Having domestically grossed $54 with a modest $9 million budget, The Strangers was a tremendous hit for Rogue Pictures. Of course, we all unfortunately know what follows any amount of success in Hollywood these days: sequels.

Hoping that they have a new horror franchise on their hands, producers over at the Universal Pictures subsidary have their greedy hearts set on Liv Tyler‘s return, as well as the rest of the original villains (just admit how much you loved seeing Gemma Ward as the creepy psycho girl).

The studio is also trying to secure Bryan Bertino, who wrote and directed the original. Seeing as Bertino’s current projects, Alone and Black, are Rogue films, I would find it hard to believe that he would turn down such an offer.

Production for the currently untitled sequel is set to begin next year.
