Well, it looks like the hit horror anthology Nightmare Cinema is getting a sequel, according to Mick Garris.
Garris tells ComicBook.com: “We were in the early stages. One of the scripts has written, we’ve talked to a couple of directors, but then the pandemic knocked the wind out of our sails. We were making progress and the skids came on hard. Nobody knows when production is going to be back or where in the world to do it. Nightmare Cinema was always intended to be a showcase for international filmmakers, and the idea of making segments of them in different parts of the world is strong. And maybe some of those places on the planet will be more conducive more quickly to having production take place there. But really, the skids came on and have not come off yet, but I would love to see that happen.”
He added: “And the concept of Nightmare Cinema, aside from being international, was originally to do it as a series of feature films. But the anthology format played really well for the film and a barrage of very, very different stories, both cinematically and content-wise was thrilling to me again, to have a Japanese director, a British director, a Cuban director, and two American directors making their token appearances.“
The original flick told the tale of five strangers who converge at a haunted movie theater owned by The Projectionist (Mickey Rourke) and witness a series of screenings that shows them their deepest fears and darkest secrets over five tales from directors Alejandro Brugués, Joe Dante, Mick Garris, Ryūhei Kitamura, and David Slade.
