Director Scott Derrickson’s Joe Hill adaptation The Black Phone was a hit in theaters last year, so it comes as no big surprise that The Black Phone 2 has officially been confirmed.
Universal and Blumhouse will release The Black Phone 2 on June 27, 2025!
No word yet on whether or not Derrickson will return to direct. Stay tuned.
Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke (Sinister, Boyhood, Training Day), in the most disturbing role of his career, starred in the suspenseful thriller The Black Phone, which is based on the short story by Joe Hill (“Locke & Key,” Horns). The film came from Blumhouse and director Scott Derrickson, who brought us Sinister and Doctor Strange. From producer Jason Blum (The Invisible Man, Get Out, Split), and written by Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill (Sinister, Dr. Strange) with Derrickson directing, The Black Phone stars Ethan Hawke, Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan, The House That Jack Built, Lost), James Ransone (It Chapter Two, Generation Kill), Mason Thames (For All Mankind, Walker) and Madeleine McGraw (Secrets of Sulpher Springs, A Christmas Wish). In the film, Finney (Thames), a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer (Hawke) and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use.
When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney. The film was produced by Derrickson & Cargill’s Crooked Highway and presented by Universal and Blumhouse.
Meagan wrote in her review of The Black Phone for Bloody Disgusting, “Derrickson and Cargill revive the same traits and structure of Sinister to transform Joe Hill’s short into a feature-length nightmare full of ghostly kids, violence, and a trio of unforgettable performances.”
The Black Phone scared up $161 million at the worldwide box office last year.
