his spirit.<\/p>\n
