Solomon comments in a statement to the media (via Bloody Disgusting):
“When we set out to redo The Strangerswe felt like there was a bigger story to tell, one that could be just as powerful and chilling and terrifying as the original and could really expand that world.. Shooting this story as a trilogy allows us to create a hyper-real and terrifying character study. We are fortunate to join forces with Madelaine Petsch, an incredible talent whose character is the driving force of this story.”
Canton adds:
“When you have two horror fans like Courtney Solomon and Renny Harlin getting together, you have everything you need to create incredibly smart, edge-of-your-seat, addictively exciting entertainment. Fans of the original movie will be in awe; new audiences will discover the intensely puzzling world of The Strangers”.
Principal Harlin said:
“My mother instilled in me a love of movies through the world of Hitchcock and other masters of suspense and horror. My jump to Hollywood happened with the success of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4. It stands to reason that I can return to my favorite genre with the incredibly well-written The Strangers trilogy. The characters and story are grounded in reality and provide me with an endless tapestry of haunting imagery to bring these films to life.”
In addition to directing A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988), Harlin has directed other horror titles such as Prison (1987), Deep Blue Sea (1999), Exorcist: The Beginning (2004), The Covenant (2006), y Devil’s Pass (2013).
