My Bloody Good buddy over at BloodyGoodHorror, Eric Newell, sent me an email regarding news of a sequel to JACK BROOKS: MONSTER SLAYER. Now, I haven’t yet seen JACK BROOKS, but it’s in a pile of DVDs that I’m planning to watch very soon. I’ve only heard good things about it – and based on those things, it would appear that a sequel is only natural.
Eric #2 interviewed director Jon Knautz and asked if there were more adventures planned for Mr. Brooks…
We’re currently in script development, we haven’t actually spun out a draft yet, but we’re quite far into development. Far enough that there’s no turning back. We knew we didn’t have the money to do a full blown action/horror movie with part 1, we just didn’t have the money. So the gameplan was to make a movie about a guy who becomes a monster slayer, and then the action hits you at the end. With Part 2 now, we’re looking to raise quite a bit more money… people will get what they want in this one for sure, if they like the end of the first one.
We would like to be shooting next summer. We want this one to go really well, so we’re going to spend at least another 4 months on the script, and then give it maybe 5 months of pre-production and then start shooting next summer. So that’s what we’re looking at.
