Paramount has won the rights to a new feature film set in the universe of Longlegs, Deadline has learned.
Cage will star in and produce the follow-up film. Osgood Perkins, who wrote and directed the original film starring Cage, Maika Monroe, Alicia Witt, Kiernan Shipka, Blair Underwood and more, will pen the script, direct, and produce.
The film’s producers are Brian Kavanaugh Jones of Range Media Partners; Perkins and Chris Ferguson, through their company Phobos; and Dave Caplan under his C2 banner, which originated the rights to the property.
Details are being kept under wraps, but the feature will be set in the same universe as the original. The first film delivered the best original horror opening year-to-date when it hit theaters in July 2024. It also marked the best-ever start for a Neon film at $22.6M.
