“John Tucker Must Die” Sequel In Development
It’s been nearly twenty years since 20th Century Fox released the comedy film, “John Tucker Must Die”, which is about some womanizing teenager’s ex-girlfriends, who set him up to fall in love with a girl. Together, they seek revenge and want to see him go through the pain of a breakup.
The film starred Jesse Metcalfe, Sophia Bush and Arielle Kebbel, who over the weekend, took part in a reunion panel at the Epic Cons Chicago event and Jesse Metcalfe revealed that there has been some work done on a sequel.
“I’ve heard rumors of this script — there’s a script. Apparently it’s amazing. I’d definitely love to be a part of it.”
Jesse also confirmed that he hasn’t seen the screenplay of the sequel himself but “can’t wait to read it.”
Arielle Kebbel also added that she had a hand in creating the new script and that it “does involve all of the OG cast.” She also explained to the crowd that Metcalfe’s character “may or may not get a chance to change” his ways, “which would be very exciting”.
The original film was released in cinemas in 2006 and went on to make $68 million worldwide, but on a budget of $18 million, so if the sequel could keep its costs down, 20th Century Studios might be able to make money on the film, with a theatrical release, rather than a straight to streaming release.
It’s important to note that Disney hasn’t confirmed a sequel to “John Tucker Must Die” is happening, and just because there is a script doesn’t mean it’s actually going to be made.
“John Tucker Must Die” is available to stream now on Disney+ in many countries including Australia, Canada and the UK.
