Overview
- Thorne said Friday on the Call Her Daddy podcast that producers watched an early cut of her film Color Your Hurt, asked her to write material and then offered her the jobs of writer, director and star, which she accepted.
- The sequel’s principal cast was announced in May 2025 and includes Grace Van Dien, Ariel Martin and True Whitaker, while previously announced director Matthew Bright is no longer attached.
- Some original producers, including Muse Productions’ Chris Hanley and Jordan Gertner, remain involved even though Harmony Korine has publicly said he has no interest in participating.
- Thorne frames the film as very energetic and party-forward compared with the 2012 movie, and she completed production on Color Your Hurt as her directorial debut before being tapped for the sequel.
- Key details such as final financing, studio distribution, a completed script and firm release dates have not been confirmed so the project’s next steps and public reaction are likely to shape how the sequel proceeds.
