Craven's Idea for 'The Hills Have Eyes 3'

Even though Fox Atomic's The Hills Have Eyes sequel didn't destroy at the box office (37m worldwide), there is already talk of a third installment in the franchise, which began once again with Alex Aja's reboot back in 2006. After a screening of The Last House on the Left this evening we chatted with Wes Craven about the Hills franchise and where it could go.

Another well known Wes Craven film that was remade was </B>The Hills Have Eyes</B> (1977), which was remade by Fox Atomic back in 2006. Three years later, there is new talk of a third film in the franchise and Craven knows exactly where he wants to take it...

“There's discussion about a possible Hills 3 and we’ll take it in a totally different direction,” while also explaining that the film will not go straight-to-disc, “I'm not interested in doing straight-to-video. If it can't make it in theaters then…"

He continues talking about his ideas for a third film in the franchise that focuses on a mutant civilization living on through the ages after being radiated by atomic tests in the nearby desert.

"There are a lot of good movies still in that concept," he explains, "you know The Outsiders and I’d like to flip it actually and have them integrated a little into our society and run into prejudice or something…because they have this ability to survive anything, maybe be recruited by the society that’s about to throw them out.”

I'd be up for another Hills movie. I liked the first 2 enough.

Shocker, Hills 3 & Stairs Talk

Last night, Rogue and Universal were kind enough to hold a reception following a screening of The Last House on the Left during which the press got to mingle with the film's cast and crew.

Wes Craven was there. As was the team at Midnight Entertainment, his production outfit. And as always the case when you smash press with producers, there was talk of upcoming projects.

There's nothing solid but what you should probably know is that the remakes of The People Under the Stairs and Shocker are very much alive and well. Both are with Universal, but there's no telling right which film will come first. It doesn't sound like The Hills Have Eyes 3 is a priority right now, so that may be a long way off. The general consensus is there are a lot of unknowns right now as to what is next, however, the recent box office draw for Friday the 13th bodes well for the future.

Addressing rumors that Craven's upcoming 25/8 might get a new title: Not true. Some additional shooting took place a few months back in Connecticut and the overall vibe I got from Craven on his latest directorial effort is that the project is turning out great. He's definitely thrilled with his cast.
