Horror hit The Strangers looks to be a fledging franchise, as plans of a sequel have been announced according to Variety. Budgeted at $9 million, the film grossed $54 million domestically, and is being released here and the UK this Friday. Liv Tyler is expected to return in what the producers will hope will be a new set of profitable films ala Scream or (god save us) Saw. Funders 'Rogue' have yet to confirm if original writer/director Bryan Bertino will return to helm, but he is definitely penning the script, having recently signed a three picture deal with the Universal genre arm.
