After the sneak peek at Adam Green’s follow-up to Hatchet, the slow burn psycho drama Spiral (review), Green took the stage at Fantasia for the usual Q&A that follows the films, and even though he was discussing Spiral specifically, of course Hatchet was brought up more than once.

In fact, Green made mention that the producers of Hatchet are ready for the sequel to roll as early as this February, but Green wasn't able to confirm his involvment yet as the talks are just becoming serious. Obviously nothing is set in stone until contracts are signed, but February is the month everyone’s looking towards for a start date.

You may recall that Green’s made mention before about Hatchet 2, stating he already has a story in mind and that it may involve more of Tony Todd’s character from the first film. Of course, that won’t mean much to you until you go out and see the film when it opens on September 7th, but trust me, it’s cool news.
