Eric posted earlier that Greg McLean’s ROGUE has been pushed back from October 12th to an undetermined date, which is just another item to add to the growing list of releasing mayhem that this film has gone through.
It may not seem like there is a market for croc movies because PRIMEVAL opened to empty theaters and still sits in bundles on DVD racks. Thus causing the potential death of what might have been a great sophmore release for Greg McLean.
Shock Till You Drop got an exclusive interview with McLean, which talks about the film amongst other things.
ShockTillYouDrop.com: “Rogue” is a script you penned before “Wolf Creek,” why did you decide to the revisit the property? Obviously the success of “Wolf Creek” helped propel it into production easier, no?
Greg McLean: “Rogue” was written twelve years ago, it was one of the first scripts that I wrote and it was always designed to be a classical, old-fashioned monster movie. I really wanted to blend the really realistic FX, genuine suspense and real characters. Not popcorn, cheesy horror film characters, but something that was closer to the mold of “Alien” and “Jaws.” I tried to set it up back then, years ago, and it got set up by this company and they kicked me off the film. It was a huge disaster, but it was a rite of passage for me in getting it made. “Wolf Creek” came along and it allowed me to go back to “Rogue” and make the film I wanted to make. I changed the script a bit and got it ready to make.
