A recent April Fools’ Day prank may potentially lead to a long-awaited sequel to the 2014 thriller The Guest.
During April Fools’ Day in 2022, director Adam Wingard — who helmed the 2014 thriller before moving on to bigger franchises, including directing last year’s Godzilla vs. Kong — released a soundtrack to The Guest II, a film that doesn’t exist.
When it originally opened, The Guest didn’t receive a warm welcome, earning just under $3 million total in the box office despite a positive response from critics and fans.
However, due to the original The Guest‘s cult classic status, as well as the love of the original soundtrack, the April Fools’ Day prank was received incredibly well, and even potentially opened the door to a new film being made.
