Hatchet 2 is go!

After two years of waiting for an official announcement, it seems as though we can finally expect HATCHET 2 to slice its way toward us in 2010. ShockTilYouDrop learned today that Victor Crowley will be making mincemeat out of a brand new bunch of unlucky peeps next year, with original director Adam Green once again taking the reins.

"It's finally happening... It's going to have double the body count and Anchor Bay is being cool enough to allow me to make the sequel I want to make."

Kane Hodder is back as the ghoulish murderer; though no other cast is known, Shock learned that Joel David Moore won't be returning. (Which makes sense, he DID lose an arm in the last one.)

When I spoke to Green a couple years ago while he was promoting the first HATCHET, he told me candidly, "I want to make the sequel that sucks the least." Hopefully, he'll make a movie that doesn't suck at all! (To read that 2007 interview, head on over HERE.)

HATCHET 2 is already in pre-production. Green's next film, FROZEN, comes out in February 2010.

Spilled Blood: Green also told me that he wanted Tony Todd's "Reverend Zombie" character to return... Mercedes McNab (above) certainly won't be able to.
