‘Stream 2: Sudden Death’ Official Title; Original Art the Clown Joins Cast! [Exclusive]

We’ve got a triple threat of an announcement regarding Michael Leavy‘s Stream sequel, which is set to go into production this year.

First, the film’s official title is Stream 2: Sudden Death, and we also have the title treatment and tagline: “More blood… more points.”

“We are thrilled to unveil the official title of the sequel to Stream, which is Stream 2: Sudden Death,” says Leavy. “The name not only embraces the film’s gaming DNA, but also captures the horror roots that are so essential to its unique blended vibe.

“With Stream 2: Sudden Death, we’re raising the stakes and pushing into the next round — leveling up in every sense. This is shaping up to be a wild, reckless slasher, and we can’t wait to unleash it on the world. It promises to be not only an incredibly fun experience, but also a fast-paced, high-octane thrill ride!”

In fun casting news, DREAD CENTRAL can exclusively report that Mike Giannelli, the original Art the Clown from All Hallows Eve, is coming out of retirement for Stream 2: Sudden Death.

He joins the previously announced cast of David Howard Thornton (Art the Clown), Damian Maffei, and Leavy, who will also be appearing.

This will be the first time that both Mike and David, who have portrayed Art the Clown, appear on screen together in the same film.

“Bringing Mike Giannelli back to the screen and into the mix stays true to the franchise’s signature energy and reinforces what made the first film so special to fans,” adds Leavy. “Having the original performer behind Damien Leone’s creation of Art the Clown sharing the screen with the actor who later defined the role is a rare and exciting moment — one we’re honored to bring to our fanbase.”

Brian “Q” Quinn of Impractical Jokers penned the sequel’s script with Joe Imburgio.

Stream 2 will further tug on the thread that was revealed in Stream and unravel the dark web surrounding a twisted game of life and death.
