It\u2019s been over a decade since David Robert Mitchell unleashed It Follows<\/em> on the world. And, appropriately, it\u2019s a horror film that\u2019s stayed with us ever since, with a brilliantly-conceived set-up (a sexually-transmitted death curse, with an entity that follows you relentlessly) and eerie execution from its director. For years now, we\u2019ve known that a sequel is on the way titled They Follow, with star Maika Monroe reprising her role of Jay \u2013 and as he prepares to unleash his dinosaur blockbuster The End Of Oak Street<\/em> later this summer, Mitchell has unveiled some exciting new tidbits of information for the much-anticipated next chapter.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Speaking to Empire<\/em>, the filmmaker confirmed that several of his key collaborators will be returning. \u201cMaika is back for this, and [cinematographer] Mike [Gioulakis], and the editor, Julio [C. Perez IV],\u201d he says. And there\u2019s another major comeback to be excited about: \u201cDisasterpeace will be doing a score,\u201d confirms Mitchell. The synth soundtrack to It Follows<\/em> was a significant part of its atmosphere, invoking the John Carpenter classics of the 70s and 1980s. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to do a sequel without him,\u201d says Mitchell of Disasterpeace. \u201cThat first movie is so much to do with his fantastic music, so I\u2019m excited about seeing what he does with this.\u201d The composer, aka Richard Vreeland, also wrote the score for Mitchell\u2019s mind-bending Under The Silver Lake<\/em>, with a completely different sound to the It Follows<\/em> score \u2013 so who knows what he\u2019ll cook up this time.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n As for what They Follow<\/em> involves, the filmmaker is keeping his cards close to his chest \u2013 but it\u2019s expected that the film will be shooting in the not too distant future. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of the script,\u201d Mitchell teases. \u201cIt is its own unique thing, while still being very much connected to the first film. It\u2019s doing something cool that is going to be really fun.\u201d Begin the existential dread.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read more from David Robert Mitchell in The End Of Oak Street<\/em> feature, in The Odyssey issue of Empire<\/em>.
