"The Strangers Trilogy: Ambitious Plans Unveiled for Remake and Continuation"

Director Renny Harlin and producer Courtney Solomon revealed their ambitious plans for The Strangers trilogy at New York Comic Con 2023. The films, based on the 2008 home invasion thriller, are not remakes or reboots but an extension of the franchise.
