Bear McCreary has confirmed that he will be returning as the composer for the upcoming slasher sequel Happy Death Day 2U. The film is written directed by Christopher Landon who previously helmed the original film and stars Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Phi Vu, Ruby Modine & Rachel Matthews who are reprising their roles from last year’s hit movie. They are joined by Suraj Sharma and Sarah Yarkin. The movie picks up where things left off after the first film when the lead characters find out that the time loop just got passed on to one of their friends and find themselves in another race against time to determine the cause. Jason Blum (Get Out, The Purge, Paranormal Activity, Insidious) is producing the project through his Blumhouse production company. McCreary’s score from the first movie is now available from Back Lot Music. Happy Death Day 2U will be released on February 14, 2019 by Universal Pictures.
McCreary’s other upcoming feature projects include Godzilla: King of the Monsters, The Professor and the Madman starring Mel Gibson & Sean Penn, I Still See You starring Bella Thorne, Welcome Home starring Aaron Paul & Emily Ratajkowski and the horror thriller Hell Fest, which is opening in theaters this weekend.
