Ready for a Second Helping of "White Noise"?
by Scott Weinberg | November 18, 2005
Discuss Article
The Hollywood Reporter indicates that there will soon be another visit from the noise of the white variety. Seems that dead people never know when to shutup already, which is why we'll soon get to see "White Noise 2: The Light."

"Gold Circle Films is moving forward with "White Noise 2: The Light," a sequel to the horror hit. Rogue Pictures acquired U.S. distribution rights, while Mandate Pictures will handle foreign. "White Noise," produced by Gold Circle and distributed by Universal Pictures, grossed $57 million when it was released in January. In the sequel, scripted by Matt Venne, a man's family is murdered and he is brought back from the brink of death. The man realizes he has changed and can now identify those among the living who are about to die. When he tries to save people from their fate, he discovers there is a price to paid for interfering with the natural order of life and death."

No word yet on if Michael Keaton will be involved, whether from inside of a staticky TV or otherwise.

*Shivers*

And they wonder why less and less people are going to the movies each year?

The first was one borderline unwatchable. Count me out here.

Wait... isn't that the SAME EXACT plot for the Final Destination movies, just with a static-y TV? Jeez...

Yeah, exactly. The first one had an interesting premise and became a hit because of the shrewd marketing. The movie itself is pretty bad.

White Noise was a movie about Micheal Keaton stairing into a computer/tv screen for two hours. Please no more!

I wish they would make a movie adaptation of the Don Delillo novel of the same name. Whenever I saw the name mentioned on here I got excited, then I figured out it was going to be a shitty ghost movie.

I thought White Noise was okay. Certainly better than The Grudge or (shudder) Boogeyman. Just thought there were too many funerals in it. Michael Keaton needs to get into some better movies or on a good TV show while he's still relatively young. He's actually a very talented actor, but shit like Herby Fully Loaded doesn't help him much.

[b]Keaton not White Noise[/b]
Bring back Keaton and leave White Noise alone. I reluctantly went to the theaters to see it because everyone wanted to see it, because they remembered when Michael Keaton was cool. And the movie sucked ass. I laughed through the whole thing. At least I had fun making fun of it.

Did enough people actually see "White Noise" to make it worth the studio's while to make a sequel? I unfortunately wasted $8.00 on it, but won't be spending a penny on seeing its sequel.
