The Wrath of Becky is coming from new creatives, but keeping the same bloody bite. Set two years after its well-received predecessor, the sequel sees the eponymous teenager finally finding a semblance of peace and a new home, only for a fascist group known as the "Noble Men" to tear it apart and kidnap her dog, putting her on a violent new path.
Matt Angel & Suzanne Coote on The Wrath of Becky Screen Rant: I am a big fan of The Wrath of Becky. I loved the first film, and I almost think this one blows the first out of the water. Was there any apprehension on both of your parts when you were approached to take over this world? One of the things that I love is the way that it connects the films with that comic book-style opening credit sequence explaining where she's been the past few years. Where did the idea for that come about, and how did you go about putting that together?
Suzanne Coote: We had an amazing artist, Micah Brenner, who we'd say, "This is the scenario, we want Becky stealing dog food from a pet store. I love that you mentioned Kick-Ass, because my mind went to Mark Millar and all of his work. We get Lulu back, but we get her now pitted against Seann William Scott, and just blows us all away with how menacing he is.
Matt Angel: Yeah, we were very much fans of the intellectual, calculated, quiet threat to this character, as opposed to what could have been could have been larger and a little too caricaturish. From that moment on, it really felt like we had done our job of defining who this guy is. He showed up on his first day on set, and that was his first thing. To get to be in that scene with him was also just such a pleasure, because it was so fun to be the person sitting opposite him in that moment. To try and stay in the moment as a character, while simultaneously being in [my] director's head like, "This is so f----ng great.
Suzanne Coote: Also, we don't have time — I say this often, it was like shooting a play, because we don't have, time especially with blood, to go, "Okay, we gotta do a second take, but Lulu has to go get all that blood off of her so we can do it again." We had one option for that scene, so everyone has to bring their A-game. We have to hope that the blood sprays in the right way, which is crazy, and you can always count on Lulu Wilson to bring her A-game.
