With Ready or Not 2 opening to an $11m weekend gross there’s talk of a third film but before that co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett having been talking about s couple of the Ready or Not 2 deaths one of which they ended up not filming.
Those Ready or Not 2 deaths – SPOILER
The unseen death is that of Martina Rajan (Maša Lizdek) that is ever seen and leaves audiences in the dark. In the film her cowardly husband, Madhu (Varun Saranga), opts out of taking part in the game and instead volunteers his wife to play the deadly game of hide and seek. But instead of playing she quickly drives away to freedom. But does she? Because she agreed to play by signing on the dotted line, Mr. Le Bail took her life off screen as well and the directors almost shot what would be a mid-credit scene that saw her offed.
The directors explained, “We talked about shooting an end tag where Grace and Faith are still walking on that long road out of the resort. Then they walk by Martina’s crashed car on the side of the road, and it would be filled with splatter and blood,” Gillett shares. “Of course, at the end of the game, her name is on the contract in that book, so she also explodes.”
Those other Ready or Not 2 deaths
But then what about Ursula’s (Sarah Michelle Gellar) death at the hands of her on-screen brother Titus (Shawn Hatosy)?
Oplin laughed, ‘It’s (screenwriter) Guy Busick’s fault.’
But Gillett went on to explain: ‘It was actually one of our ideas that was pitched. When it became a sister story, we also knew that the ensemble had another very important sibling pair in Titus and Ursula. We loved that the two of those relationships could be foils and mirrors of each other. As Grace and Faith are coming together, Titus and Ursula are moving in opposite directions, and we really loved the reverse symmetry of that. It was a really interesting thing to play with, and in a lot of ways, that structure helped us design the evolution or de-evolution of those characters. In prep, we were still doing rewrites and getting ready to shoot, and it just felt like we were missing another move. That sibling relationship, once we’d started to really calibrate them as a foil to Grace and Faith, we needed some form of a conclusion with the two of them that felt like it was going to accelerate us into the end of the movie. We really needed to turn the dial up on the doom and the sense of fucking hopelessness as you’re entering the third act. And what a better way than for this character who was under the thumb of his dad — and then oddly under the thumb of his sister — to finally free himself of all of it in the worst, most terrifying way. Titus is illustrating to Grace, “Nope, this is what you’re marrying into. You thought that you were going to survive, but I’ve basically taken your soul with this proposition.”
