Katie Holmes to headline possessed doll sequel The Boy 2

October 24, 2018 by Matt Rodgers

You might think it was the horror sequel that nobody was screaming out for, but The Boy 2 has just found a new occupant for the Heelshire Mansion in the form of Katie Holmes.

ComingSoon reports that the Batman Begins and Logan Lucky actress will receive the baton, or boy, from Lauren Cohen (The Walking Dead, Mile 22), who starred in the hugely successful 2016 original, which grossed $60+ million from a budget of just $10 million.

William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside) will return to direct the sequel, which will be produced by STXfilms and Lakeshore Entertainment, and begin shooting in Victoria, British Columbia on January 14th next year.

Lakeshore’s Gary Lucchesi said of the horror sequel, “Following the success of The Boy, we are thrilled to be working on the next chapter of this chilling Brahms story with Stacey and William. We are also delighted to be continuing our relationship with STX, on this, our third partnership.”
More importantly, what do YOU think of the return of the porcelain faced dummy? With Annabelle 3 recently given the green light, and here’s a sentence I never thought I’d write, do you think that there are too many possessed doll flicks in production?
