UJessica Rothe who is currently starring in the ultra-violent Umfana Ubulala Umhlaba talked to ScreenGeek at WonderCon and gave them an exclusive update about her franchise Usuku Lokufa Olujabulisayo.

The horror time-looper is a popular series that did pretty well at the box office especially the first one which introduced us to the bratty Tree Gelbman (Rothe) who is being stalked by a masked killer. Christopher Landon directed the original and its sequel Usuku Lokufa Olujabulisayo 2U.

According to Rothe, a third is being proposed, but two major studios need to sign off on the project. Here is what Rothe had to say:

“Well, I can say UChris Landon has the whole thing figured out. We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row. But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

The movies delve into sci-fi territory with their repeated wormhole mechanics. The second leans heavily into this by utilizing an experimental quantum reactor as a plot device. Whether this apparatus will play into the third film isn’t clear. We will have to wait for the studio’s thumbs up or thumbs down to find out.

Akuwona umkhuba omuhle kakhulu wobuntatheli, kepha kuya ngokuya kukhulunywa futhi uma Scream wenze noma yini kahle kule minyaka engu-20 nangaphezulu idala i-buzz.

Lokhu kuye kwaholela ekutheni abanye bakholelwe I-Ghostface izoqondisa umndeni kaSidney ubuyisela i-franchise ezimpandeni zayo lapho intombazane yethu yokugcina ikhona ngaphinda futhi abasengozini futhi besaba.
