More Bad Kids Go 2 Hell
Last year’s horror comedy Bad Kids Go to Hell was lots of fun, and it did well enough to even warrant a sequel! One that stars a former Hobbit and his lovely true life daughter. Read on for the first word on Bad Kids Go 2 Hell. See what they did there?
From the Press Release
Sean Astin (pictured; “The Strain,” the Lord of the Rings trilogy) and daughter Ali Astin (pictured; Lord of the Rings: Return of the King), Gina Gershon (Killer Joe, Showgirls, Bound), Drake Bell (Nickelodeon’s “Drake & Josh”), and Sufe Bradshaw (HBO’s “Veep”) have signed on to join Sammi Hanratty (WGN America’s “Salem”) in Bad Kids Go 2 Hell, the latest chapter in the cult dark comedy-horror franchise Bad Kids Go To Hell.
The announcement was made today by the producers of the Bad Kids film franchise, James R. Hallam, Barry Wernick, and Brad Keller. The film is based on the best-selling graphic novel and has developed a tremendous cult following.
BGKTH veteran Ben Browder (“Farscape,” “Stargate,” “Arrow”), who played “Max” in the original film, makes his feature directorial debut on BKG2H as well as reprises his role for the sequel. The film reunites Sean Astin with his daughter, last seen together on-screen in Return of the King. Hanratty, in the starring role, leads an ensemble cast of “Bad Kids” comprised of young rising stars Colby Arps (the upcoming Men, Women & Children), Sophia Taylor Ali (“Tyrant” and the upcoming Walking with the Dead), Matthew Frias (When the Game Stands Tall), and Erika Daly.
Executive Producer James Hallam noted: “We are so blessed to have rounded out our youthful and very talented cast with the star power that Sean, Gina, Drake, and Sufe bring to the table.”
In Bad Kids Go to 2 Hell, it’s four years later and a new group of students has been placed in Saturday detention at snooty Crestview Academy. After one of the kids locks away the teacher assigned to watch them, the five of them very quickly find their ranks dwindling as each meets a gruesome fate. They may make it out of the library, but with a new threat revealing itself around every hallway, is there enough time and resources for at least one of them to make it out alive?
The film, which was written by Barry Wernick and based on the comic book series created by Wernick and Matthew Spradlin, is currently in production in Texas and is expected to be released in summer 2015. Additional plot details are being kept under wraps, but fans of the first film in the franchise should expect a lot of fun twists and turns.
