Finally! A Screamers Sequel!
Wow, of all the sequels I expected to be announced in the coming months, I would have honestly never said Screamers 2 would be one of ‘em. Shows what I know!
Moviehole learned that Kaw director Sheldon Wilson is on board to direct the sequel to the Christian Duguay-helmed 1995 original, which will see a group of survivors eeking out an existence on planet Sirus 6-B that are threatened by a new form of Screamers; Screamers that can morph into human form before destroying their prey!
Funny, someone just brought up this movie in a recent Dinner for Fiends (I’ll be damned if I can remember which one or who mentioned it), which means someone in Hollywood must have been listening!
Screamers 2 will film this January in Canada (of course); expect more as casting gets underway!
Wonder who could replace Peter Weller in your heart on the Dread Central forums!

Those of you who follow comics closer that I’m able to may be familiar with the work of Studio 407; they’re one of the new kids on the comic publishing block but despite (or maybe because of)this they’ve just signed a first-look deal with Myriad Pictures to create live-action features based on their property, or so says The Hollywoo


Screamers was a solid sci-fi flick with a good cast and interesting premise. Hopefully the sequel will capture the same gritty sense as the first film.

The original isn't a great film by any stretch but I remember being pleasantly surprised anyway. Of course this may have been due to the extreme lack of genre film releases in the 90ies. I haven't re-visited it since I saw it back then but if they come out with a halfway decent DVD to coincide with the DTDVD sequel I'll bite.
