EXCL: Green Officially Back to Write, Direct Hatchet 2

November 24, 2009
In 2010, there's still a reason to stay out of the swamp, because Victor Crowley is back.Adam Green exclusively announced to Shock Till You Drop this morning that he is officially returning to write and direct Hatchet 2, the long-awaited follow-up to 2007's slasher film Hatchet.
"It's finally happening," Green enthused. "It's going to have double the body count and Anchor Bay is being cool enough to allow me to make the sequel I want to make."
The writer-director recently wrapped the thriller Frozen which is opening in theaters next February. He's wasting no time between productions; pre-production on Hatchet 2 has already begun.
And while he can't announce the cast just yet, he can confirm Kane Hodder is most definitely returning as the bayou-stalking killer known as Victor Crowley. Also, some surprising names are being added to the cast line-up. Unfortunately, Joel Moore (Avatar, Spiral) won't be returning as he lost his arm in the original (and is presumably dead). To have him back would mean they'd have to call upon some CGI augmentation which goes against Green's determined use of practical FX only in the Hatchet films.
Speaking of FX, Robert Pendergraft will be taking the lead this time out creating a Crowley that looks even more bad-ass than before.
Shooting on Hatchet 2 begins early next year. Stay tuned for casting announcements sometime next month!

Can't wait to see this, its going to be badass. Adam Green if your reading this, you need to have the beautiful blonde actress Julianna Guill audition for a role.
She would be perfect for this film.

Hope this guy has a long and fruitful career. It's so good to see a directer stay away from CGI in a horror movie. He deserves to crush all the other bull**** horror movies.

I've been excited for Hatchet 2 since the first time I saw the original. Adam Green is a new forced to be reckoned with in the horror genre and I can't wait to see what comes next

I liked Hatchet and all, but I didn't think it was the end-all-be-all that it was always made out to be. Still, it was good, and I will see this one.

and just like that, my pants are too tight.

End-all & be-all? that's your problem if you got too amped. An enjoyable horror flick deserves a follow-up.

Green is OK.... I guess.
