It was revealed recently that a sequel to 2007’s retro slasher homage Hatchet is nearing production. While writer/director Adam Green is currently busy toiling on his third feature Frozen, he hopes to find time to unleash Victor Crowley’s return later in the year.
The fine lads at Dread Central tracked Green down for comment, and he elaborated on the state of affairs…
“Hopefully it gets made this year if we can schedule it in a way that works for me,” he explained. “The only reason a production date has not been agreed upon is because clearly everyone in the Hatchet camp wants to do it at a time when I can be the one to return at the helm, and as you can see from the multitude of projects I am already doing, it’s going to take some very careful planning and scheduling to find a time where I am available to make the film.”
Green has stated in the past that Tony Todd’s Reverend Zombie character would play a big role in a sequel, going head-to-head with Crowley. Also, the teen in the pig mask in the original’s flashback sequence supposedly ties in as well…if I were to chance a guess, I’d say it was heroine Tamara Feldman’s character as a youngster, adding a guilt-ridden Tommy Jarvis aspect to things…
