They Follow – Maika Monroe Returns to the Nightmare of It Follows
A particularly significant element also concerns the visual department
The return of It Follows aims to expand the scope of the story without losing the characteristics that made David Robert Mitchell's horror film famous. This was confirmed by Maika Monroe, protagonist of the first film and once again involved in They Follow, a sequel still shrouded in considerable secrecy.
Interviewed by People, the actress explained that the new chapter will have a larger scale than the previous one, while maintaining a precise link with the original atmosphere. “It’s definitely going to be on a much bigger scale, but I think it’s going to stay very true to the roots of the first film,” the young actress said.
Visual style confirmed by the return of Mike Gioulakis
A particularly significant element concerns the visual department. Mike Gioulakis, cinematographer of It Follows, will return behind the camera to preserve the aesthetic identity that helped define the 2014 film. Monroe expressed confidence regarding audience expectations, emphasizing how the visual choices of the first episode will find continuity in the sequel.
David Robert Mitchell will once again direct, while the cast will welcome new presences such as Justine Lupe, Michael Gandolfini, Jackie Earle Haley, and Naomi Ackie. A release date has not yet been announced.
