Becky’s back for more revenge! Quiver Distributuon has announced that The Sacrifice Game’s Jenn Wexler will be helming a third film in the teenage revenge franchise, with Lulu Wilson back in the titular role in The Last Temptation of Becky, which just wrapped production in Northern Ireland.
The news of a new Becky film arrives three years after the release of The Wrath of Becky, directed by Susanne Coote and Matt Angel. Wexler directs the new installment from a script by Angel (originally from a story by he and Coote), with Wilson and scream queen Kate Siegel reprising their roles alongside newcomers Neil Patrick Harris, Brandon Flynn, and James Urbaniak. The Last Temptation of Becky’s synopsis is as follows:
Now working as a field agent for the CIA, Becky (Lulu Wilson) is sent undercover to Poland to infiltrate a family of innkeepers who are running a tourist venture at The Wolf’s Lair, Hitler’s WWII bunker. After learning that the father, Wilhelm Reuss (Neil Patrick Harris), is on a mission to bring about the Fourth Reich, Becky takes matters into her own hands.
“As a huge fan of the first two films,” Wexler said, “I am so incredibly excited to be a part of the Becky universe and to help carry its legacy forward. Long live Becky!”
The Last Temptation of Becky is produced by Russ Pasternak, Larry Greenberg, Paul Kennedy, Aiden Hand, Jordan Yale Levine, and Jordan Beckerman. Wilson and Harris serve as executive producers, alongside Louis Winters, Nick Morris, Joe and Mike Huguenot, Kevin and Brian Debold, Nicholas Emanuel, Aaron Dalla Villa, and Carl Moellenberg.
“After the incredible audience response to the first two Becky films, we are thrilled to have Lulu Wilson step back into this character that was made just for her” said Quiver’s Berry Meyerowitz and Jeff Sackman. “Having Neil Patrick Harris facing off against Lulu Wilson will take this series to a whole new level, and we can’t wait for audiences to see what Becky has in store for anyone who dares get in her way.”
The Last Temptation of Becky hits theaters this summer. Stay tuned to FANGORIA for more updates.
