Hostel 2 is going to be coming out way in about a year. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. It’s basic math really. When a film only costs $4.8 million dollars to make, and then make over $21 million on it’s opening weekend… then that equals SEQUEL in just about any language.
The word on the street is that Lions Gate is already lining up Hostel director Eli Roth to do the sequel… and they want it done FAST to capitalism on the curent popularity of the project. The good folks over at Cinema Blend give us the following:
Taking a cue from Lions Gate’s other big-money horror franchise Saw, their plan is to release the next edition a year after the first. So expect it around January next year.
As I said in my review of Hostel in a previous Audio Edition, the film is disturbing… VERY disturbing… but it accomplishes what all horror movie set out to do. Scare you. That’s what people go to horror films for. To feel scared and yet safe at the same time. Hostel delivers that.
I’m not really sure how you can do another Hostel without it feeling silly or “done” already. I guess we’ll see.
