Wes Craven recently sat down with Dan Epstein from over at "Suicide Girls" and gave brief updates on pretty much his entire upcoming movie slate. Firstly, when asked about a possible RED EYE sequel, he mentioned:

I think it is completely possible if you extended those characters because they had such incredible chemistry. Whether those two actors would want to come back again or would be affordable, I don't know. But I thought it would be fascinating to have something like Rippner being held hostage by the government and needing her help for some reason. So they get thrown into bed together, so to speak. In a way that they'd be the oddball duo, they hate each other and eventually become a tight-spun team. I think Carl was sketching out stuff. I know the studio was interested. Rachel would be trickiest for them to get because she has a manager who's extremely cautious about her career. They'd have to have a really terrific script and I'd jump at that job in a minute.

Kinda like how we'd jump on McAdams in a minute. Jail time? Sure. But totally worth it. When asked about whether the "Project Greenlight" flick FEAST, on which he was executive producer, will ever be released, he mentioned:

I just heard yesterday from my producer, Marianne [Maddalena,] that they had pulled it from release, which is very disappointing. All I can say is that whole Weinstein Company now is unsure and in all sorts of stress. Maybe they didn't have enough funds to release it last year or something. I'd seen a cut of it and it was a lot of fun so I hope they do release it this year. It certainly deserves it.

rachael mcadams is like 3o, so i don't think there would be any jail time for well, you know. or maybe i just misunderstood what you were saying.

Uhh... this wasn't a masterpiece to begin with. A second one? No. But since when does Craven care about a quality movie? (Cough.. Cursed... Cough)

What ever happened to making 1 movie and leaving it alone. Red Eye was barely decent anyway.

Bad Idea...
This...should not happen. If you extend the characters any further, they'll leave "realism" and enter Middle-Earth.
