Filmmaker Molloy is a relative newcomer to Hollywood, having received much acclaim on the commercial circuit, particularly with Apple commercials.
Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah would be responsible for directing, but had to step down due to their involvement in post-production on Batgirl. The DC movie was ultimately canceled.
Remember that the agreement between Netflix and Paramount Pictures provides for the production of Hedgehog 5 if this fourth film is a success.
Have fun watching:
Paramount originally launched the franchise in 1984, with the first film directed by Martin Brest, who gave way to Tony Scott in the sequel, released in 1987. In 1994, John Landis took over, marking the end of the trilogy.
In total, the trilogy has grossed $712 million worldwide.
