Ari Aster, known for his successful horror film ‘Hereditary’, has disclosed that he has written a prequel to the movie but currently has no plans to develop it. During a Q&A session at the American Cinematheque’s Bleak Week, Aster expressed uncertainty about the timing for the prequel, stating, “It never feels like the right time.” Released in 2018, ‘Hereditary’ became a landmark film for A24, grossing over $90 million worldwide. The film explores the dark and disturbing events that unfold within a grieving family. While Aster is not pursuing the prequel, he is actively working on a new project titled ‘Scapegoat’, which will feature Scarlett Johansson and is expected to be released by A24. Additionally, Aster's production company, Square Peg, is reviving its mentorship initiative, Square Peg Social, with the next edition scheduled for September 17-21 in Austin, Texas. This program aims to support emerging filmmakers and foster new talent in the industry.
