Ari Aster has directed three films since his breakout horror, Hereditary, in 2018. And while Midsommar, Beau is Afraid, and his pandemic political thriller Eddington all have their fans, people still want more of what is still considered his best film. Well, Aster has revealed that he’s written a Hereditary prequel, but is unsure it will ever get made.
Aster revealed the news during a Q&A at The American Cinematheque, stating that the timing never feels quite right…
“I wrote a prequel to this,” Aster said. “It never feels like the right time. It’s a prequel, not a sequel, so I don’t know where this goes.”
Hereditary was a huge hit for A24, earning $90M at the box office. It’s by far Aster’s most successful film, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him return to it. That said, he’s already lined up his next project, Scapegoat, with Scarlett Johansson set to star. So if he does plan a return, it’ll have to be some time after that. [GoldDerby]
