'The Other Side of the Door' director will head the follow-up to the 2008 horror film penned by the original's writer/director Bryan Bertino and is scheduled to begin shooting this summer.

BLOOM has taken international rights to The Strangers 2, the sequel to the 2008 horror hit starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman, which grossed over $82 million worldwide.

Indie horror director Johannes Roberts will helm the sequel while Bryan Bertino, who wrote and directed the original film, will pen the script with The Forest screenwriter Ben Ketai.

The film will be produced by The Fyzz Facility Pictures, which recently produced Martin Scorsese's Silence, in association with Relativity Media. BLOOM will be handling international sales at the European Film Market in Berlin.

The Strangers 2 follows a family whose road trip takes a turn when they arrive at a secluded mobile home park and after the power goes out they decide to hunker down for the night in a borrowed trailer. Under the cover of darkness three familiar masked psychopaths pay them a visit to test their every limit. The US-based shoot is scheduled to begin this summer.

Bloom, which introduced the project at the Berlin International Film Festival, will continue selling it in Cannes with principal photography starting May 30 in L.A.
