| - Jackson and Gilmore.At S89 Expo, Jackson and Gilmore confirmed the possibility of at least two more sequels, each based on a genre of film. Jackson commented they were searching for ideas for the sequel, but they were thinking around the idea of "a alien movie", but a movie that moved away from the classic "flying saucer" aspect of aliens. Of the films, Raising the Past was supposed to be the "classic science-fiction story" of the four films, with House of Horrors being the "gothic horror", being the "monster film" and Dragonhunters being the "fantasy film".

| - Jackson and Gilmore.At S89 Expo, Jackson and Gilmore confirmed the possibility of at least two more sequels, each based on a genre of film. Jackson commented they were searching for ideas for the sequel, but they were thinking around the idea of "a alien movie", but a movie that moved away from the classic "flying saucer" aspect of aliens. Of the films, Raising the Past was supposed to be the "classic science-fiction story" of the four films, with House of Horrors being the "gothic horror", being the "monster film" and Dragonhunters being the "fantasy film". In June 2012, Nathan Jackson gave details about the film's plot: "The film's sort of a science-fiction story, set in Antarctica. It's about Homer accepting a posting to Antarctica and the Simpsons end up in this base, where a chain of events leads to them encountering these two warring factions of aliens, which both have their own plans for Earth..." One of Jackson and Gilmore's intentions was to explore what aliens represent in film. Nathan Jackson said: "It's time to do a movie where you get to see what would really happen if aliens landed on Earth; if we encountered aliens." Influences included Stargate, Chariots of the Gods and the works of H.P.Lovecraft. At the S89 Expo it was announced that Toby Kebbell (who voiced Redcap), Steve Zahn and Christoph Waltz had joined the cast of the film.[17] The decision to set the film in Antarctica came about because "House of Horrors worked because it was set in a very restricted location; so we needed to get that, but on a much grander scale. If you set it in Antarctica, which is pretty much as isolated as you can get, it gives that restricted feel". In June 2015, it was announced that there had been major cast and script revisions. It was revealed that Steve Zahn had been replaced by Chris Pratt, and Toby Kebbell had been replaced by Benedict Cumberbatch, (Kebbell would be recast in a smaller role and Zahn would later be cast in Dragonhunters). Stephen Fry and Bryce Dallas Howard were also announced to voice unspecified characters. On the cast revisions, Jackson explained ""There was a delay, because we felt we needed to change the script, really, it was really about the themes of the film, so that we could push the ideas we were trying to infer. Then everything else, all the other characters that supported that story came in and out and changed and evolved and through that evolution, some of those performers changed out of it."
