After a monumental box-office failure, Adam Green’s unrated HATCHET 2 has done pretty well for itself on DVD and VOD. As such, it seems Dark Sky Films is keen on bringing the monstrous Victor Crowley back for part tres!
That’s right y’all, ArieScope Pictures (Corey Neal) is co-producing with Dark Sky, with EVP of the latter beaming:
“It has been our intention from the beginning to make the Hatchet story an episodic one. Adam Green created a horror icon in Victor Crowley, and we’re pleased that Crowley will live on in future installments of the franchise.”
Sounds groovy right, a throwback slasher franchise, the type we all know and love from the 80s. F*ckin’ radical!
Here’s what Green had to say about it:
“We already had a possible story-line for Hatchet 3 worked out before we began shooting Hatchet II, so my cast, crew and I are beyond excited to see that the story and legacy of Victor Crowley will indeed continue. For a little indie movie that I dreamt up when I was just eight years old, it has been absolutely surreal to watch it turn into a modern-day slasher franchise.”
Nice! We’re with you there Adam, all the f*ckin’ way!
No casting or plot details have been given yet, but more on HATCHET 3 as we reel it in…
