'Hatchet 2' Teaser Poster, Sequel Update!
Sunday, January 18, 2009

By: MrDisgusting

This morning B-D reader 'Kevin F. sent us an e-mail with a link to a supposed teaser poster for Hatchet 2, which has been on Anchor Bay's to-do list for quite some time. This afternoon we got in touch with Director Adam Green who comments on the one sheet, while also updating us on the status of Victor Crowley's big return.

We checked in with HATCHET director Adam Green who commented on the poster that was sent to us by B-D reader 'Kevin F.' and also updates on on the status of HATCHET 2.

"The teaser poster is legit, but is something we've had on our ArieScope site and MySpace pages for a month or more now," Green tells us. "HATCHET is Anchor Bay's highest selling original title of all time at this point and the sequel is definitely going to happen without a doubt."

The sequel has been in talks for quite some time now, Green explains what's going on with it now and also comments on whether or not he'll return to direct.

"Hopefully it gets made this year if we can schedule it in a way that works for me. The only reason a production date has not been agreed upon is because clearly everyone in the HATCHET camp wants to do it at a time when I can be the one to return at the helm, and as you can see from the multitude of projects I am already doing (GRACE, his script for D.C.'s animated AQUAMAN film, FROZEN, GOD ONLY KNOWS, and a TV pilot he's creating for Nickelodeon with Jack Black's company Electric Dynamite), it's going to take some very careful planning and scheduling to find a time where I am available to make the film."

"Contractually, I can't commit to HATCHET 2 right at this moment and it is all because of scheduling, but ArieScope Pictures (his company) and Anchor Bay are hard at work figuring it out," Green continues. "Should we all decide that the film cannot wait any longer - I will pass the torch to a different writer/director for HATCHET 2, but nobody involved wants to even discuss that scenario just yet."

Green also talks about how HATCHET has become the fan's film and that he plans on making it the best it can be.

"It was the fans that turned HATCHET into the success that it was - and the fans only. We were a tiny indie film and therefore our theatrical run didn't get TV commercials, a distributor who pummeled money behind advertising it on 2,000 screens, or any of the stuff that the studio films get. HATCHET became a best seller because of the horror fans who embraced it and the critics worldwide who made so much noise about it. So understand that if I am at the helm, I am not about to just make the sequel in the spare time around my other projects and not give the fans all I can. I am currently in Utah starting pre-production on FROZEN, but we are still in constant discussions with Anchor Bay trying to figure out a plan that works for HATCHET 2. Projects push and post-pone all of the time, so a time could present itself this year much sooner rather than later." He continues, "It's just the nature of the business and I am gratefully a filmmaker who happens to have projects moving forward in many different genres. But rest assured that there will be a sequel coming down the road. As horror fans know, when a genre film makes money, the distributor most always makes a sequel. When a film becomes a studio's most successful title, there is absolutely no question that they will make a sequel."

Watch for the return of Victor Crowley hopefully sooner than later.

Unless Adam Green is willing to sacrafice a little mainstream to do this, this film will either die or live on life support on someone else, then die.

Hatchet was a good movie, a bit overrated for what all was said about it. I definitly liked Vic Crowley character and would really like to see more of his story in a sequal. I know Adam has had plans and ideas and a possible script for Hatchet 2 already set, but if he's going to pull the whole "I'll get to it later" BS, then by all means threaten him like they did with Zombie and hire another director to scare him into directing it.

With a better budget, Hatchet 2 could be really good. *psss...if they did it in 3D that would be KICKASS** haha, I'm really digging the 3D now with MBV.

We'll just have to wait and see. Would like to see this by next year, but if they wait too long to make this nobody is going to care.

This is one of my fave horror movies in the last couple years.

I bought it as a blind buy in december 2007, cause i heard so many good things and figured it was only 10 dollars. and i'm so glad i did.

I like the commentary on it. I must have watched the dvd 10-15 times already.

I look forward to this.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Just bought a copy for 4.99 at Blockbuster the other day.

 

[deathshead2]

Not a big fan of it, second might be better. I'm more interested in this animated aquaman product thats mentioned.

New or used?

The special features on it are excellent.


Another great movie by Green is Spiral. It's more of a thriller then slasher.

Some say its a throw back to old hitchcock films.

 

[deathshead2]

It's the used R-rated one with no special features. I bought one with a gift card awhile back.

Used. They were running the typical 3 for 20 movie deal and they only had two of them on the shelf.

Has Audio Commentary, the making of, meeting Victor Crowley, Guts and Gorre, Anatomy of a Kill, a Twisted Tale, Gag Reel and trailer. Unrated director's cut.

That's weird. the BB i go too was only renting the rated version.

The unrated cut has more gore and blood. Plus all the special features.

Rated version has the commentary and traileri think only.

I remember seeing hr teaser for this way back a few years ago, when i rented Behind the Mask: Rise of Leslie Vernon. Another great slasher film from anchor bay..

That's still on my list. Strangely found Wal-Mart stocking that film.

I usually end up going to a number of Blockbuster's, but ironically, the one that's a stones throw away from where I work always has a knack for mixing it up with the Unrated fare. They had Mirrors Unrated in stock as well, completely new. Didn't feel like driving to Wal-Mart, so I bought it there.

Most definitely on the list.

Think that's Wal-Mart's general approach to horror DVDs anywhere.

Should be able to get it cheap. since its from achor bay and walmart most of the time has there dvds for 10 dollars or less.

That's actually where I saw Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.

Talk about random surprise couresty Wal-Mart for a change.

So very true and they move them relatively cheap.

Always love it when Halloween rolls around and they do give plenty of sections of horror movies on the cheap.

Not a fan of their combo DVDs since not all of them really fit with one another, but the collections are at least cheap enough.

The week i went to buy it, they didn't have it and didn't wanna spend 26 dollars for it down at the mall. so i just bought it off ebay. I don't have a credit card. i got it for like 5 bucks preused.

I like around halloween but the ones they have out i got mostly.

I bought the demon knight/bordello of blood double pack for like 10 dollars a few year ago.

The first one was the most terrible thing that ever got overhyped. I finished it and said ''That's it? That's what everyone is in love with?"

 

[Rac]

I liked the first one. It was fun. (Though, I too thought it was overhyped.) I'm in board for second.

Then i guess you just don't get the point of it.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Finished it last night and thought it was a great mix of horror and dark humor.

Still have to get to the special features, but I'm definitely game for a sequel.
