If anything, Sony should be giving Fede Alvarez, Jane Levy, and Stephen Lang blank checks and all of the assistance in the world to come up with an original project that’s just as lean and mean as Don’t Breathe was.
The studio can keep the team together, but they really give their players a new field to play on.
Just as Don’t Breathe was a chance to let an original thriller flourish in a market of sequels, adaptations, and re-imagined concepts, we now have a chance to show that the traditional way isn’t always the right way.
We shouldn’t want to sympathize with The Blind Man, nor should we want to see him become a weaker copy of his former self by fighting off another group of punks who are looking for a quick score.
