Lang and Levy return for Don’t Breathe 3
The Blind Man’s Legacy: Don’t Breathe Gears Up for a Franchise Reboot
The chilling world of home invasion and terrifying entrapment is poised for a return, as filmmaker Fede Alvarez has officially confirmed that a third installment in the Don’t Breathe franchise is in development.
This exciting development was announced during a recent 10-year anniversary screening of the original film at the Beyond Fest event in Santa Monica. The celebration drew a star-studded cast for the Q&A, including Alvarez, co-writer Rodo Sayagues, and the original stars, Jane Levy and Stephen Lang, giving fans a taste of what’s next.
More than just a sequel, the news carries significant weight. Alvarez confirmed that not only is a third entry on the horizon, but the creative groundwork has already been laid. A new script has been written, and the dynamic duo of Levy and Lang are set to make a dramatic return to the spotlight.
The original 2016 film captivated audiences, following three young burglars who thought they had found an easy score breaking into a blind veteran’s Detroit home. Instead, they encountered a man whose hidden capabilities and secrets proved far more terrifying than any they could have imagined.
The success of the first film—grossing over $157 million worldwide from a modest $10 million budget—proved that the tension between the protagonists and their terrifying captor resonated deeply with audiences. While the 2021 sequel focused on Stephen Lang’s character and featured Rodo Sayagues as director, fans were eager to see the story evolve.
The upcoming third film promises to settle long-standing scores, bringing Jane Levy and Stephen Lang’s characters back together for a reckoning within the confines of their dangerous environment.
In a related cinematic announcement, Jane Levy is gearing up for her next project, starring alongside Jessica Rothe in Joshua Giuliano’s slasher film River, which is scheduled to open in cinemas on January 15th.
