Israel Broussard and Jessica Rothe Happy Death Day 2U Interview

Israel Broussard and Jessica Rothe Happy Death Day 2U Interview

"Heeeeey, it's my birthday, and I don't gotta pick up the phone!" You can bet Tree Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) isn't too happy to hear that song again when she gets stuck in another deadly time loop in Happy Death Day 2U. Writer-director Christopher Landon returns for the surprising sequel to Blumhouse's 2017 breakout Happy Death Day, the timey-wimey slasher movie that followed the mean girl sorority sister on a journey of transformation through life and death (and back again and again and again) when she got caught in a time loop on her birthday -- the same day a masked murderer came to kill her.

For the sequel, Landon shakes everything up, explaining the source of the time loop and taking the leap from horror to sci-fi thriller, including new time loops and an alternate dimension -- a dimension that throws a new wrench in Tree's relationship with Carter (Israel Broussard). With Happy Death Day 2U now in theaters, I recently sat down for an interview with Rothe and Broussard to talk about the sequel, dropping Tree in a different genre, and rekindling their characters romance in a new way. Watch the interview in the video above and check out a list of what we talked about below.
