Filming wrapped last year on Don’t Breathe 2, a sequel to Fede Alvarez’s home invasion film that was directed by Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe co-writer Rodo Sayagues. Stephen Lang will be back as the “Blind Man,” who survived the events of the 2016 movie.
Lang has recently teased that the sequel is a much different movie than the first one, with his “Blind Man” being found in a whole new situation. Speaking with Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast this week, Lang touches upon his approach to getting back into the role for the sequel, which gave him more time to be able to fully embody the character.
“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 explains. “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.”
“But,” Lang continues, “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.”
“Becoming the Blind Man again… with full confidence this time,” Lang adds.
You can listen to the Boo Crew’s full interview with Stephen Lang below.
In Don’t Breathe 2, the Blind Man has been hiding out for years in an isolated cabin and has taken in and raised a young girl orphaned from a house fire.
Their quiet existence is shattered when a group of kidnappers show up and take the girl, forcing the Blind Man to leave his safe haven to save her.
