Alan Wake 2director Sam Lake is really keen on the idea of seeing the highly anticipated horror movie Longlegs but can’t find information about when it comes out in his home country of Finland.
If you haven’t been thoroughly crept out by themarketing campaignandtrailers for Longlegs, starring a terrifying Nicolas Cage as the titular and elusive serial killer, then the movie itself is likely to do so when it releases on July 12.The movie has been hailed as “the scariest film of the decade” and debuted to critics with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
The director of Alan Wake 2, Sam Lake, took notice and replied. Unfortunately, Lake lives in Finland where the release timing of Longlegs hasn’t been made clear.
“I’m very much looking forward to seeing Longlegs,” Lake said. “I love everything I have heard/seen so far. But I can’t find any info on when it’s going to be out here in Finland.”
I have yet to have the fortune of seeing Longlegs, but I definitely can see how its plot and themes would strike a chord with fans of Alan Wake and of course Lake himself. It’s a shame the movie’s international release plans aren’t publicly known, but here’s hoping Lake will be able to see it in theaters before long.
Longlegs star Maika Monroe recently teased a “very unexpected and super interesting” sequel to the hit horror It Follows.
