	Katrina Wilson signed on once she read that her character, the survivor of the previous film, would be killed off in the opening sequence.

	Nicole Carter was the final of the three women to sign on to the film. Her reaction was hesitant at first as she last appeared in ''[[Windows 90-Ate (universe movie)\|Windows 90-Ate]]'' (1998) and didn't understand why her character ~~would be~~ appearing now after almost 20 years. Trevino, taking a page out of the "Terminator" franchise, wanted Carter's character to be the badass ''Sarah Connor'' type —someone who survived The Motherboard all those years ago and now needs to return to help take her down once and for all. Carter, who hadn't done a horror movie since then, liked coming back as an older mentor who could defend herself from whatever The Motherboard threw at her.

			==Reception==
			The film performed moderately well with audiences, earning a 72% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and most audience members described it as "a fun ride." Critics averaged a score of 51%, saying that while the movie attempted to stay relevant, it was unsure how much longer it could keep going before becoming too stale.

	==Trivia==		==Trivia==
	* Both [[Nicole Carter]] and [[Katrina Wilson]] agreed to reprise their roles under the condition that their characters had grown from how they were last seen. [[Levi Trevino]] pitched the concept that Carter would have become a badass Sarah Connner type character, hating all machines and living off-grid. Wilson stated she thought her character wouldn't have had such a happy outcome and suffered permanent damage from the brief time connected to the machine in ''[[diePhone (universe movie)\|diePhone]] (2012)''. It was this suggestion that led to the cold open where her character walks into the phone store and detonates a bomb.		* Both [[Nicole Carter]] and [[Katrina Wilson]] agreed to reprise their roles under the condition that their characters had grown from how they were last seen.

			Knowing they wanted to continue the success of the franchise, the studio brought back [[Levi Trevino]] to help develop the film. Trevino praised the work [[Harold Keach]] did on the previous entry and asked for him to return. [[Michael J. Bayheimer]], wanting to move away from the horror genre, decided not to return as producer, leaving that duty solely to Trevino and Kerry Collins.

			Trevino had a concept for a script; however, knowing his age compared to the modern audiences that the storyline would be for, he sought out the help of [[Chandler Bingham]], a well-established genre writer in Hollywood, to flesh out the script. Together with Keach, a friend of Bingham's from their early days in Hollywood, they collaborated on the script and completed a draft by early 2014, which Trevino and the studio both approved.
