Recently at the press conference for the upcoming ’30 days of Night’ producer Sam Raimi talked about new ‘Ghosthouse’ films that are coming up. Needless to say, the movies will not be on my must see list.
MovieHole gives us this:
According to Raimi, there’s a “Grudge 3” on the way (the script has been written); a “Rise 2” (he’s unsure whether Michael Chiklis and Lucy Liu will reprise their roles) and yes, regrettably, he still plans to remake “Evil Dead” – just not for a while.
Okay, as much as I want to bash the upcoming and needless Grudge sequel, I have to say this…RISE 2?!! WTF?! This movie was horrific and made hardly any money at the box office. Do we really need a sequel to this? ‘The Grudge 3’ is also a project that I could do without seeing. (Actually I could have done without seeing the last installment) Obviously, the theme of the movies is that the “grudge” never dies. I guess the only thing that has died is most people’s anticipation for the final installment.
I love Sam Raimi, but a lot of his films under his ‘GhostHouse Pictures’ production company have pleased me as much as Michael Bay’s ‘Platinum Dunes’ films have. (Not a compliment by the way!)
Although, I am looking forward to ’30 Days of Night.’ I’m crossing my fingers this movie will meet my expectations.
