“I think this project is an ‘American Horror Story’ style approach of telling stories that have no direct connection to each other. But I don’t intend to bring the same cast into different roles. I prefer to stay consistent with this idea. I don’t plan to bring in anyone from the previous film, it would depress me.”
He continued:
“I think it works on ‘AHS,’ but I feel like I’d exploit the cast if we did. If I learned anything from that experience, it’s a matter of patience and perseverance. when it comes to finding the perfect cast.
So, are you curious to find out what’s next?
As of now, there’s still no news on the plot, cast, or premiere date.
As the project is in its early stages, updates should be released over the next few months.
