Cult horror movie Circle is getting a surprise sequel.
Over the hour and a half that follows, they quiz one another on their lives as they chillingly try to decide who deserves to live, but as their numbers get down to single figures, tension rise as they realize only one of them can wind up walking away.
Julie Benz, who had previously appeared in Dexter, Desperate Housewives, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was undoubtedly the biggest name on the cast list, which also featured lesser-known actors Michael Nardelli, Carter Jenkins, Lawrence Kao, and Allegra Masters.
“It’s obviously meant to entertain, but CIRCLE also opens up a dialogue about a lot of the issues we’re talking about (or, should be talking about) these days: race, class, immigration, gender, sexuality, ageism, etc,“Nardelli shared upon its digital release. “It’s a weird movie that not everyone is gonna love, but I’m proud we all took a risk and made something different and unique, with hopefully at least a few shades of originality to it.”
According toVariety, the follow-up, which is officially titled Circles and is set to kick off production later this year, will take place 17 years after the events of the original. “After being pawns in a cruel game of psychological warfare, the survivors of an invasion face a new threat,” the synopsis reads.
