Don’t Breathe 2 Gets New Poster

With the release of Don’t Breathe 2 and the continued adventures of the terrifying “Blind Man” landing in theaters in just over a month, an all-new poster for the unsettling sequel has arrived, which you can check out below. Given that the original 2016 outing featured some truly shocking reveals within its narrative, entirely changing the way audiences perceived Stephen Lang‘s character, we’re sure that the follow-up film will similarly offer audiences a number of unexpected reveals. Check out the all-new poster for the upcoming film below before Don’t Breathe 2 is finally unleashed exclusively in theaters on August 13th.

In the original film, three teens aim to exploit a blind man who lives in the neighborhood by breaking into his house to steal from a safe. Once inside, these thieves get more than they bargained for as they discover the man (Stephen Lang) is far more accustomed to navigating his own home in the darkness, making the burglars the ones who should be fearful.

This follow-up film was previously described, “In the years following the deadly home invasion, the Blind Man lives in quiet solace until his past sins catch up to him.”

The nature of the concept means that Lang had to feign the lack of sight, with the actor previously revealing that the years in between the productions allowed him to more authentically convey such an experience.

“The first time out, you just plunge in, cause what do I know? I went at it the best way I could. I figured out a way to go at it,” Lang explained to Bloody Disgusting‘s The Boo Crew podcast. “And I’ve been able to expand on that in the second one. This time, I really felt I had the proper time to really prepare. I really only had just a little over a month [to prepare for the first one]. I just did it. And it worked. It worked out good.”

He continued, “Doing the sequel, I felt a real obligation to really, really work more specifically on the blindness, cause I had the time to do it. And so I hooked up with this amazing organization, The Northeastern Association for the Blind, which is located in Albany. And I began working with their director of orientation and movement. The second script was … it’s a different deal. And so I just needed to do that preparation there. When you’re working on the mechanics of a role, it’s tangible. I really, really enjoyed preparing for this role.”

Don’t Breathe 2 hits theaters on August 13th.
