The director further added, “John’s voice is iconic in the opening of the film and we believed it would be a great way to set the tone for our intro. Also, it’s a subdued method to inform the audience that they’re in safe in good hands”.
We are thrilled to present his new ideas for the series , described as a direct sequel to the first film created by Tobe Hooper. Garcia stated, “I can’t wait for viewers to look over and discover every callback and some of them aren’t necessarily planned. I’m pretty sure that something has happened, and it’s a bit bizarre”.
