Emily Rudd faces gator again

After 'One Piece', Emily Rudd is now terrified of gator. The American actress is going to star in the sequel to the 2019 horror-thriller 'Crawl'. 'Scream' and 'Booksmart' fame Mason Gooding will be her co-star in Paramount's new film. And the biggest surprise is that the director of the original film, Alexander Ajayi, is returning to the director's chair.

'Crawl', released in 2019, took the audience into a terrifying situation. A father-daughter duo was trapped in a Florida house during a Category 5 hurricane. A fierce storm outside, a hungry gator inside, every moment of the fight for survival became breathtaking. The film, which had a budget of just $14 million, grossed $91.5 million worldwide. In addition to being a commercial success, it was also highly praised by horror fans.

In the sequel, that terror will now reach New York. After a powerful hurricane hits, gators will start roaming the streets and sewers of the city. And in that terrible situation, Emily Rudd and Mason Gooding will fight for survival. This means that this time the terror will not be limited to just one house; the entire city will become a hunting ground.

The film's screenplay has been written by Jason Harry Pagan, Andrew Deutschman, Aja and Gregory Levassar. Craig Flores, Sam Raimi and Aja are producing. Shooting is scheduled to begin in Hungary later this month.

Meanwhile, time is also very important in Emily Rudd's career. She gained international recognition by playing the female lead in Netflix's record-breaking live-action series 'One Pitch'. She will next be seen in Twentieth Century Studios' 'Whalefall'. The film, starring Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin, is scheduled to be released in October. In the meantime, news of a 'Crawl' sequel has come. It remains to be seen how fierce a fight Emily Rudd will put up against the storm, darkness, and hungry gators.
