This
past Saturday, I attended a special horror brunch for Fox Atomic’s
The Hills
Have Eyes 2 a la Craven and company as part of the NY Comic Con.
In
addition to being treated to some exclusive footage from the upcoming Hills 2,
my one-on-one with the horror director-producer-writer produced these news-bits:
Hills 2 will be much more
bloody, gruesome and disgusting.
If the second one does as
well as expected, it’s possible that a Hills 3 will follow.
I asked about the remake of
The Last House on the Left to which he could not give me a straight answer
for. He said that although the project is slated for a remake, he has not
yet started to work on it. It will happen somewhere down the line but no
other specifics were available.
I did ask about the
possibility of a return to Nightmare on Elm Street to which he said he
hadn’t really heard anything about but wouldn’t be surprised if the studio
were contemplating it without having yet approached him. He said he would
consider another Elm Street if they asked him to do a follow up.
In terms of SCREAM 4, the
renowned director said that he was actually open to the idea now, but that
it would all depend on the script.-
In terms
of any future horror movies, he said that he was going to be writing an
original screenplay for Rogue Pictures, but no other info was given.”
SCREAM 4 feasible?
As for the
exclusive footage; the first one was a
lengthy disgusting, bloody but very impressive graphic human/mutant baby
birthing scene. The rest were clips of the national guards fighting the vicious
mutant freaks in their caves and underground hiding places in the desert where
the Carters were trapped the last time.
Co-written
by Wes Craven and son Jonathan Craven, the disturbing sequel is expected to be
released on March 23rd of this year. Stay tuned for my entire
one-on-one with Wes Craven, as well as some Q&As with Jonathan Craven, Jessica
Stroup and Daniella Alonso.
