Rogue Pictures is set to develop a sequel to Bryan Bertino’s horror thriller “The Strangers,” according to Variety.

Produced on a budget of roughly $9 million, the film opened in May and generated $54 million domestically. Liz Tyler and Scott Speedman starred as a couple terrorized by three mysterious attackers.

Bertino is expected to write the follow-up, although it’s not clear whether he’ll return to direct. The plot of the sequel will likely involve Liv Tyler and some of the first film’s villains.

Currently, Bertino is working on “Black,” which at this stage is described as a thriller with supernatural elements. He is also writing “Alone,” a thriller that has already been in development at Rogue for quite a while.

Although I pretty much enjoyed “The Strangers,” I really hate the idea of Rogue trying to launch another horror franchise à la “Saw.”
