Craven Readying Hills 3 and More
March 2nd, 2009
One of the biggest driving forces in our genre is no doubt Wes Craven. Now with the remake of Last House on the Left just around the corner, this master of horror shared some new details about what to expect in the coming year.
Craven spoke with Shock Till You Drop about the slate of films coming up under his production banner Midnight Entertainment.
"We're going to be exploring new avenues," Craven tells Shock. "The Hills Have Eyes 3, we have a concept for which is really fun. A possible sequel to The Last House on the Left, then The People Under the Stairs and Shocker. That's it for the films we somewhat own. The first two I own with one other guy. People and Shocker Universal owns. But if I say, 'No, don't make it' they can't make it."
Of the abovementioned films it looks like The Hills Have Eyes 3 is the closest to happening. Click on the above link to dig on the whole story.

NEXT STORY
Keira Knightley to Fend Off Organ Harvesters in Never Let Me GoFox loves organ harvesting/cloning movies, and since Turistas and The Island were nothing short of huge for them, it's obviously time to go back to the well and dig up some more spleen-splitting scares. This time with Keira Knightley!
I haven't seen either of The Hills remakes. Were they that bad huh?

The first was fair; and honestly, I fell asleep during part of the second and didn't miss a thing. It was really pretty awful.

I loved the first. The second was an abortion.

So, by 'new avenues' he actually means remakes of all his old films. This must be his idea of retirement. It's okay by me as long as he remakes "Deadly Friend"...but only as long as he doesn't write it with his son like Hills 2. Yuck that movie was poop.

So Craven's pretty much going the John Carpenter route now with the remakes, huh?
"There are *how many* zeros on that check?! Sold!"

I hear that, UC! Part II was cinematic offal; chewing broken glass would be more fun.
