In news that will surprise absolutely no one, Screen Gems and Lionsgate are already planning a follow up to weekend horror master HOSTEL. Writer/director Eli Roth is in talks to return for the second go round, good news since he has given vague reference to already having a plan for a sequel.
According to Variety Lionsgate and Screen Gems intend to release the sequel in a year, mimicking Lionsgate’s successful quick turnaround of “Saw” and “Saw II.” Lionsgate and Screen Gems will have the same partnership arrangement as on the first “Hostel,” whereby Screen Gems will make the movie, while Lionsgate will release it in the U.S.
Makes sense, stick with what works. On that note, however, there is no early word about Quentin Tarantino Presenting HOSTEL II.
