Lionsgate released the official press release for Eli Roth’s
HOSTEL: PART II, giving us an
official synopsis, and a little better idea of what Roth has in mind for us for the second go-round.
While we’ve basically known it revolves around three chicks this time, the details have been limited… until now. Check it: Three young Americans studying art in Rome set off for a weekend trip when they run into a beautiful model from one of their classes. Also on her way to an exotic destination, the gorgeous European invites the coeds to come along, assuring them they will be able to relax and rejuvenate. Will the girls find the oasis they are looking for? Or are they poised to become victims for hire, pawns in the fantasies of the sick and privileged from around the world who secretly travel here to savor more grisly pursuits?
I’m gonna guess 2 of the 3 will become victims, with one barely surviving in the end, with just enough to keep us wanting more and leaving open yet another possibility for a PART III. But that’s just me guessing, I have no clue what’s gonna happen!
Also confirmed was the cast, which includes Lauren German, Bijou Phillips, Roger Bart, Richard Bugl, Vera Jordanova, Heather Mattarazzo, Stanislav Ianevski and Milan Knazko. So far, things are looking good, and I doubt Roth would disappoint us, as the guy’s a horror freak like you and me… maybe even more-so.
Still no ‘official’ release date, though some still say it’s January 5th, 2007. I recall Roth sayin’ there’d be no way in hell it’d be ready by then, so… we’ll see. Stick around for more on HOSTEL: PART II as we hear it!
