To give the fans what they wanted, but also what they NEED. “It was really hard to revisit this world,” said Brind. There’s also a new star, Adam Hagenbuch ( Fuller House). And of course, they get back in the pool…” And when Ben and Johnny meet for the first time since high school, they talk about it all. “And he’s no longer the arrogant bad boy of high school hallways.
“Johnny isn’t 17 either,” Brind continued. A real and constant struggle for LGBTQ people, especially in the age of Grindr (which is in the new film) and Instagram ‘influencers’ aka hot guys in underwear.” But he’s still been unable to find intimacy in a real way. Of the sequel, Brind added, “Ben isn’t 17 anymore. And that’s more worthwhile than any Netflix or HBO deal could ever bring me.” He wrote to tell me that he watches DARE over and over when he’s feeling like he doesn’t want to live. Like Jack from a small village in Ireland. “Our legions of fans-13.5M views on YouTube while being suppressed from search by them, but that’s another story-demanded a sequel. “15 years later, I decided to revisit this world with THE DARE PROJECT,” Brind added. And yes, a bit of sadness.”īrind said that after understanding the fan base that the original DARE had developed over the years, he decided to try and continue the story he had begun. That even if it ended here with ‘Johnny,’ something else unexpected would arise. But because for the first time in my life, I believed that connection with someone I desired was possible. Not because I was fetishizing the straight guy-though that’s a real thing. I was the star, he was in the chorus because he got kicked off soccer for smoking.
“I was a closeted (sort of?) popular kid.
